I'm interested in one too. Any review or report of experience would be appreciated.

They are just SOOOOOOO cute! I am thinking of matching this with a Matamp Single Sloping Cabinet housing a Celestion G12T-100Watt Speaker.
I think it will be a nice recording rig.
Anyone?

I'll bring this one back to life.
I've wanted one of these for a long time, so I used the opportunity of this conversation to selflessly obtain one (a Korean made example from the first production run) for the purposes of research and study.
As you can see, in relation to something we all recognize it is indeed tiny, a shade less than a foot wide. It weighs about 13 pounds and appears to be very solidly built. Three knobs, one input jack, no loop or reverb, seven or 15 watts, very simple.
I've only spent a few minutes with it so far, but my first impressions are as follows: LOUD. Even the seven watt setting pushes my 300 watt Marshall cab easily, fifteen watts is almost too loud to sit next to. So far so good! Tone wise, my brief impression is that this thing is certainly not timid; the sound goes from a quiet clean to loud high gain pretty early in the knob twiddling phase. The single tone knob may be a bit limiting, but I haven't given it much of a spin yet. The volume and gain knobs really work well together, but if you're looking for jangle I'm not sure that there would be enough volume without pushing it into overdrive, YMMV.
It's like having a 50 watt Marshall that you can carry over your shoulder in the gig bag; once I get a different cab to go along with it (maybe Celestion Vintage 30s) I'm going to have a great deal of noisy fun. I like it!
