Starting a new thread as to not hijack other threads.

I don't have the Contender but have the tube 12 which is similar but 12 watts, no master, no pine box, and has an 8 inch celestion Super 8. I really like the tone it puts out; clean and gain channel. It's as good if not better than many all tube amps in the 5 watt category. The hybrid 12 watts is about equal to a 5 watt all tube amp. Of course, the first thing I did was swap the tube for an old stock. Mine doesn't have a speaker out jack but I'm sure it would kill in an external cab.

Anybody play or buy one of these cool little amps? Seems like a great deal still the more I think about it...
