I haven't tried them but there was a thread on musicradar about them a while back. Or maybe here. Or maybe both... I forget. :lol:

This is a sistercompany from the Italian boutique-amp-builder The Valve. http://www.the-valve.com/
I saw the guitars demo'd in clips and they sound nice, but what I read is they're cheap copies and the workmanship isn't always happening. So don't expect the quality of an The Valve-amp (very nice amps, played the 2/50 in the shop).

I have actually played the Les Paul copy with the Floyd.  It retails for around £500 which i would say is a little on the pricey side.  The feel isnt too bad, the body contouring is lovely but it does have the air of cheap about it in places, especially regarding things like the faux binding which wasnt too clever, but in other areas it looks quite the deal :?

I'd put them just above a decent epiphone.  If the guitar had been £350 i'd have snapped the guys hand off.

Ironically i tried it out on a valve 250 amp - i ended up buying the amp not the guitar!

I love this amp, but I ended up buying an Orange Rockerverb 50 head. The drivechannel drove me to the Orange, but the especially the cleans on the The Valve are amazing.
