I'll admit, I'm tempted. It surely cant be any worse than the noise that comes off my Vox.

Yeah there was somebody a while ago that was enquiring about these.
The construction and layout has me almost 100% convinced that it's a rebranded Hartke Piggy Back.
My brother owns one (the Hartke) and i'd say it's definitely worth the 250 bucks he spent on it.
It's supposed to be a hybrid with a lonely 12ax7 in the preamp but I think it only gets kicked into the circuit when using the 'crunch' mode.
At that price, it's pretty decent, so long as you keep your expectations on the low side.

£189 for a steaming Chinese shit heap! There are better ways to spend £189. 189 scratch cards. A single Big Issue. Enough ball point pens to last the rest of your life. A good secondhand guitar amplifier! 235.69 Euros. A set of 3 decorative Samurai swords. Magic beans. A laserdisc player. An actual white horse. 9450 2 pence pieces and sell them as copper scrap. A coffee and a sandwich at a motorway services. Some street art. Parking offenses.
Really? What kind of Vox do you have? I rather like the AC15 and AC30 tones.louis wrote:It surely cant be any worse than the noise that comes off my Vox.
Personally I think the amp is more important than the guitar in the sound equation. I would save my coins or sell some gear rather than compromise. The Fender reissues sound quite good IMO, or even something like an Orange Tiny Terror could be cool.
