Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
Geez I love this amp. Good looking vintage style. Easy access to controls (which include presence, bass, treble, mid, master volume, volume bright, volume normal). Not mentioned in description are 2 sets of inputs (two each: normal & bright). You can plug in a guitar in one and bass (or drum machine, whatever) in the other. It effects overall volume to do this, but is a cool, vintage benefit. The back is open with access to tubes. The cleans from the bright input are vintage Fender...w/a trem & reverb pedal, it's surf city. With normal input the rectifier kicks in and it well...dang. No wonder Jim Marshal used this as a model for his line of amps in England. There are no other bells and whistles...no spring reverb tank, no trem or vibe...just plain outstanding tube amp. Cover included. Pricey, but worth it. Top of the line.

Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
