| just got it, don't know. | | Overall:
| Absolutely has to be the best bang for the buck in the Class A tube selection for under 2K out there. 30 watts of one of the most responsive, warm, fat and fuzzy tone monsters on the planet. | | Playability and Feel:
| Looks are flawless. I read about some crazy disappointments in other reviews (web-wide), but mine is perfect in every way. | | Tone:
| A Gibson les paul (traditional), a fender strat (American deluxe), a couple of PRS's and a Parker though a Boss ME-50 all sound phenommenal through this gigantic sounding single 12", 30 watt wonder from Gibson.
Mostly made in the U.S.A., but not completletly... but who CARES?!!! This thing sounds so good that I would buy it from xxxx! Will capture your soul with warm, fat, thick and rich tone, not to mention... Volume!!! Definitely the loudest 30 watter I've ever heard. I don't care "who" made "what"... this is an incredible steel at $850.00! Just think... You get a Class A amp, with 5X12aX7's and 2X6L6's, handbuilt and point to point hand-wired masterpiece equipted with an Eminence Legend Speaker that will blow your friggin head off! ... or just mellow you out with it's warm, clean jazz tones. Just depends on what box you put (or don't put) in front of it. What ever your preference is in musical taste, it's definitely got a sound that you will Feel. | | Finish:
| The only complaint that I have is about the masking tape that they put on the 8 corners of the amp to protect it. It was hard to remove. | | Action:
| no action on an amp dude. | | Skill Level:
