There is not a thread about this amp and there should be.
Here is some pertinent info and some small reviews in these threads:

Premier guitar review:

In July 2012 they were being blown out for $190 shipped and I did not jump on it. That was a mistake. I recently stumbled on a used one and pounced.

Not going to ramble on, but this is the best value in the micro amp market, hands down. Very transparent, It can do Hi-Fi to vintage warm and this thing has got to be more than the 500 its rated at. KXB500 is a no brainer.

I wish I had snagged one when they were blown out for $200 at Music123, etc.

Even at the going price of 375, It's still a steal. I had a hard time getting over the fact that I coulda got it brand new for $200. If you are in the market for a micro amp, this thing is not to be overlooked.

What a value! Got mine at the blowout price last summer. These puppies rock. Lots of connection options. Transparent and ballsy. Small form factor and easy control layout. I use mine to drive a Kustom 115DE cab and it utterly shakes the house on moderate volume. Nice warranty too.
