i've never tried it, but judging by the few tube amps i have tried from epiphone, it could be a great deal. all of their smaller valve practice amps are great....check out all of the mentions about them on these forums!

What type of tone is it? I see it uses EL34s...I'm assuming it's in Marshall territory, more or less. Any idea how the cleans are, and how 'fizzy' it is? The latter seems to be a common problem with cheap tube amps.

The amp sounded awesome at the store, But it was sitting on top of a marshall cab. ( Speakers make a major difference. ) Nice even tone and an awesome volume. ( I didn't like the highs, But I was also playing a fairly cheaper guitar. )
