TUBE5 Celestion : top tube amp

I was very surprised by the beautifull sound and how loud it gets. Together with some amp-in-a-box like pedals for example, you can have all the classic amps in one cheap amp for home recording and practicing. 5watt is loud, the 1 watt knob is therefore very good. In comparison to a Katana I tried once : a real tube amp like this is much, much more fun to play. The sound goes deep.

Goes really wel with reverb, overdrive, phaser, ....also fuzz, but...

One downside, thats why I returned it : it has no real gain knob. The volume knob functions for gain also, but its not a great reach. For most People this is no problem because that's why they invented boost and overdrive pedals. But for my fuzzes, I prefer to have a gain knob to dial in the overdriven sound as much as I need . Such a pitty I have to send such a good amp back!

I' ll try the Marshall dsl1.
