This is, apparently, a clone of the Epiphone Valve Jr.
The main difference being this has a knob for EQ.
Since making the video I have found that the EQ control does not operate as a standard tone control. It would appear that if you start with the kbob fully anti-clockwise you have bass with top. As you progrees towards 12 o'clock it seems to add treble, losing some of the bass. Fully clockwise and it would appear to bring back up the bass but this time with more mid.
Reading reviews of the Epiphone it seems that versions 1 & 2
had issues with 'hiss', this is not a problem with the HB.
For £75 and a few pence, delivered to your door (three days from ordering)I think it's pretty good value for money.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUfb5iX-

Wheezer...thanks for that. I was going to get one of these for christmas last year but went with a Fender Champion 600 instead. I'll definetly get one of these this year though. That tone switch sounds great.
Thanks for posting this...hope you don't mind if I stick the video here...Oisin
