Detail 01
5 watts, tube
Power-amp distortion arrives at conversational volume. That is the point, but it also caps how loud clean stays.

Independent shopping perspective
5-watt tube combo aimed at players who want cranked valve tone at room volume, with a clean and drive channel and onboard reverb.


Strong match

What matters in use
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01
Power-amp distortion arrives at conversational volume. That is the point, but it also caps how loud clean stays.
Detail 02
A full-size speaker in a low-wattage amp, so the low end stays present rather than boxy.
Detail 03
The drive channel's separate gain and volume let you set distortion amount and output level independently.
Detail 04
The EQ and reverb sit after both channels, so tone settings carry across clean and drive rather than per channel.
Detail 05
One-hand carry. Easy to bring to a session or a rehearsal without a cart.
Detail 06
Wider than it is deep. Fits on a chair or small stand, but check trunk space before you commit.

Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
In a small room or with a mic in the PA, yes. Against an unamplified drummer with no PA support, no.
The clean channel has its own gain control, but a 5-watt tube amp starts breaking up early. Clean headroom is limited at volume.
Yes, reverb is in the master section along with global EQ and a tone control, so it applies to both channels.
Yes, into the front of the clean channel. Just know that headroom runs out sooner than on a larger amp.
