Well having been sold on an Genz Benz Swarthy Pearl All Rank A Tube amp, I grant entrance to I have been hooked on the vast sound that comes from definite warm tubes.  I was in the harmony store one day and found out that Fender had reissued some of its old amps with a new twist. I dearly have affection for my Black Margarite, but she weighs a bit and is  also a bit much for the bedroom workshop. That being said I was on the lookout for a smaller amp that I could gambol in my small workshop and also easily fetch to small custom/jam sessions. I tried the Super Gnaw XD and found it was exactly what I was looking for.  At a highway price of $299, dwelling it went with me after a experiment drive at the accumulation.

The basic specs on it are:

15 Watts of efficiency thru a Fender 10″ discourser, Tube and Digital Modeling preamps using 12AX7A tubes, pipe power amp  portion using two 6V6 tubs (Rank AB), and on board digital furniture.

The amp has two channels, the first canal tuned to unimpaired like a exquisite clean Fender Swarthy face amp using the 12AX7A pipe for the preamp division and the 6V6’s for the efficiency amp. The second conduit using Fenders Digital Amp Modeling for the preamp (bypassing the 12AX7A pipe) and uses the 6V6 tubes for the ableness amp. The two channels then distribute the same tone controls and personal estate.

I would have to say that for 95% of my playing the first passage hits the blot. It has great traditionary Fender tube sounds, rigorous and clean and jangly.  There is equitable a plain old whirl knob, no increase, just spotless tone. At let down volumes it has that exquisite clean sound, but crank up the convolution and out comes a critical growly hollow cylinder overdrive. Back off your run at at this volume and it cleans up accurate, dig in for the good raw material as needed.

The next to the first channel, with its digital modeling is perfectly fun to play with. The amp models descend into some basic groups: Fender Tweed, Fender Blackface, British (peruse Vox AC30 and Marshall), Fender Hot Rod, Metal, Jazz, and Acoustic. Other then the Jazz and Acoustic which rightful have one setting, the other models have 3 separate spins on each, ranging from unsullied to dirty and in between. This channels input part has a Gain and Contortion so you can vary the twist and grind matter.
