I see the amp is now available in the UK, has anyone tried it yet?

I had a wee play on this head yesterday inn CC music in Glasgow. Played it through two traveller cabs - the 1x15 and 2x10.

Wasnt using my own bass so any impression is obviously coloured by that.......

First impressions were it was really good. It certainly looks the part as the valves glow nicely through the grill on the head. My only previous experience of all valve heads was my old Mesa 400 + which I loved but was a beast to move. This is an easy one hand lift. Not quite in the realms of fitting in the front pocket of your gigbag, but for a valve head it is incredibly light.

All settings were left flat on the amp and bass. I only used the valve blend control ( cant remember what its actually called ) and boy was this good. It went from a really bright modern sound to a much warmer motown type sound - all by turning this little knob about half a turn.
I cranked it up a bit - the bass department is in the basement so nicely insulated - and it sounded very, very good.

I am holding out to try the new Aggie stuff, but this has certainly piqued my interest. A lot.
