    It has controls for bass/mid/highs and a line out, that might solve any other issues I might have with this amp..

    Hey JustaGuyin_nc, please let us know how you like the Weber MicroMass...I've been thinking about ordering one of these myself. I live in a quiet apartment complex, and am always looking for ways to get a big sound at a low volume. The Epi Valve Jr head is great for the money, but you do have to crank it to overdrive the tubes, and it gets pretty loud. (I still have the stock tubes in mine, am planning on switching them out soon).
    Electrics: Epiphone Les Paul Standard (w/S.D. pups - JB-4/bridge, SH-'59 neck), Fender Fat Strat (Mexican), Squier Fat Tele, Squier '51, Agile Valkyrie III, Ibanez Artcore AF75, Washburn OS OE30 Delta King, Dean Vendetta XM (w/ Dimarzios, D-Sonic/bridge, Air Norton/neck), Silvertone archtop (late 60s/early 70s), Titan EG-1 strat, Gibson G-3 bass, Fullerton strat

    Will do for sure... They just sent me an Email stating they will take a week more to make it? I must assume Weber is a very small outfit... It seems they are more like Wendys and only make the item when ordered.. I would have thought they had a few of these already made up for sale...But then , I do like Wendys better than McDonalds...

    Justa update... This is now the only amp I been playing for weeks on end.. Once I connected the Weber MicroMass and changed a tube to an old Harmony amp tube I had laying around, Everything needed was there! I have the option to turn this little LOUD 5watter down to decent levels in this room when going thru the speakers or just run it into the computer thru the lineout on the MicroMass.

    I been using it on about 4 for volume and adding pedals to it.. I want it to stay clean and it does just what I want. Great sound imho! All the warmth one would want. The Weber MicroMass does change the sound a bit unless on bypass, but I like how it changes the sound.. fuller deeper sound to the amp.. great combo!

    I have a Hammond Tranny to throw into the head, but as of yet I do not want to go with out the amp head if something goes wrong... will wait till I have another one before doing it I think..

    I would suggest this amp head to anyone wanting a small great sounding 5 watter at these prices.. but again..I only like the CLEAN..and let the pedals do the rest... but thats just me!
