This amp is a brand new kid on the block 2007 made in china. Components come from Taiwan,China, and Russia.
Maybe this kind off amp was the thing i was waiting for 5 watts tube power. Its one channel, but very versatile with 16 different digital amp settings, and effects, on them selfs or mixed, delay,reverb,chorus,vibrotone,tremelo. For me its a dream come true especialy for homerecording. The new line 6 valve series are more as twice a cost, and are a little to much and powerfull for my needs. I think Fender did a wonderfull kind a job with this kind a habbit.

For me the Fender settings rules. The brit amps are a nice digital bonus, but for me Fender rules. I think they did a real good job on the Champ and Blackface settings, the Jazzking not forgett to mention.

I have owned about a dozen or so practice amps over the past year or 2, I have a 60's champ that I dont want to beat up too much. I just came back from puttin this little wonder thru its paces with a tele. WOW I love the sound of this I used the reverb and delays and was very pleased with the sound. a must have! Suits my style; who plays rockabilly, surf, jazz.

I am completely thrilled with the sound of this amp!My favorite voices are #4,#1,#2,and #8 but #4 is the one I use the most(blackface clean)#1(champ clean with compression)is sweet also.#2(champ crunch) is cool too.#8 is good for solo`s.I like the effects alot also.It has a nice rev/delay setting.The amp is not noisy at all except on some high gain voices but it works great with pedals so I dont need them.At 5 watts it is great for recording.The 8"speaker can be a little weak but an added bonus is the line out.I have used the line out with a mesa mark2c power section,a mesa 45 power sec,a randall hb 50 power section and it sounds great.You can use the amp as just a tube preamp with great results.It even warms up two tech21 power engines with equaily impressive results.All the amps I have are tube and I would not hesitate to use this as my main preamp.
