Sound Quality

Fender Telecaster, Gibson ES-175, Fender Stratocaster. Blues, country, Americana, Southern Rock, Jazz. Absolutely quiet. Single coil is a bit noisier as expected. From crisp rockabilly twang to dark grinding blues. I still need to explore the mid/raw setting more. It is like having several amps in one.
Can handle small gigs and with a mic it sounds great.

So far so good. Looking at David Allen's work, I am confident there will be no issues.

David Allen answers the phone. He was patient in answering all my questions. His assessment and description of the amp was right on the mark. Prices are very fair.
Overall Rating
:
10
25 years playing acoustic and electric. I would call David if it were stolen to find a new one. High quality craftsmanship, truth in advertising, fair price, wonderful sound.
I directly compared it with Fenders (Deluxe Reverb,
Super Reverb, Deluxe Reverb custom rebuild, twin, champ), Vox AC-30, Peavey Classic 30, Carvin Bel Aire. The 10" speaker does not produce the lows as well as a Deluxe. It breaks up at about 6-7 depending on the mid/raw setting. Low volume with raw gain is very good. Good recording amp.
