I can say one thing and one thing only here, this is by far the most versitile amp of all time! It is a shockingly pure and untainted handwired circuitry that you can manipulate with almost any type of power tubes you could think of. Because this amp comes with a section so the user can easily bias the amp thereselves, there is even a nob so you can run the first preamp tube hotter to get even more breakup! It is a loud 30 watts matched with 2 12inch hempcone tone tubby speakers, I went with the ceramic and alnico combo for even more veritile tones. It has a wonderful effects loop that is actually a seperate channel and all of your effects can run through it, whas, delays, overdrives. However, you dont really need an overdrive, this amps gain and drive features let you manipulate wonderfully natural vintage distortion, and that distortion backs off with a little roll off on your guitars volume. You want clean, keep it on 7 or 8, you want some dirt, pull it up to ten.

The sounds are unparalleled to any amp ever. Because like I said, this amp is as pure as you are going to get in an amp. And the tone options are really up to you in this category. I play a strat, a tele, and a Sg with p90s and its the best of any world I want. There is absolutely NO noise, the only noise you are gonna notice is the noise from crappy power, or how crappy your playing is, because this amp lets every nuance of your playing through, and it really makes you want to be a better player considering you have to master those nuances, its quite inspiring in that regard. The tone tubbys are some of the most amazingly awesome speakers around the produce the most amazing natural bass, i can turn the bass down on this amps eq to 0 and it still produces adequate bass. Its highs are also very crisp and natural, hemp really produces some amazing tone for a guitar.

Reliability : 10
I just bought this amp not to long ago so Im not to completely sure about its reliablity. However, simply looking at the amp you realize that the thing is built like a tank. If you get one I recomend taking the head off and looking at the circuitry underneath to see what I mean, the solder joints are perfect and tight, it is exceptionally precise and clean. The tubes are also placed so they are standing up, and this feature in amps has been shown to make the tubes last longer.

Seigmund offers a 3 year warranty, he works on the amps himself and you talk to him personally, if something goes wrong, he will fix it.
He is quite a joyful character that is inspiring and quite fun to be around.

Overall Rating : 10
It is the best amp ever! It is a steal at 2400, considering handbuilt amps can go for in upwards of 3000 to 5000 and probably will not sound as good. Once you realize what this amp can do, It will be the only amp you will ever use. If it got broken, lost or stolen, I would buy another from Chris Siegmund.
