Style

I like the look of this. I've never been a fan of the appearance of the retro-styled smaller guitars amplifiers such as those from Epiphone, Gretsch or Harley Benton, but I looked twice at the style of this amp. For once, there's a retro-style amp I wouldn't mind standing next to on stage.

Volume

So it's a small amp but it's not that quiet. Face it, 15W is too loud for turning up full at home, but looking closer and it has a pentode to triode option reducing the output to 5W. That's still loud at full volume, but getting closer to suitable levels for home.

Introduction

This is more expensive than the Kustom Defender 5W, but offers a few features that may make it more worthwhile, depending on what your looking for. It's still a low power amp and has piqued my interest by being licensed by THD Electronics.

Introduction

I'm a fan of small, low-power guitar amplifiers for nailing the tone you want at the volume that your neighbours will condone. I know a lot of people give the cheaper models a hard time, expecting top-end boutique tone out of a cheap Epiphone valve junior hot rod. Well that's not going to happen.
