Pronounced boom-box, really...1 watt of juicy crunchin' powah, I sooo want this amp for bedroom recording. Apparently sold out until a new batch comes out of Toledo, Ohio sometime this fall...
This amp will deliver classic Marshall low end crackle and midrange crunch without taking the paint off the walls. At only 1w max, the Lead 1 delivers all tube response without the need of an attenuator or other load device. That means you aren't wasting signal to get that cranked sound in your apartment or bedroom. The Lead 1 pushes a 4x12 effortlessly, so you won't need to buy a new cab to use with it. The Lead 1 performs best at conversational volumes even though there is more volume on tap.

That sounds really really great. 1 watt makes much more sense as a power rating for these things. 5 or 7 watts is very very loud still.
That sounded very Marshall esque in the 2nd and 3rd sample, fuzzing up a little like oldschool Marshalls do at full tilt. You'll have to make us some samples, the tweaker in me is hot for teacher about the fact it has a 3 band EQ. Nurse!
