  This amp is easily one of the best on the market today. I bought it on Black Friday and haven't looked back. I originally tried it with a Strat off the shelf and thought it was the worst amp on the market. The i brought in my own and gave it a second chance. It was one of the best sounding amps I've ever heard. The Brit/AC/USA switch works wonders, allowing you to get an amazing number of tones with the help of the hot/clean switch and the Deep/tight and Bright/Normal switches. if you let the tubes warm up for 15 minutes you will be in heaven. The cleans on this amp are crystal clear and you can even go into some metal territory. The only setback for this amp is its lack of on-board reverb. But from what i hear egnater's reverb isn't all that good anyway. I would give this amp 6 stars rergardless of its lack of reverb.

  Being a teenager, I had to save for months to buy this thing. Every trip to Guitar Center on the weekends gave me the desire to save my money like a fiend! Definitely worth it 100%, not overpriced at all! If anything it's underpriced for it's quality! The day I bought it I went straight from Guitar Center to band practice, and right out of the box it was great! I've received many compliments on it's sound, and it's looks! It went through about a week of breakin' in, but it's golden from there on out! Very easy to find a usable tone with a little "Tweaking,". The "Clean - Hot" gain toggle switch takes it from a funky, clean chording tone to an AC/DC sound on the "Clean" and the "Hot" mode has plenty of gain for anything but heavy metal. The "Deep" and "Tight" are great for a deep low end, or a tighter sound if you've got the gain maxed. The bright sound helps your Les Paul's humbuggies sound more like a strat like tone. The "Brit", "AC" and "USA" are breally nice touches, if not the star of the show on the panel. Basically, Marshall, Vox, or Fender, you already know this. The master's got a "Modern", "Vintage" switch blah blah blah... Seriously though, it's a nice amp! It's got an effects loop, and can power a cabinet, although the whole back panel is upside down, a small annoyance, but still a good thing to at least have; most amps this price range don't even have an effects loop! Definitely worth it!

  Went into GC with the intent to purchase a used NOS blues jr. that I could mod and play around with. I noticed the tweaker and wanted to give it a whirl (based on other reviews I'd read). Played in store and I was able to get some convincing fender and vox tones, but nothing spot on. I really liked the advertised versatility and decided to take advantage of the 30 day return policy. Once I got this thing I home, I began to realize just how overrated it is. I A/B'd with my JCM 800 and Fender TR...not good. Regardless of how much "tweaking" I did, I could not get this thing to sound good. It never came close to getting that Marshall growl or the Fender sparkling cleans. It certainly has a sound of its own, but in the Tweaker's case, that is not a good thing. I really tried to like this amp, but after 2 weeks of agony, I decided to take this thing back and follow through with my original plans. Glad I did. Blues Jr. certainly has its flaws, but it loves pedals, has great tone, and the mods really help. I dont understand the great reviews the Tweaker gets. It takes pedals horribly and is extremely difficult to dial in a usable ton. It will be awhile before I plug into a chinese tube egnator again.
