This is a classy little amp. It's a tiny little 6.5" combo rated perhaps a little enthusiastically at 200 Watts. It's pretty cool. It's not knock your socks off toanz for days, it has a fairly mellow Jazz Chorusy/Fendery clean. It has some breakup if you crank the gain with Humbuckers, but it can sound harsh through it's small speaker; sounds cool if you use a boost to make it get really saturated though.
There's a lot of cool guys using them, like Will Sergent from Echo and the Bunnymen, Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top, Stuart Braithwaithe from Mogwai.

They're around 245 on Thomann, and another 99 for a second cab if you want to do the cool mini stack thing. They have a 12" version for around 400 that's pretty cool, and still super portable, could be a good rival to the Jazz Chorus for Jazz guys.
It's mainly great as a backup amp, or for when you don't want to lug a heavy amp with you to practice or small gigs(though with a 4x12 you could play large gigs too). It's sort of like a crate powerblock with a built in speaker.
Only drawbacks is it doesn't really have much of it's own gain, or reverb. The Club does have Reverb though, and they take pedals well.
