It does everything from cleans to high gain and it has that orange sound that I've always wanted. Needs to have an overdrive in front of it for high gain tones though. Love it for bring able to get great tube tones at bedroom practice volumes.

Exceptional tube amp for the price point. I have both this and the 20 amp hybrid micro dark terror and the dark terror sounds much better. 7 W setting helps for home practice.Tons of gain as it’s designed for and sounds best for metal with shape at 12-2 o’clock and gain from 1-3 o’clock IMO. Also when used with an OD pedal it tightens up the tone a bit but not required. The beast is pretty noisy so I recommend using a noise gate in the preamp chain as well.Running it through my 2x12 120W orange PPC w/ 60 W Celestion V30s. It’s pretty loud especially for a 15W amp!

名前からしてダークなイメージでお手本動画を検索してもヘビーな音作りばかり個人的にそんな使い方じゃないぞと・・・・購入してみた。確かによく歪む、歪みすぎるダークだ!!ゲインのつまみを控えめにすれば・・・ロックな音も作れるじゃん!!思っていた通りですね。使い方ですね。クランチのザラッとした感じがオレンジ独特のいい感じ、トランジスターとは、別世界。キャビネットで音が相当変化するのでキャビ選びも重要ですよ。15Wとは思えないほど出力は、あります。持ち運びも楽だしギター弾く人なら一台あっても良いかもね。と感じる良いヘッドです。

Size really doesnt mean anything unless you're actually out to deafen yourself or you are playing for thousands and have earplugs in. This thing has no issues tearing up any space I've gone.I bought it for studio use and and in love with the flexibility it offers. You can create a beautiful clean rich tone or nasty BM tones no problem. I actually prefer the tone knob to an on amp EQ since I use so many EQ options in my chain. This keeps it simple and does the job perfectly.

Great sound and very versatile. Many tones not just a head banger. Delivered on time and as described, no surprises. Setting proudly between my DSL Marshall and my Mesa.
