Although I saw many reviews of this I was 'shocked' how small it really was. Think two large match boxes. But it's not about size, is it?...My Fender 212r was proving too loud for the band so I took the amp out and use the Nano with the two 12" speakers as a cab. The sound is great and the cab mic'd up to a pa works fine so far. I do miss the thunder of the 100watts through my body. Full vol with 12 oc gain some bass, mid, treb, depends on guitar I guess. I use Carbonita with Fideli'Tron humbucking and a Pignose twin rail humbucker pickup at the bridge. Effects send return not so different to guitar-effects-main in (to my ears). No hum, buzz, class sound overall. Free postage would have been great!!!
