The good news: The combo tube amp I purchased from Monoprice arrived today. Others here have said they belief it's a Laney Cub 12R clone, but I wouldn't know. I got it for extra cheap. Equipped with a 12" Celestion speaker and a spring reverb. Like the CUB 12R, it has a "step-down" setting: you can either plug into the 15w full power jack, or into a <1w jack, which, according to Laney, "Plug into the <1W and you get .75 of a Watt output. This allows you to drive the amplifier as hard as you like, giving you masses of power amp compression and a pleasing break up for that elusive DARK ART tone."
The bad news: It's late at night, too late to unpack and try it. Worse yet, I have to work tomorrow, have a church dedication to work Sunday, and then I'm headed off on vacation for a week. So, it might be more than a week until I get a chance to hear it work.
But I will give a full report (and pictures). I feel I owe that to you.
