Just tried out a La Boga Caiman 50w head today. I was trying out some Jet City amps and saw this small head and thought: Why not have a go?
I found it to be a nice little head. It has two channels: Clean and overdrive (with two independent drives which can be switched with a foot switch). The cleans were really good sounding and with the two channels there's a lot of clean headroom - if you can talk about clean headroom in a two channel amp :?
The drive channel was nice as well. It goes from light crunch to hard rock teritory. The footswitch I used wasn't working properly so I didn't really test drive 1 vs drive 2 that well. It seemed to me that drive 2 was a bit fatter than drive 1, but didn't really have any more gain on tap, but this might just be me...
The amp also features a bright switch for each channel. I liked it best with the bright turned off when playing clean and the turned on when playing the drive channel.
All in all I found the Caiman to be a real nice amp. It sounded good a lower levels and I think it's possible to use it for home practice if you're allowed to make a little noise. I didn't really crank the little bugger that much (I'm quite sensitive to high music) so I can't really comment on the amps full volume capabilities, but with 50w behind it should be able to deliver.
Anyone else who has tried out this amp?
