The MM5 is a 5 watt (conservatively rated) single ended
tube amplifier. Don't let the wattage fool you , its a full-sized 1X12
combo. The cabinet is designed and constructed to be non-resonant and
lets the amp work the speaker without having unwanted overtones added
to the sound. The cabinet size was designed for optimizing the efficiency
of the Celestion blue speaker for articulate sound reproduction. The
results are outstanding clean tones and depending on volume level, pick-up
type, and pick attack the overdriven distortion is much more articulate
than higher priced 18 watt amps. As a by-product of the circuitry, components
and high quality cabinetry, it also excells at amplifying electric-acoustic
guitars. They sound phenominal with the MM 5 combo (finger pick'in Taylor
T5 clips are in the works) you won't believe its only 5 watts, or your
ears.
