Overall a great little recording amp. Not loud enough to gig with, unless it is a small club or bar. I guess you could mic it, but there are better amps to gig with than this one. If I ever lost this amp or some idiot decided to steal it, I would probably just try to find another amp to replace it.

This is an all tube amp from the 60's. It has two channels, one is clean and the other one has reverb and tremolo features. It has a footswitch to turn on and off both of these features. Other than that the features are pretty lacking, but what do you expect for somthing this old. The one thing I don't like is the inability to switch between the channels. Also, the main channel does not have any EQ controls besides tone. The reverb/tremolo allows you to change the EQ a little bit more. It still gets a 3 because it has a few features.
Sound it great, altough it is a little quiet, but the clean tones sparkle. I tried several types of tubes out and each tube gives it a different characteristic. The tremolo is incredible and the reverb is very thick. Distorted sounds are ok, but I only use it for clean sounds.
Easy to use. Several knobs for each channel and a footswitch to turn on and off the tremolo and reverb.
I would never use it for a gig for several reasons. The first being that it isn't loud enough for me and second I wouldn't want it to get ruined. The amp seems durable besides the problems I have had with it already.
