If it doesn't do it for you the first time, it's probably not the right amp.Yea, I tried one out locally. White/cream tolex, so even more my thing, but I couldn't get a really inspiring sound out of it. I doubted myself so I actually went back and tried it again a month later, but still just didn't do it for me. I'm tempted to say I would like it better if I tried it one more time...
The treadplate feels unnecessary but I like it otherwise.
