Nothing a bit of decal printing or a faceplate wouldn't fix. I am looking forward to a tube power section. I foresee running my Orange Micro Dark's send into this one's return to work with those dual EL84s. A poor man's Dark Terror as a combo.

Im interested on how this will sound! I keep hearing good things about those Orange Micros! I wonder how the amp breaks up when pushed without any pedals. Is it clean like a Fender Blues Jr?

Never playes a Blues Jr, but the Micro Dark can play pushed cleans.
From about 2:15 to like 7:00 is just the amp. He puts a TS in front from 7:00 to 9:00.

That sounds fantastic! Looking forward to seeing how this will play with your Monoprice!

The Monoprice 15W amp is back on sale for $200. I picked one up on sale back in 2017(?) for $144. You can't beat it for the price. Worked great right outta the box. All tubes tested out excellent. Chinese tubes are not all that reliable and some failed just out of warranty. I ended up replacing the 12AX7s with vintage parts and the EL84s with JJs. Highly recommended.

The reverb tank and speaker alone would probably set you back as much...
Might even be worthwhile to have it $hipped to Canada and pay the taxe$ and duty...
Also, not sure if you can combine this with the amp-deal or not:

Nope, just checked. $200 is a killer deal, but $140 would be an irresistible deal so I had to make sure. At checkout it says to add an eligible item to your cart to use the EXTRA30 coupon.

Ah, apparently that one expired yesterday, no dice on that one either.
Seriously, I don't need another amp sitting around my basement, but if the price can get low enough I feel like I'm losing money by not buying another.

I tried BF25 when it was valid--it couldn't be combined with the original discount. But with the holidays looming, it's worth watching their marketing spam. I don't need another of that amp, but their V30 1x12 cab would bring some genuine holiday cheer to my house....

I keep an eye on that cab myself. Maybe the 2x12...

So I bought my 15W a few months ago and I've plugged it in like twice, it's just been gathering dust. But over the weekend I got together with a new band and realized I need a small, reliable, pedal platform amp and I don't currently have anything that fits the bill. So I decided my Monoprice is going to become the donor amp for a new build.
It's an okay amp, amazing for the price, but as an occasional builder, you can't get a cabinet+chassis+speaker+tubes+transformers for $200 anywhere, so it's a no-brainer if you have a plan for a 15W build.
