Loving this little wonder of an amp!
Got it in a trade for my Epiphone 339, which is no more. Man this is a fun little amp. The previous owner replaced the tubes with EHX, so it's a single 6V6 and a 12AX7, and also replaced the stock 8 inch Celestion with an italian Jensen I know nothing about. Apparently the circuit is shamelessly inspired by a Fender Champ, with the addition of a tone knob.
I do know this: It sounds SWEET! It's loving my Strat and Telecaster. Doesn't sound that jangly and sparkly, it's very thick, boxy and punchy in the mids. Crank it and you get some raunchy, raw overdriven sounds.
I couldn't be less of a vintage-ist and I'm loving it. It's pure fun to crank it and let your fingers decide how loud you want things to be. Haven't tried an OD in front yet but that's gotta be fun as hell.
Also, did I mention it's tiny?
I took this picture right after I did the trade for it:
