So, I've had this amp for a while now... sorry for not telling you earlier!

It's a killer amp. It's a Class A amp and it is extremely good sounding and versatile.

It has a clever trick too - it is switchable between 4, 9, 20, 30 and 40 watts. It does this by its VAC feature; how this works is tiny lightbulbs turn on at the back of the amp, and sucks some of the voltage and current meant for the tubes. So on the 4 watt setting, it lights up as a christmas tree back there, and the amp "thinks" it has tiny little tubes, and outputs less volume as result. GENIUS!

Here are a couple of clips so you can hear the amp.
