"It's got its work cut out for us as far as keeping up as far s keeping up with the other amps, volume wise. With the settings, everything is cranked. It's begging for mercy in trying to keep up with the other one. It's a great sounding amp, though."

"Just finished putting my 'lil rig together. Two 20 watt Marshall Amplification 2061Xs with custom 2x10 Swanson cabs loaded with Celestion Speakers Alnico Golds. Killer sounding set-up for small stages."

A great amplifier.

I love my vibro king, but have been wanting to build a small and large Hendrix rig. I chose this amp for the small rig. I join the two channels. I run the volumes around 2-4 for home practice and 4-6 out. It's a loud 20 watts. I run it into a 2-12 with either Cessation vintage 30s or G12ms. It's not as warm as the fender sound and I'd like to use and A/B box to run both. But, this amp is great for emulating Hendrix. It's a small very portable amp head. I run in pretty clean, but warm and toasty. I use either an Hendrix 70th Fuzz or a J. Rockett Archer to get the dirt. This amp is a great pedal platform. It really doesn't have any negatives. It's simple but it works.

if you can keep an 18 or 20 watter pretty clean and still hear yourself over a drummer through a 2x12 then god bless you! not that I am criticizing these circuits, big fan actually

total beast

these amps are great, old or new.... basically a diode rectified 18 watt without tremelo. There's a lead and a bass channel each with a single guitar-style tone control that's best left close to wide open. They're punchier then an 18 and they actually have a clean sound that can compete with an old deluxe reverb volume-wise. More true midrange then a plexi when recorded through a quad box fulla celestions. Very marhsally, less vox flavor then the 18. It would be hard to choose between these 2 similar circuits but this is overall more of a rhythm amp that can hang with a drummer whereas the 18 watt is all about full bore lead riffage.
