JayTee Services Tru-Tone Amp

Sound Quality: 10
it's really marvelous: all the outputs, all the sounds, the built-in
internal small speaker (not only for practice, but a sound with great
attack)sound BAD TO THE BONE!!!
i use it for bass recording, too!
at first glimpse, it seems to be a bit muddy with less tone control
range, but it works great in the mix because of his magnificient
overtones. the sound is from very delicate to "anarchic tube sound of
the world reviolution".
this tool is a hit.

Reliability: 9
i own it just for about 3 months, but i ever have to feed an
van-halen-like guitar"castle", this will be my choice! it's handbuilt in a
massive way and the "soft rack" feature is a gas.

although john truba has no internet access (yet), he's a real specialist
and is ready to modify the tru-tone due to Your suggestions.

Overall Rating: 10
i own quite a few tube amps, but this is super-effective with a sweet,
warm to grungy tone and powertube-burst at livingroom volume! this
amp will be the apple of many guitarplayers' eye!!!

try it Yourself! if it was stolen, i would chase that su§%$ around the globe...
i guess it's quite similar to the vox amps...

the tru-tone amp is a 2watt amp, hand built by john truba from ireland. i own a model about 1,5 19" rackunits high, built in "soft case" manner (with softened edges, great feature!)
it's a amp for all purposes from 'practicing at home' to 'pre-amp feeding huge poweramps van-halen-like'.
it has bass, treble, mid, pre-amp volume, master volume, operation level (sort of post-master control) and boost as well as eq-lift/boost option. a serial effect loop is included, too!
the latter feature can be switched with a footswitch included.

the handling is easy to anybody that has a tube amp, especially those who got two preamps.

i ordered it after i read about it at
http://www.amptone.com/g200.htm
and really think it's a special amp that could satisfy a lot of guitar players.
