Has anyone else rocked this yet?

I saw one in the guitar store the other day and I must admit that a 100w tube amp for $499 (Canadian) grabbed my attention. I never had the chance to turn it up particularly loud, but at lowish volumes it had a nice clean tone (gain 1-2) and a surprisingly thick dirt tone (gain 10) without the thinness I'm accustomed to hearing from a low volume tube amp.

It kinda makes me want to bring it home for the night to see how she sounds at a decent volume.

The new recording amp version also seems interesting.

I ran one of those Windsor halfstacks through it's paces, and honestly, it sounds even better turned up loud.

For the cheap price, it's a real bargain for someone needing a decent amp for playing in a loud band. Even though it's 100W, it's pretty similar to a 50W JMP Marshall with more gain on tap. The preamp can be a little buzzy, but if you dial it right, it gets a pretty high quality sound.

+1 to GJ

Tried one the other day and got awsome classic tones from it. It works great for sabbath and yngwie tones to my ear. For the price its definitly worth it if you cant dish out the $$$ for an old marshall, orange, or laney plexi style head.

I wish they had amps like that back when I got my 1st tube amp...

I got some great sounds out of the one I played. I don't like the cab, but the head is cool.
