This prototype amp sounded great and had a nice solid feel. You can cut the power down so the amp will adapt power wise (and volume wise) to each situation. Joe’s amps ROCK!!!

This amp is 2 watts and uses a pair of 12AT7′s in a push-pull arrangement. It is louder than you think (remember these are Bober watts) and sounds great…..has a nice dynamic feel as well.
