Seems really nice. For just 300$ more (40%) , you could get the 12 watt Princeton Reverb...but maybe 5 watts is all one needs lots of the time. 5 watts may sound better cranked than 12 watts at 4.

Yeah this is strictly a bedroom amp....the Princeton is slight overkill.

For the vast majority of guitar players at home 5 watts is PLENTY!

Stupid me had a original silverface Vibrochamp, sold it because the speaker was open. I have no idea why i sold it, maybe just because it was collecting dust.

This one not here yet...usually takes about a year for some guitar stuff to appear...but others like the NUX mg-30 for example was here before the shops in the West. Hopefully there won't be too much of a premium over US pricing. I mean I have a perfectly good practice setup with a little Mooer amp and a Valeton Multi-function pedal....but there's nothing like a small tube amp with tube driven tremolo...
