This is a special order, 20 watt, 1x12 combo version. This amp is a dumble clone, although I have never even been near one to comment on that. I bought this amp because it had the best lead sound I have ever heard. The clean channel is good, but not my favorite. I rarely use the clean channel on this amp. I would rate the clean channel as about a 7/10 and the lead channel as a 9.5/10 (nothing's perfect). The clean channel's quality is better than a Mesa's clean and sounds like a cross between a Mesa and Fender. I would say the sound quality on this channel is somewhere around a Vox reissue... doesn't sound like a Vox, but I'm trying to give an idea of the quality of the tone.

The lead channel is where it is at on this thing. It sings like you wouldn't believe. You can get controlable feedback on any note at low volumes! Very cool. The tone is very thick, but articulate. I run a Bad Cat 2-tone in front of it with just the tone boost (not the overdrive channel on the 2 tone) to give it just a touch more treble. I can get a great SRV tone with this amp. The ultimate blues box for me.

This one has (2) 6V6 output tubes. I ordered mine with a custom grill cloth and tolex. Looks cool and if someone will help me, I'll get some pics uploaded.

Questions welcomed.

Here is an idea of the more "tamed" blues tones it can get:

Here is an example of it using humbuckers. If you couldn't tell, the previous clips are using a strat.
