Blackheart Little Giant BH5-112 Guitar Combo Amplifier (5 Watts, 1x12 in.) Price Paid / Price New:$250/$250.  (click for huge) Year Manufactured: 2007 Features: 5 watts single-ended, Class A 4, 8 and 16 ohm speaker outs Solid state rectifier Volume with 3-Band EQ (The Epi Valve Jr. doesn't have an EQ) Pentode (5 Watts)/Triode (3 Watts) Switch 12 in. Blackheart model 1216A by Eminence speaker has an American voicing and is optimized for open back cabinets DC power to filaments for super quiet operation 15-ply (18 mm) thick-void free plywood cabinet construction Approx. 45 lbs. Sound: 5/5. I've played through $1000+ Marshall half stacks and this sounds just as good to me. I live in an apartment so it works really well in a solo practice setting. I took it over to a buddies today to jam and yes, it works fantastically with drums and bass. When I turned it to about 3/4 volume I was heard above everyone else. If your drummer is a metalhead with double bass pedals then it might not cut it but for most everyone's needs this is just great. The 3/5 watt switch is pretty useful. You can get pretty loud with minimal breakup with the 3 watt setting and the 5 watt setting will really push the tubes into that great classic distortion. Equipment Quality: 4/5 I've only owned it a couple weeks and it seems extraordinarily well made. It looks great also. The reason I gave it 4/5 is there is some crackling when I turn the volume dial. Usefullness: 4/5. Just an awesome tube amp. For what it offers, it gets 5/5 but lost a point due to no effects at all. You'll have to buy pedals for any effects you want. This was fine with me because I prefer all my effects be on pedals anyway. Overall Value: 5/5 This was just a great find. Everyone who has heard it has been blown away with the sound quality and can't believe I only paid $250. I'm completely converted, I'll never buy a solid state amp again. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to get away from the compressed sound of a solid state amp. I don't see myself upgrading from this for a very long time.
