Ya it pretty much sucks I totally did not know what I was doing 2 years ago when I bought it all I knew was it was a tube amp and my friends sounded really cool. And today it started to make a squealing noise! But today I read about a new amp out called The Blackheart its made by Boutique Amp builder Pyotr Belov. He went over to China and is making these things. Supposedly he is overseeing the quality control situation since he is putting his name on it. He is working with Crate and has created a new division called Blackheart engineering. The Amp is going to have a Celestion speaker that was designed for the amp. They retail for $300.00 and are 3 and 5 watt switchable. Guitar World just gave them the Platinum Award last Month. So I am checking them out now. It seems to good to be true at this point.
