I got this from RVA, if the box had not been opened you could not tell it was not brand spankin' new.
Packaged very well and I got it in 2 days! (NY to NJ)


i'm still learning it and was a bit confounded by it at first. The tone knob - turns out it is flat when centered, not full open.
Dialing in a crunch that works well with the typical AC/DC G D chords either under or over saturated compared to the power chords either under or over. The tone knob helps balance things - much more active than my other amps.
I like it though I had to go back and watch some Youtube demos to hear what others can get out of it.
It is LOUD, certainly not a toy.
It does lack a certain richness of a full tube amp, a bit sterile compared to tube output. The PI and power tubes contribute a more alive feel, even when not pushed due to the added harmonics.
I may try 5751 and 12ay7 tubes I have on hand just to check it out, but it doesn't "need" anything.
I will be plugging either my phone or a laptop into the aux input to song play along, this may be its best feature.
If I had no other amps, I could get on with just this one for a long time, and the price point is appealing as well.
