I purchased this amp thinking a twin 6v6, 13 watt amp with a 15" speaker, had potential. If not, it would be a great guitar amp for my son.
I has: tremelo on/off and speed, volume, bright/dark switch and three inputs. Guitar (1 meg), mic (200K) and an accordion (50K0. The preamp tubes are 12AX7a, with a solid state rectifier.
I had the best results plugging into the guitar jack (obviously), dark switch on using CM mics. I have several versions and all worked about the same. Crystals were too bright, and the ceramic didn't give me enough volume before feeding back.
I also used a graphic equalizer or a Lone Wolf "tone" box. Without one of these I couldn't take advantage of the great 15" speaker bottom end.
So far I like it. Its pretty dirty once over driven, but with access to "tone" it has a cool bottom end. Since I'm using it in my house, I can't really say how loud it will get, but I doubt it would be loud enough for a jam. Because of its size and weight, I'd put it in the Blues Jr catagory. In fact, I'd much rather have this than the Blues Jr.
I'm interested to see how it will sound with a guitar.
