AV-SP1-6 Special 6 Valve : Good lil box

13 years ago

Fantastic sounding lil combo! Tubes are awesome! no headphone socket or treble/mid/bass controls instead its just got 1 tone knob that goes thru the spectrum. Nice sounding amp!

My big problem is that the switch has broken to the high output/standby position so cannot access low power, its been treated very well it just halfway thru a play decided to get stuck and i cant fix it without voiding warranty! Other than that its good

Overall it has fantastic sound (the quack i get with my strat in positions 2 + 4 really bring out something in this amp! I love to get it hot and then hear the break up of the tubes a nice creamy sizzling sound is awesome for blues!

Even better is stick a lil o/d pedal infront of it (overdrive NOT distortion/metal) and it really drives it to new sounds!!! I have yet to try a fuzz pedal but i can imagine it'd sound good! Overall tho i am very happy and cannot complain! Its loud enough on High power mode to do a (Small) gig (without a loud bonzo like drummer!) and even if it was struggling there are outputs on the back for hooking it up to speakers so i am sure if push came to shove itd do the business! It isnt the best for heavy stuff i find metal causes the lil speaker to not give the sound i personally am looking for! But then again thats why i want a peavey bandit! So in conclusion its defiantly worth a buy you get great bang for your buck, although i would recommend testing Bugera models of equal size and power to hear the difference and then know your personal taste!
