Nano Legacy Thunder Bass : Much to love about this, but best for overdriven tones.

Until I saw this, I really didn't appreciate just how tiny it is. Even with just 5 watts at it's command it is surprisingly loud through proper bass cabs. Enough for playing with unamplified or slightly amplified acoustic instruments or house jams (say if your guitarist has a Hotone or Blacckstar fly) and ideal as a practice amp.

It claims to be inspired by the Ampeg SVT and the gain up sound on this is pretty growly, it doesn't leave any sonic prisoners although not as smooth an overdrive as real valves IMHO. I can imagine people using this as a preamp for an FRFR powered speaker.

OK, I was using this with a very 'hot' (but not active) bass and it was almost impossible to get a clean sound on the low notes. Not a big issue for me, as I want a valve-like growl with some gain dialled in is what I prefer, but i can see this being an issue for some purchasers.
