Hybrid amp with a tube preamp and a solid state power section

It might be good for clean tones, but the driven tones sound a bit too brittle/solid-state for my tastes.

Ill never play a solid state unless I must

BUT, compared to a buddy's Roland and solid state Ampeg, it's downright mellow

Solid state amps usually lack in 2 areas; lack of a "valve-like" response in the output stage, and lack of bottom end at high volume

It has solid state power amp, so you can use it with headphone or connect it to a mixer

This amp is a hybrid -- you have a tube preamp and a solid state power amp -- it's why they are able to make it so small.

The unit pumps 20 watts, with one 12AX7 tube in the preamp and a solid-state power amp.

It might be good for clean tones, but the driven tones sound a bit too brittle/solid-state for my tastes.

This amp has a preamp tube, but it is strictly a solid state sound.

Still, compared to my two-tube BH5H or my all tube Champ, this guy does sound more solid state than anything.

distorted as you go.
