Got one of these to match my Reverned Charger 290!
And what a crazy little amp it is. It's incredibly light and small, and it has a Jensen Neo speaker in it which cuts down on the weight even more. I'd say it's roughly the size of a Pro Junior, but a little taller. It probably only weighs about 20 lbs. The shocking this is how powerful the amp sounds though, especially in the low end. You'd almost think it's a joke hearing the massive sound and seeing the little amp.
It's a shame they stopped making these amps. They offer some pretty cool features.
5/15 watts switchable
2 6V6 power tube section, 4 12AX7
tube driven reverb
effects loop, ext speaker outs
The craziest feature is the "Shizo" switch though. It gives it 3 different voicings:
- US - Transparent midrange with strong bass and treble for classic American clean and light overdrive.
- LO-FI - Softer treble and stronger midrange, for a bluesy grind reminiscent of vintage off-brand American amps.
- UK - Even more gain with a distinctly British upper-mid peak for classic blues-rock and hard-rock crunch.
And the thing is they actually DO sound just like that.
I have no photos but I will post one from the web. I just thought I'd post some info in case any of you are on small amp hunts all the time like me. They are pretty affordable too.
