i know nothing about this amp. someone tell me about it.

15 watts of tube 299.99 sounds like a good deal
it also has a switch to cut it down to 7w.

IS THIS AMP GOOD OR DOES IT SUCK IT ?

im guessing its kinda like the tiny terror but cheaper and not as awesome looking? otherwise does it sound about the same?

what's wrong with a solid-state rectifier? some, myself included, prefer them.

I'd be amazed if they weren't EL84s - the topology suggests a Bassman circuit, though.

i want to hear it up against a tiny terror. more eq options excites the hell out of me.

why would you expect reverb from this?

They're along the same lines as the Epiphone Valve Jnrs, cheaply made tube heads, don't expect nice transformers or whatnot and they'll get flubby and undefined with lots of gain, but it's still a nice way to get a valve amp.

Don't expect that EQ to be responsive.
