I've had # 7 for awhile. It's a very nice clean sounding amp with very nice reverb. The tremolo is waaaay deep. In fact I keep the depth on minimum as more depth gets very on/off trobbing.

I bought an Avatar cube speaker cab (blue) and loaded it with a Tonker Lite. It really sounds nice. The head is 14 lbs. and the loaded cab is 26 lbs. It's plenty for live or practice and sounds nice in the living room too. I've only pugged single coils into it. I've also played it through a Truetone loaded with 2 Celestion Blues. I actually like it through the one Tonker Lite better.

I tried it as a stand alone reverb/tremolo unit along with an 18 Watt Lite II and it worked perfectly. I haven't yet ran a CD player through it. The powered trem footswitch is a cool idea.

I apologize for not being able to describe the sound. That is difficult. It's 18 watts but it definitely doesn't sound like a Marshall 18 watt. It also doesn't sound like a Dr. Z Maz Jr (also 18 watts; 2 EL84's). It doesn't sound like a Fender. The guy at Indoor Storm compared it to a Vox but I had an AC 15 and it doesn't sound like that either. I think maybe somewhere between a Fender Blackface and a Vox. It's also not as loud as the 18 watter or the Dr. Z which are both incredibly loud for 18 watts.

I hope this helps.
