TUBE15 Celestion : Superb. Buy one!!!

Had this for about a month now, and am delighted with my purchase.

Sound is amazing and compares very favourably with previous big name amps of higher wattage.

I use this mainly for smaller gigs against an electronic drum kit running through a PA and it holds up well, and is surprisingly loud for a rating of 15 watts. Like most valve amps it benefits from using a higher volume and Gain level to drive the valves, and controlling it from the guitar volume pot. So spanky clean to drive in one knob.

I especially like the gain control which runs from very clean to delightful warm break up. Also the "tone" control which allows quick balancing when changing between instruments.

My usual guitars are a USA Strat Plus, and a Takamine Santa Fe and both are handled well by this small amp. Did I mention it is extremely lighweight in comparison to my other equipment, but sound quality definately does not suffer.

As to longevity I can't comment at the moment, but it seems solidly built with all valves well secured, so doesn't seem to mind being thrown into a car boot.

All in I am extremely happy with this amp, with the only downside being the mirrored control panel, which although very attractive, makes it a little diffficult so see your settings in some lighting conditions. In saying this once you have your EQ set, very little adjustment is neccessary during a gig.

A winner!!!
