I like the amp a lot, because it sounds like what I'm used to, no surprises, just that nice tone. - Denny Freeman / 5F6-A

Hands down this is the best sounding champ I have had next to my vintage tweed champ. This thing gives me the sound I have been looking for. - Brian Purdy / Mosaic 5F1 Standard harp amp

My new amp is an ass kicker. I played with my band on saturday, I needed no other volume, just the amp, and the tone was the best harp tone I have ever heard. I have always been a guitar player, but now I am a harp player. The amp gave me tone that inspired my playing, my bandmates couldn't believe it. I will never use any other amp for harp, and from me, an amp freak, that is a statement. - Fred Ginn / Mosaic 5F1 Standard harp amp.

I've had this amp for 2 months now. In that time I have tried just about all possible tube combinations...I'm still on the honeymoon with it. Currently, I'm running 6V6's with a GZ34 rectifier and 2 12AT7's....Notes just explode out of this thing...Normally I'm a tele guy but I've never heard my Strat sound so good. When you "dig" into the strings, the amp "gives"... when you back off it "lets go"...the more you dig the more it gives...very responsive to pick attack...its just an absolute joy to play....who needs pedals?...and the build quality is as good as any amp I've ever seen.......Your attention to detail and response to customer needs is without equal....keep up the great work - Rob Jackson / 25 Watt Cortez

One of its best features is that it amplifies your playing dynamics, so that your guitar becomes really responsive to your string attack. With the volume set to the edge of its breakup point (about 6 or so with single coils), a soft touch gives clean, harmonically rich, balanced chords, a harder attack puts some grit on the lower notes, and a really hard attack gives sweet, overdriven crunch with some compression, so that single notes are thick, juicy and dirty. The better your control over playing dynamics, the better it responds. Changing the guitar volume or tone knobs by just one number makes a noticeable difference too. - Al Zwettler / 12" Mosaic
