Guitarist mag have reviewed it this month-they give it 5 stars.Whether you take any heed or not is your choice. It is demoed on the accompanying CD but I have not hear it.

I have the mag and have heard the clip, sounds fab, but I wanna hear a neutral real user's opinion of what it feels like, how it sounds on very low volumes etc.

I once had a UniValve and it sounded cr@p at low volumes, whereas the 80W shiva does a great job at conversation levels ... but I just wanna spare the Shiva a little ...

ohhh 'll have to pick me up a guitarist tomorrow. what are the gain levels like? the orange amps i've played have had quite modern generous amounts of gain, but since this is a small amp would i be right in assuming it's more moderate?

some guy posted clips, I'd say it has gain enough ...

am I the only one who thinks they should have painted the outside of the TT orange instead of white?

orange paint clearly has better tone.

not really. I do think it'd look better, though.

EDIT: that gibson drive clip does sound pretty good...

Yeah the gibson drive is the one that attracted me the most, although they all sound fantastic. i think they shoulda given it orange tolex - it looks like it's not finished being built :? I'd build a cabinet to house that head

^ agreed- but even orange paint would be better than what's there at the moment.

I guess they want to differentiate it from their UK-built models...

I think it's absolutely cute as it is. I want to get one ... just for hugging :roll:

Those sound clips sound ace!

I'm not so keen on the Gibson Crunch 1, but the Strat 1s sound really nice n the Gibson Drive 1 sounds really ballsy :)

yeah i'm listening to that gibson crunch one now, and it sounds a bit... im not sure, kinda fizzy compressed? something about it i don't like that much - i can see it working a whole lot better with humbuckers though

Maybe the amp just needed a kick in the arse?

My Orange sounds great when it's having it's arse kicked by a good boost pedal :)

I personally loved the Clean and Crunch Strat clips, if I'm honest, I probably preferred them to the Gibson clips! :lol:
