Anyone mess with one of these yet? They've been around for a few years but the youtube clips are limited and the reviews are scarce.
It's a 5w 6V6 champ-style amp with an 8" Jensen, TS808 built in, and accutronics spring reverb on board. Seems to me like the perfect grab-and-go amp for going to a friend's place or playing a small gig and getting away without any pedals. Price is high for a 5w amp, but it seems like it's got it where it counts.
Anyone have experience with one?

Jesus. They just straight-up ripped off the aesthetic of Tone King amps. Wow.

Tone King didn't exactly invent the TV face look. In fact, when I first saw a Tone King Falcon, I thought they'd ripped off my Silvertone 1482's look. At the very least, the legs are a cool addition on the Ibanez.

I figured. TK amps with that colour scheme and legs was the first I'd seen though.

Update: played one at GC for a bit yesterday, it delivers on all promised features and sounds surprisingly great. Used a 60s laquer Jag which was super comfy. Thin pickups but great neck. Went home and ordered the amp from Sweetwater, should have it by the end of the week.
