I have owned this amp for almost a year now and it is my #1 amp for Blues and Rock tone.
Single channel with Trem.
Origially with a Blues Jr solid pine cab I have put the chassis into a 50's Gibson 30 Cab. This amp has now has a visual vibe and the tone to back it.
Sound Quality
:
10
I generally play through it with a Les Paul but it sounds great with any guitar.
It suits my style of playing because the EL84's give a beautiful clean tone and when overdriven the amp has nice lush overtones that are very inspiring.
I have hand selected a Greenback to go with this amp which also is why it sounds so good.
I mostly play theatre gigs so 18 watts is perfect for volume and I only run a Morley Wha and an MXR Dyna Comp.
Reliability

This amp is hand wired so I have been touring with it for about a year and it has never let me down. I have changed the tubes about 3 times and have done around 100 shows.

No Opinion
When I first ordered the amp S2 was very helpul in helping me select what I wanted in a good theatre/club amp. And everything was delivered on time and with follow up emails to make sure I was happy.
First rate service.
Overall Rating
:
10
I have been playing for five years and touring for three years.
I also own a 64 Blackface Deluxe non Reverb, a 1960 Brownie Vibrolux, a reissue Tweed Twin, and a JMP 50watt half stack. I know it sounds crazy but honestly A/B side to side this amp smokes any of them.
If I am playing a larger stage though and I need a little more volume I will use either the JMP or the Tweed Twin.
