Ah.
I didn't look into it, just saw 1 watt and thought of Mark

Would probably sound OK thru a decent speaker or cab, but it's still just a micro transistor amp.

There are some micro tube amps that are great though, like the 1/2W Zvex Nano head. Pricey though.

Anyone tried the Carr Mercury?

I haven't, but it's a well spec'd beastie...and pricey. Personally, I'd prefer something other than an EL-34 for an only small tube amp, but Y M M V.

Same here really, but this is only in theory for me as i havn't actually tried it. I find simplicity a plus for me

Of course you would but you are a bit sick like that - why not complete the experience with an ovation? or offering the Lee Tamahore experience (find out what it's like being on the other side for a change - got to be good for you!).
