The Korena take

Gremlin is a 5-watt all-tube guitar amp head built around two distinct inputs: Rhythm for blackface-style character with bell-like highs and increased headroom, or Lead for a tweed-style voice. Its built-in Ironman II attenuator lets you pursue maxed power-tube saturation at a more comfortable volume. The simple control layout keeps the two-channel approach direct, and a standard A/B/Y footswitch can put both channels on demand. Inside are two 12AX7 preamp tubes and one 5881 power tube.
