Ok. Although this is a little louder than most amps, the tone is unparalleled. I got to play around with it all day. 1st, once it is really warmed up and I a talking a couple of hours, the noise really goes down. Second the drive channel is extremely hot. Dialing in proper and its unreal. This amp takes getting use too and can handle a very large gig. Blues Tone is perfect!!!

"Takes Pedals Well!"
zZounds Employee
Written by a current zZounds employee or former employee during the time of their employment.
This is a great and compact 1x12" combo for gigging and studio musicians. I use this mostly as a studio amp and for taking pedals through the clean channel.
I was very impressed with the tone of the amp, reminded me of a more vintage Marshall sound than something like a Fender or Vox tone. There is some dark tonality much like a JTM45 or other plexi-style amps.
Overall I was very satisfied with the amplifier at this price and think it's a perfect foundation for any rig, including one's with OTHER PRS gear in it.

"Great tube amp at a competitive price point!"

I picked this amp up because of the features and price point and it hasn't disappointed. The main purpose of the amp for me is as a clean amp to run pedals through. It's done the job nicely. The gain channel is nice, but in relation to the clean channel it gets very loud very quickly. I also get audible popping when switching between the two channels that makes it almost impossible to use with out muting the amp signal before switching. Not a major issue for me, since I use the clean channel 99% of the time. Could be for someone who is going to use the two channels. All in all, for the features and for the sound, I'm happy with the purchase. The only comparison left will be how it holds up over time compared to my AC15.

"Killer little amp!"
Verified Customer

Worth it just for the clean channel! That channel doesn't break up way too early like a Deluxe and has much more tone control. Besides that you get an awesome overdrive channel with seperate tone and volume controls that can go from a light crunch to a perfect sustained lead sound. Doesn't sound boxy like a lot of small sized 15 and 20ish watt amps. It is much more quiet than most small tube amps. Excellent tone for live gigging or in the studio. I can't recommend it enough. I do wish it had an XLR simulated speaker out for feeding to a mixer like a lot of newer amps these days, but that's fairly easy to work around.

"I like it"

Very light for a tube amp. Clean channel is nice and the dirty channel has tons of tone. I wanted a small amp that was light and sounded good without pedals. This one works. I may change my mind when I need to change tubes as they appear to be soldered to the board. But for now it works great.

"Killer little 20 watt amp!"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Excellent clean tones with more headroom before breakup than a Deluxe or Blues Jr thanks to the larger output valves. The cleans are nice and even with a wide range of sweet spot. The gain channel is very sensitive for a guitar with hot pickups but sounds quite nice when you find the right level. I think they should use a gain pot with a more gradual onset. An XLR simulated output would be helpful for quicker setups. I've played several gigs with it and it's really great. For the price, this is very hard to beat!
