Great amp for lovers of tube amp tone (Perfect Amp for quiet stage)

Over the years I have had a variety of different tube amps, Egnater Renegade, Fender Blues Junior, Marshall Artist head, Orange Rocker 32 & Vox AC15. I love the way a guitar sounds through a tube amp and I was a little hesitant at first to buy this amp because of that bias. I watched a lot of different Youtube videos of the amp with different people (Rick Bohlinger w Premier Guitar, Fender’s videos, Brett Kingman, Rhett Schull & Shane w/ In the Blues. After watching all of the videos of the amp I had auditory evidence to warrant a purchase of the amp to try it out for myself. I was definitely blown away by the eargasmic experience and am a true convert from tube to digital now, at least for this amp. This amp takes pedals well and can play all styles of music except for metal, due to the original design and purpose of original amp(s) that this amp was modeled after. No more worrying about breaking a tube in transport, a tube going out during show, having to keep a spare set of tubes or THE WEIGHT OF THE HEAVY POWER TRANSFORMERS that make tube amps so dang heavy. Enough venting and back to the awesomeness of this amp. The features of this amp make this the perfect amp for a bedroom, quiet stage, Club or even a Church. You can adjust the overall volume w/ attenuation on back without touching the tone on front and send signal out through XLR out neutral or with one of the 2 cab sims (SM57 or Royer 121). Last but not least you can cut off the speaker for quiet recording or stage with the standby switch. The only thing the amp doesn’t have is a headphone out for quiet practicing but I have read you can put an XLR to 1/4” adapter in direct out and plug in headphones.

Best sounding small Tape Echo

Great sounding tape echo with tape age. There are better sounding tape delays but they are all a lot bigger and take up more pedal board space. Derek Trucks also uses this pedal in the Tedeschi Trucks band.
