This is a 15w amp. Just an on-switch, tone, mastervolume and gainpot. You dont need more, do you?! It has a built-in powersoak, so you can (accidently) leave it on without a load!
It has a line-out for recording and a fuction to bypass the preamp.
it is just what I need. No shitty stuff that can break down, just pure tone. I give it an 8 due the lack of middle/bass/treble (presence?) and choosable impendance.
Sound Quality

The Sound is in between a marshall plexi and a jcm800, but then just miniature. Its actually a vox ac15 with some tweaks and modifications to tighten up the low-end and smooth off the highs.
I use it for all my stuff. Its so small, I can pack it up in my eastpack and go to the gig! I have that thing in one hand, and my les paul in the other. It sings when played clean (GREAT jazz sounds; its warm enough!) and it rumbles and roars. It's quite tight! Pinch harmonics are easily done, and stuff like Iced earth can be done quite good.
I use this amp with actualy any guitar; les pauls, strats, tele's, Flying Vee's, explorers, ES335's.
When the gain is rolled down and the mastervolume full open, you get a very cool 'thin lizzy' (led zeppelin) kinda rock-sound. With the gain open, it can match the jcm800 for crunch and tightness, but it has less 'screaming highs' than a jcm800. That though, fits me perfectly.
Reliability

It has never broken down. period. I've played it for 2 years straight, and it still sounds great. It does need to be re-tubed, but the manufacturer offered to do it for me, but I havent found the time though.

Well, there is a 3 year waranty on the amp itself, and a 3 month waranty on the tubes! Great waranty, huh?
Overall Rating

No Opinion
there aint much I wanna add, just that, if it would be stolen, I'd have another one made in a heartbeat.
