Two channels, clean and overdrive. very interesting feature: it has switch with 2 different voicing at all 3 tone controls (bass, middle, treble) which gives various tone possibilities and made this amp very versatile. One great thing about this amp is it's speaker. They obviously had in mind famous JBL D 120 when they choose this one. It has alu dome and sounds just like my JBL. Third good thing is the weight, the amp is not too heavy and quite confortable to move around. 50W amp with 2x6L6 tubes. One great amp!

Beautiful. Sounds better than 4 out of my 5 vintage Fender amps from 50's and midd 60's. The only Fender I like bit more is '53 Tweed Deluxe 5B3, but Guyatone has one thing that Tweed doesn't: an overdrive channel and reverb. Clean tones really shine with amazing hi end sparkle and full tight bass response in the same time. It breaks beautifully at higher levels realising incredible harmonics. the overedrive channel is great too. Creamy, not harsh and really vintage overdrive. It clears nicely with rolling the volume down into the nice Stones crunch. Reverb works really well indeed, but equally well as in my Fender amps. The sound is top class.

I love my Guyatone. It is a bit Fenderish sound with overdrive (the overdrive works better than in Fender amps, in my opinion), but still bit on it's own. For that money, it is hands down the best amp I have ever owned. Works far better than any new Fender.
