Any thoughts on this amp? Right now their on sale for $300 at Guitar Center. Great deal or what? I know this is a Satch endorsed amp, so I assume that's the tone they're going for? Heavy metal tone?

Thanks

I'm quite curious about this now as well. I've been looking at low watt tube amps for a while now and have never even heard of this, but the reviews look great. The fact that it looks to be a high-gain amp probably means there is next to nothing as far as clean head-room, so the probably disqualifies it for me... but I'd still like to hear more.

I've thought about picking one of these amps up for a while, but I can't get past the fact that it has an 8" speaker. I prefer a 12", but could live with a 10". You get down to 8" and you get a little bit of volume behind them and they can't keep up. At least this has been my experience.
