With dual 12AX7s shaping the preamp voicing, and a single 6L6 in the power section, this caged monster is the real deal. From touch-sensitive and punchy cleans, to beefy, heavey Rock tones, the Pico Valve will get you the tone you want without tearing the paint off the walls.
What’s more, you can custom-tailor your Pico by swapping the power tube with nearly any octal-based tube, and there’s no re-biasing necessary.

Love it!

It looks more like a toaster oven than a guitar amplifier.

It looks exactly like the THD bivalves etc.

And i agree i've always thought they looked like an odd toaster and also that they couldn't be bothered to finish building them so just bent a bit of grill and stuck it on
