Cool sounds at low volume.

I've gotta be quite careful no to piss off my neighbours seeing as they can corner me in the stair well.

Fair enough. Is the LC30 too brutal to sound alright quiet?

VC30.

It sounds alright at low volumes. Just not as nice as the TT.

Amp sounds good.

Players sounds like a wanker.
White man blues and pinch harmonics.

the reason i haet these little amps is that they run at like the same fucking cost as a much more powerful amplifier. $500+ or so for this stuff??? I can get a used fucking laney,5150/6505, or whatever other high-powered 100w+ tube amp for that.

My boss tried the head yesterday and loved it. Said he liked it better than the Tiny Terror :S
Impressive build quality apparently.
Definitely need to try one of these out.

Oooh. This doesn't bode well. If this boiler stuff hadn't happened I would be tempted.

Apparently most of the stock has all sold out in most retailers until January.

It's 5 Watts, it's miles better than the Valve Jnr though. 3-band EQ and mid emphasis control, Overdrive channel (footswitchable), many speaker outs. It's a great package
