    Default One of the best low-wattage amps I've heard

    Founder and former Budda designer, Jeff Bober, has been busy working on his new East Amps, and I was blown away by this new 2-watter.
    You have to hear it. And for something quite different, the power section contains 12AT7 tubes. I don't think I've come across this before.

    Very cool to have 12at7 tubes as power tubes!
    Sounds nice.

    That amp is full of chewy goodness, especially with the Les Paul.

    I can't wait to see the price.

    I'm prepared for the big let-down, when I learn I can't afford it.

    My sentiments exactly. At $1350 for two watts I hope their pricing isn't linear with output power, if it is, I'll wait for the 2uW version.
