I acquired one of these late April. It hasn’t had the best reviews and sounds better with Teles than other guitars. It is 5 Watts but can be switched to 1 watt. I’ve been using it for practice. It sounds better with pedals, overdrives, fuzzes and boasts.

Unfortynately, it died sometime on Saturday. Light came on but no sound. It is probably a valve and covered by the warranty but it didn’t even make it to 2 months and it hasn’t had that much use.

Probably a power tube . You have to be carefull and not play the guitar till the tubes warm up and dont plug up the guitar or unplug the guitar with the amp on . it will cook them .and turn the volume down when turn off and on. Good luck with it hope you get it fixed are replaced.

Well plugging and and unplugging the guitar into the amp wont make the tubes blow, but just like any amp you dont want to hear that buzz snap boom, sound when jacking in.

You should always turn the volume down regardless of type before powering off.

And with tube amps, dont bang them around when hot after power down, just like a hot lightbulb the inside can break and die

I got the amp back on Monday. It was a tube. I suspect I was unlucky because I always treat my amps with kid gloves and have barely moved it since it arrived. I will have to give it a workout with my latest pedals. The Beetronics Royal Jelly (Overdrive and Fuzz) and Buzxter (boost).
