Subject:	Don't let the low wattage fool you!
Quality:	Extremely well made and very dependable. Also, it doesn't let you play until the tube is warm. This adds longevity for both the quality of sound and lifetime of the tube. It takes less than a minute to warm anyway.
Sound:	Warm and rich like a tube amp should be. Has great volume for only five watts and still allows for all of your nuances to come through. I play classical, rock, metal, a lot of blues and little bits of other varied genres and it all sounds great through Junior. Hook up your effects or keep it clean. Sounds great either way.
Reliability:	I have had no problems with this amp what so ever. I don't know how long the tubes last on these amps but I will come back when it does and let you know. lol.
Overall:	For the price and quality I have found no other practice amp I like more. It is great for home use, and yet has enough volume to rock coffee houses and old folks homes. Not even a joke. I have played nothing but tube amps now for close to ten years and I have come to expect a lot from them, and they always deliver. Junior here is no exception.
Playability and Feel:	Not applicable to amp.
Tone:	It is warm and rich. Sounds great loud.
Finish:	Not applicable to amp.
Action:	Not applicable to amp.
Skill Level:	Intermediate
Do you own this product?:	Yes. I have owned it since late 2004 or early 2005.
