I'd like to hear one, the price is good even if you had to change a speaker , seems like it would be a good grab and go practice / small gig amp, if it has enough clean headroom.

 

I got mine last week and left it stock. I'll probably swap the speaker with a Kustom/Eminence KEI Turbo 12. Maybe I'll replace the power tubes. But they are Rubys. So they aren't bad. This is a really versatile amp. The reverb even sounds decent. I love this thing.

 

I found one review:

 

I have one on order.

Has anyone given one a good work over? Any idea regarding B+? At 15 watts, it should not be pushing the power tubes too hard.

Any suggestions on tube tweaks or speaker changes? I've got an Eminence Legend 122 alnico that I'll probably be sticking in it. Curious to see what experiences others have had.

 

Is that Tom Green on the right?

 

That demo didn't sound too good to me, especially the reverb! I hope those amps sound better in person than that!

 

Mine came in two days ago. The Ruby EL84 power tubes were dead on arrival. Fortunately, the Ruby tubes give you their plate current and transconductance values. I had several sets of Ei EL84s that were of similar values, so I dropped them in. Problem solved.

The stock Shuguang 12AX7A pre-amp tubes are surprisingly good: no hiss, no white noise, no buzzing or humming. I found that sticking a GE5751 in the V3 phase inverter helped add presence and detail. I am pretty happy with the tones I am getting. With this tube array.

The Celestion 70/80 sounds pretty good in there. I also tried an Eminence Legend 122 alnico, an Avatar SA40 alnico, a Celestion G12M-25 Greenback and a few others. I also used it as a head and ran it off an open back Avatar G212 cab loaded with an Eminence Red Fang and a Jensen C12N and pine TRM cabs 2 X 12 that is loaded with a Celestion G12 blue alnico and a G12M-25 Greenback. After lots of experimenting, I stuck with the Greenback. All speakers/cabs were 8 ohms.

This little thing sounds pretty good. The D.O.A. power tubes are disappointing, but decent tubes and a good speaker turn this low budget amp into a very respectable tone monster.

 

Call them and tell them to send a new set. Their CS is good. I bought the 5 watt and a few days later they offered $20 off any item over $100, i called and asked for the discount and they gave it to me.

 

I've had mine for about a week. It's not a half bad sounding little amp, particularly since I got mine for a bit under $200. It actually sounds great running in tandem with my AC15. They compliment eachother nicely.

 

Check your privacy settings, it's coming up with "This Video Is Private."

 

Nice-sounding amp.

 

No Customer Service

I sent them an e-mail asking for just that. They never responded, so I am a little disappointed with the poor customer service.
