Made in 2001. Just showed up in the store (late for Christmas) so they were cheap! 10 watts with what appears to be a 6" speaker. Interesting knob configuration, with volume and gain (which increases distortion as well as overdrive if engaged with the GRIND button) and an edge knob which has more midrange (full bodied) counterclockwise and boosts bass and treble while reducing midrange when turned clockwise. Headphone jack included. My rating is based on other small solid state amps in the relative price range.

Les Paul, Strat, Epi Dot hollow-body, lazer and a Guild flat acoustic electric. They do have interesting sounds with it, more variation than I'd have imagined. I play more bluesy numbers and it tends towards the crunch but I still have got some great sound out of it.

Been playing for about 5 years. Other amps include an Ampeg Reverbrocket 212R (the best!), a Peavey Transformer (fine) and a Crate Vintage Club 20. I bought this as a small travel amp and it is great. It's small (10 X 11 X 6) and only weighs 9 lbs. so it can travel with me.
