First of all I think it looks pretty Retro cool and like its looks, fits well in my living room or office. I turned it on and snap unlike a tube amp she's ON ready to go. I plugged my nice Les Paul in and I noticed at low to mid volume it has a clear and sweet tone ...lending itself to a sweet jazz like sound with a lot of clarity and the tone controls were very responsive to slight adjustment so you can really dial in a nice lower volume varied jazz tones...( well done ). I would think its nice for recordings...its pretty quiet too, and then I cranked it up all the way up full on...and it gets pretty darn loud and sounds like you have a classic 70's fuzzbox in line...think in the godavida fuzz...back off the volume and mess with the tone adjustments and you can get a nice gain / distortion sound...( great gain tones for Harp in his range just dial it in to your liking ) so low volume is sweet and loud is nasty and in your face.

My take is its EZ on the eyes and is pretty darn good for under $200 practice and low volume or distortion recording. The 8" speaker..I removed the back and checked it out..its a 4ohm ... and I noticed it has more room for possibly a swap for a 10" speaker if one wanted to do that. Anyway she's a great little amp capable of some very nice tones to be "dialed in"...just for fun I ran a mic in and cranked it up and played harmonica thew this little amp and it freaked everyone out...its also a great harp amp!...who new?
