AV-SP1-6 Special 6 Valve : Great value

First of all, the build quality of this little amp is great. Not just for the money. Its sturdy, the corners are well-protected, the metal mesh protecting the valves and the back of the speaker does its job very well. The handle is durable. I would just prefer the volume pot to have the same feel as the tone pot; it's a little looser, probably due to being push-pull.

As to the sound, the amp does the Blackface and Silverface thing without a hitch, and the low powed mode gives you even more variation (the sound is different than in high power mode, but just as good). The only problem I had with this amp was the fact that you have to crank it to get the best sounds, and then it is too loud to be played in bedroom (unless you have very forgiving neighbours). Still, even at lower volumes it's a great amp, especially combined with subtle overdrive pedals.
