L'il Dawg Mutt Amp: Anyone here try it?

No answers? No bueno.

Seriously, I guess no one 'here' has this particular Lil Dawg model.

The other problem I'm having right at the moment is I can't get through to the Lil Dawg website. I severely hope this is just a momentary glitch.

FWIW here's my story. I couldn't choose between a 5E3 and a 6G2, but I emailed Jim @ Lil Dawg and we had a detailed, friendly back and forth chat about what I was looking for. He wasn't unwilling to share his ideas, but he also continued to seek my opinions whenever there was a decision -- coupling cap sizes, transformers, etc. etc. I bet he'll even help you decide if this is really the amp for you.

Now, I'm hoping this one reply can jump start more, but I'd also email Jim and share what you're hoping to do. If you don't already know all about 'em, do some extended research on the building blocks (5F1 and 5E3) and talk to Jim about variants and choices. He can then get very detailed as to costs.

If you boil it down to a specific build and sound target, I guarantee you can get speaker advice here if you share your choices: "Looking for a speaker for a (loud/quiet) (home/gig) (gnarly/mellow) tweed along the lines of...." Jim may be a more coherent source of speaker advice, though!!! I guarantee on speakers we'll be all over the map...

 

Website seems ok now.

I don't have an answer because I've never had a lil dawg amp. I have been considering it on and off over the last few years, and Jim is a great guy for taking your questions.

I've read nothing but positive comment on various forums regarding his amps.

Now you've got me thinking again...

 

I only have experience with his 5e3 D-Lux. All I can say is that I would not hesitate to order another amp (any amp) from Jim.

 

Resurrecting this thread because I too am interested in the mutt!
