Volume, Tone, Vibrato rate and depth. This is the smallest, and least expensive combo that has the pitch shifting (like a singer) vibrato. It's a very pretty, shimmering effect. If you turn the vibrato off and crank it, it's really big sounding amp with plenty of overdrive, and great bass.

I love small amps, you can drive the s*** out of them without hurting yourself or getting turned into the police. This is one of the best, I'd rate it higher than a blackface vibrochamp, tweed champ, danelectro, superchamp (all I've got experience with).

No idea, I've never gigged with it, it's nearly 40. I think I'll leave it at home. Looks a bit delicate.

Long dead and gone. Tubes aren't too unusual, though, so it oughta be easy to fix.
