It has some similarity with the Champ except that the GA5 has an EL84 instead of the Champ's 6V6. The EL84 will give it more gain and sound less Fendery than a Champ.
The GA5 has far more in common with the Epi Valve Junior and Harley Benton GA5. Think of the GA5 as a hand wired VJ with the same speaker, circuit and what looks like the same OT in a much prettier and desirable box.
At $299 it's about right. $699 was just taking the pi$$.
