If you looking for an amp for quiet practice or live in a apartment then this thing may be tricky to handle. This is extremely loud for its description, forcing me to literally cut the power to 0.1 watt for decent practice levels, sounds very sweet though, built really well and I actually don't mind cutting down its power as the tone characteristics are retained. It was sort of a desire to always own a Marshall Amp and I chose this one for my first, I paired it with a Marshall MX 1x12 cab to be blown to valve paradise. Very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend this to any kind of a player. Hardly many options in terms of valve amplifiers in this country to begin with, the prices are yet another story.
