Hello TB'ers

Been looking at these amps for a practice amp at home, so far I like the way they sound from youtube demos, anyone own one of these or have played through one? any thoughts opinions would be great.

Had the early 150w one, was fine for a practice amp, swapped a spare Eminence Delpta 12lf into it and it got to small giggable, the dude from the Hinkley Veltones uses it now.

I played one in the shop a bunch of years back (maybe 5 or 6 years ago?). I remember it sounding very good, but that I preferred the SWR Workingman's 12 by a good margin, at the time. For a home amp it should do quite nicely, though.

I've got the 15" model - it's more than adequate for practice - in fact it was my gigging amp (which was normally paired with an Ashdown Mag 210T 8 ohm cabinet).
