Sound Pure's Take

This is one slick little 5 watt amp!  Master volume and gain volume to dial in the amount of dirt you need.  Pretty darn loud for 5 watts and since Bad Cat only uses the best componenets for their amps, you are definitely getting quality tone from this little package.  Great for studio use or practice.  Stick a mic in front of it on stage and have a bad ass gritty low watt guitar tone on stage!
