That's the beauty first it's only 18watts . Second it has a switch to make it 9watts . At 9watts dimed it's like my 50 watt on 1-1.5 . It sounds great on al settings,imo I had to give it back today . It Hurts . I fell in love with this little amp. i HAVE TO START SELLING A BUNCH OF PEDALS FOR THE PAK FUND.
