Well fellas, It's amazing but I'm swapping it out... It really nails vintage Marshall vintage Plexi ina 20W/5W form factor -but the Celestion V Type 10" just can't hang at high volumes without the bottom getting really loose. This combo sounds incredible at 50-75% but that's not enough for anything but the studio or solo. And it's sounds even more incredible driving my Greenbacks. but I really wanted a little Plexi combo to travel for backup and thought maybe this could do it, but it's just not quite enough. If it was as loud and consistent at all volumes like a 22W Deluxe -I'd be all in. -but that 10" speaker is the problem -not the amp.
However, for a studio or home, this would be an absolute little muthaf*cka -can't recommend it enough. The touch sensitivity, classic growl, and unmistakable tone are all there in this little amp.
I'm going to swap this out for the SV20H and pair it with a G12 Greenback or V30 cabinet -and then I'll have something more to my need -unfortunately Marshall doesn't offer a 12" version of this yet in a combo... when they do, I'll probably be in for that %100.
I shot a quick cell phone vid rocking on it before I packed it up, I'll go to the trouble and professionally mic the SV20H version I've got coming which is the identical amp without the 10" combo form factor.
