• It Sounds Better Than "The Sound in Your Head"

  
  As reviewed by Peter on 5/19/2009

  I was looking for an amp that sounded good at a low volume but would also keep up with a drum kit. I considered a Fender Blues Jr. but am happy that I found this through a friend. It sounds really good at very low volumes and gets louder than any "hobbyist" will ever need. The gain is really sensitive and produces great semi distorted tones and full on overdrive is as dirty as you can get. The ISF feature is really cool and I'm finding a lot of interesting different sounds using my Gibson '61 reissue. The clean channel is also really crisp and I think this amp's only lacking feature is a revereb option. BUY this amp, I would have paid twice as much for it.

  I tried this amp out at a local guitar center on the advice of the store manager, I was looking for a british amp that could be played at low volume and still scream like a DSL 100. When I first saw this amp I thought it was merely a toy but once I flipped it on my jaw dropped to the floor. The cleans on this amp are incredible, I was completely blown away. That's just where the amazment just started, once I flipped over to the distortion channel I couldn't believe my ears! This amp sounds better than a DSL, its got that sceaming overdrive but still manages to keep the notes very clean. I still can't believe how much pure tube tone you can get out of such a small package!

  I highly recommend the HT-5 head. It's feature packed, with two footswitchable channels, an effects loop, and a great gain shaping feature. You can dial in a good Marshall style gain or US high gain, or anything in between. They even included the footswitch, something I wish other companies would do. The amp has decent cleans, not quite Fender-ish. For bedroom/practice volume, the 1x10 speaker does well. It doesn't take alot of volume before it breaks up, but I've heard similar results with other small amps. If your intentions are to gig with this amp, I'd recommend a larger speaker cab. A 2X12 or 4x12 would really open up the headroom.
