I've been curious about them for a while and the wife got me one for xmas. Definitely a loud little amp. I'm only able to turn it up about 1/3 of the way most of the time.(close neighbors, etc.) Has a different sound than my SFVC and Champ 600. Compliments them nicely. Seems well built and don't really have any intent to mod it.

Congrats. Those are nice little amps.

Those are good amps.
I got a Gibson Goldtone Les Paul Jr. Amp for Xmas. It's a great little 5-watt amplifier.
I tried the Epi, the Champ 600 and the Gretsch 5-watt amp. They're all good class-A amps.
Have fun!

My son got one, and now that he has one, I should have gotten one instead of the amp I have. That thing is super loud, has an awesome tone.

I don't know how similar the circuit is, but I have the Valve Special (5 watt, 1 EL84, 2 12AX7s, 10" speaker) and I REALLY like it.
It's definitely my rehearsal amp.
I put a treble booster in front of it, and I get a lot of articulation and very satisfying dirt.
It sounds totally amazing with my 2 pickup Dano.

I've got a VJ combo and it sounded really good from the get go, but after a few modifications, it sounds amazing.
