Can version 1 cut through a big band on a solo?

Look at the power rating on the amp and V1 no.

It's in! I picked it up today. My Koch SE 6. First there was a little dissapointment: the previous user, used a el84 and wanted to switch to a 6V6, but that tube was missing a pin. I hope it's not in the amp, but as far as i can see it's not. So i use the el84 for now. Still curious about the diffence in sound.
It's a lovely small amp, especially considering the 12" speaker that is in it. It is one channel with a volume, tone and master volume. It has a low power (2 watt) and a normal power (6 watt). I use the 2 watt position. It sounds really nice. The tone knob works very well. It also has a few switches for cutting low or push mids and it has a boost (pretty subtle unlike most amps).

Again: it sounds very good. I tried to vary the volume on full with the master low and vice versa. The caracter of the amps changes quite a bit. The master on full sounds very clear and bright. With the volume on full and the master low it sounds darker, more mid heavy. Both are nice.

Vinnyv!k persuaded me to try the Henriksen Blu10 , It is ,I suggest, the best VFM and quality for it's size ,portability and tone, having six other amps
it quickly became the number one choice. Sceptical that its tone might not equal my Mambo ( 12"spkr) combo I did a side by side test, using a Campellone.
Once the Blu10 speaker had broken in, the tone equalled the Mambo.
The Raezers Edge Cabinet is excellent, but not easily portable, sounding very good with a Clarus Acoustic Image, or Mesa Boogie MkV 35watt head.
all rather OTT as I can no longer play gigs but good fun nevertheless LOL
