Eighteen tube-generated Class A/B watts for serious sustain even at low volume. A pair of EL84s and a 5U4 rectifier tube are the guts of this hi-gain, channel-switching combo. From the darker tones of a vintage Plexi to the compressed sweetness of an AC30, this amp covers all the tonal bases.

The Superdrive features speaker cable wiring by Monster Cable. Monster Cable uses Time Correct Windings and advanced cable construction to deliver an accurate signal with deeper bass and wider dynamic range in high performance sound reinforcement applications. Budda has never sounded better.

Amazingly versatile Great value

I've been playing for over 20 years. Played thru lots of different rigs and this amp blows me and everyone who hears it away. It will get "very near" fender Clean to Brit crunch to "very near" mesa recto. If you really must have Fender clean, or Mesa recto tone - go get one, but it will obviously cost you alot more than buying this one amp. Bottom line amazing tonal pallette. I do miss reverb in live situation but throw in a pedal and problem solved. Yes, this amp can play at bedroom frendly volume or shake the walls and foundation. It does cut thru the mix as my band mates will attest. Like it says these are 18 Budda watts and they are an mazingly loud 18 watts. This is very small club friendly amp, mics well live or in studio and is pedal friendly. My only negative is that the knobs can be slippery as some of the functions can only be accessed via push/pull. Footswitch only changes channels but good luck finding an 15- 18W multi channel amp that can come close to competing with this. I have the combo version, and yes it is a little dark, but I slap a 1x12 celestion open back extension and this mini stack setup will take anything head on. Kudo's to the Budda boys.

Awesome Amp for Home or Gig

The clean channel is beautiful to Santana-ish, the dirty channel does Marshall to Soldano, and this thing is LOUDER than my Soldano HR 50+. A warm amp that can cover most genres. In retrospect, I would have the head instead, so that I could mate it with the cab of my choice. The combo format is ok, somewhat muddy/middy, and can rattle the tubes.

This is an awesome amp. The first thing I noticed is that it is realtively light weight for it's size which is great for loading in and out. The tones it can achieve are amazing and the sustain is endless.

Great amp

The tone of this amp is amazing. It will go from Fender clean to Marshall crunch and everything in between. For 18 watts it will get very loud but you can still get great tone out of it at lower volumes.

The absolute best amp...

This has to be one of the best amps I've ever played. Don't be fooled by the 18W, this amp is loud! It effortlessly goes from creamy responsive tone to flat out, cranked-up rock. If you gig with this amp, you will definitely be heard at the back of the club. Like a mini marshall stack.
