As far as cabs, in the pic above it is plugged into a DB112. I've also plugged it into my Tri110L. It sounds cool with either. Obviously you could go with a smaller cab than either of those.

Realistically, it's pretty much a practice set up, or perhaps would work for a low-volume, drummer-less jam. But it sounds cool as long as you don't expect (or try to make it deliver) too much volume.

The 22 Caliber is designed more for guitar, I think, and can get respectably loud in that application.

Anyway, kind of a novelty, but fun and pretty cheap.

It would work great for this, I think. I've plugged various overdrive pedals into it and used it for guitar into a little 1x10 cab loaded with a Weber Blue Pup and it sounds cool.

With a DI FOH mod on the VT, this could work in small
gig/bar, jazz/blues/country setting possibly..

does it stay clean at full volume or does it get dirty?

What's up with the 16 ohm label on the output? Not too many 16 ohm bass cabs around...?
Most likely better for guitar, as many guitar cabs are 16 ohm.

It's hard to see in that pic, but it actually says 8-16 ohms. I use it with 8 ohm cabs. It does start to get dirty if you turn it up too loud. Like I mentioned above, it is a low volume thing, at least for use as a bass amp. Gets pretty loud with a guitar.
