great for the size

in a dense mix this thing is really great, it doesnt have a low of deep low end so performs a lot cleaner and cuts through well, but in something more sparse it doesnt hold up so great, gets a bit on the thin side

Wilko can be seen on several YouTube videos doing personal appearances with the compact ZT Lunchbox amp. It also features in the Julian Temple documentary the Ecstasy of Wilko Johnson. I assume he uses it for practice and informal appearances but not gigs or recording.
