Raved about by Gerald Weber (Hip vintage Guitar Amps) and featured as the #1 in the top 10 all-time great amps in the Tube Amp Book and for good reason. A single-ended, class A 50's Tweed amp with a tone unmatched by any modern amp I've ever heard.  At 3 there's that soft luscious tube compression, but at 12 it's all ZZ Top and Jeff Beck rolled into a big fat mother of tone.  

On the mundane side, everyone wants a lightweight amp with a small footprint that they can take to a gig then onto the recording studio.
