I have to admit that my expectations were pretty high, but this guitar has exceeded them in all areas. The neck is perfect, sounds great, plays great. And the tuners (which I picked) are probably the smoothest I've ever used. I've played it around the house (all evening) and I can't wait til practice next week and gig next month.

As I have played it more over the past week, I am so impressed by something I can't explain very well. I just get this feeling that I am hearing exactly what noise the guitar is making and nothing else. There is an absolute clarity to each tone that is amazing - I find myself playing one note and just listening to it! As my son and I both get faster I think that characteristic will make for much better runs and solos, where even though the notes are fast each one is very clear. Another way I see this is in the way I can change a pot setting, which pickups I am using, or my picking attack and the difference is really noticeable. For me the change in picking attack is the most fun to play with - the jump in volume is striking and the growl jumps in too if the volume is high enough.

What I like most is that I now understand the dynamics of electric guitars through pure experience - I can really understand what is going on and the impact of something I do on the sound that comes out.

Thanks for confirming on the gain switch, too. Between trying higher volumes (I was initially keeping it low and setting my guitar pots to 10) and picking a little harder I could bring out a nice growl that itself is amazingly clear. I have been playing mostly on my classical guitar for a couple years now, but the Hamer is going to get a lot more use now that it has a chance to truly express itself.

I just got the amp and it arrived in perfect condition. It looks very nice and sounds great... The sound is amazing.

Got my Nickel Box this week. Very nice sound and very well built. It's a big cabinet (a little bigger than a deluxe), but not as heavy and quite manageable. Jer was great to work with, sent several updates and photos along the way, and packed the amp for shipping better than any I've ever seen. Well worth the money!

I am 100% pleased with this amp. It has the clarity of clean Fender tones and yet will get the British sound going without a problem. There are some very unique controls on this amp. It has a Tri-Pent pot on the front panel that you can dial it in from Triode to Pentode or anywhere in between. An NFB toggle on the front panel that adds a no feedback in the up position and normal in the down position. The Contour pot on the front panel works as most do to dial in the bass and trebles. I play pretty much clean country and this amp does it for me yet it still has the ability to get dirty if need be.

I spoke with Jer on the phone twice today and he is a very helpful down to earth explain things to a non amp geek like myself so it could be better understood. He also made it clear his help is available with just a phone call. Now this to me is very valuable along with his lifetime warranty I just don't know how a person could go wrong with his products. Excellent job Jer, keep up the good work and hopefully there will be others that will have an opportunity to work with your fine products. Keep on pickin.

Gets my seal of approval --Sarah, ran her good through the motions tonight and man...loud .....most likely one of the finest 15 watt amps out there..with a duo. and a little drive ..nails the trower tone, zep tone...just about any tone you could ask for ....easily do a small gig with this amp........still breaking her in on my side ( getting to know her) the speaker fits the amp perfect....so any fence sitters...dont know how you could go wrong with one, now Im thinking about another to run the chorus with......

fast shipping great product
