TINY 1/2 watt tube head...this is crazy.

Actually sounds pretty dang good!

Not sure but how does it compare to a Firefly amp that you could build for around 100 bucks. Ted Webber has a power supply transformer for 12 bucks and an output transformer for 8 bucks you can buy the blank PCB for 20 bucks. With the Firefly amp being simple tube circuits. The Nano amp must have a 200 volt switching power supply in that little box so DIY repair is not going to be easy.

I've ordered from John before and he ships fast.

A few Fretters have built FireFly amps:

through a 4x12 that sound has some serious muscle.

They are very cool little amps. If they were only less expensive I'd get one in a heartbeat!

I agree. That's a bit on the pricey side when you still need a cab to get any tone out of it.

I remember the days when the bigger something was the more it cost.

1) Sounds great through the 4x12 cab!!

2) $500??? You gotta be kidding me.

3) Why would you put an internal speaker in this? Sounds like a bad transistor radio.

They really sound good(not the internal speaker)those little tubes are tough,I'll bet you could smack 'em with a hammer and they wouldn't break.There is another small amph out there that uses a 12ax7 instead of these little aircraft tubes,but I haven't tried one and the cost is much lower.Sumi
