Tonal profile

10W solid-state 1x6.5 bedroom practice combo using Peavey's TransTube preamp circuitry, with gain and volume, a three-band EQ, a headphone output and an aux input for playing along. Small-speaker voice: light on bass, forward and slightly nasal in the mids, with a fizzy but recognisably amp-like grind when the gain is up. A learner's first amp rather than anything you would record or gig.
