Amp was made in 2007 bonpickerguitaramps.com Jim West owner and Designer!!
I think this amp has a character all its own it can get damn aggressive but it can be toned down to play some Jazz it has a Fender/sort of Marshall balance but in a different way, I play anything from heavy metal to Jazz and Country it covers most of it but mainly rock, blues and modern country.
One channel with Volume, Bass Treble, Midrange as well as Reverb and Reverb Dwell with a two spring reverb, it also has a master volume on the back but seems to act more as a master gain and volume you turn it up and the gain gets more aggressive but the best part is you can dial your guitar volume down and it responds in a snap.
I use this amp at home but a buddy of mine used his in a small club and was told it was two loud in short this is a small combo it is a Princeton style combo with 10" tone tubby hemp cone speaker, it is not a Fender style Princeton as we all know them as it is Jims own circuit layout with 20 watts and more balls than a three peckered Billy goat!! All true Point to Point hand wired with the top of the line Caps and components!!

Sweet and aggressive but controllable!
Any amp at 20 watts will distort dimed!!
Fender Telecasters, Strats and Gibson 335, Les Paul and P-90 Paul JR.
It fits in with what I need it for noise is none at low volume gets a bit more as you increase volume but all amps do dials go to 12 sort of a Spinal Tap joke!!

Been playing 35 years and own a Sh*t load of vintage gear as well as sold a lot of stuff!!
The prices of Jim???s amps are incredibly reasonable for what you get!!
I think if you thought this amp sucked Jim would refund you money no questions.
