I see the Bugera V22 still sells for £245 on Thomann and includes a footswitch. Be interesting to hear a shootout between the V22 and the HB tube15. BTW This guy swapped out one of the tubes to lower the gain ....sounds pretty sweet

My thoughts: It looks very nice, much creamier than in the pictures. The sound is very similar to my Fender Blues Jr. Tweed which I eventually sold. I will send the Amp back because: - I can´t stand the volume knob working like in the fender -> Silence at 1.5, nearly full volume at 2.5, 0-1.5 and 2.5 to 10 not needed. - 1 Watt mode is very loud (much louder than my DSL5 on 1 W). -> no crunch tones in the evening in a rented apartment. - the amp won´t produce any nice overdriven tones. When cranking the gain it sounds like a fuzz. i hate it. - The overall tone is quite muffled (like a Bugera V5 i had and sold), even with bass down and tone at 10. - I can´t get a nice tone out of it, for me it sounds muffled like covered in a wet towel but at the same time with a shrill high end. No transparency at all. Very unpleasant. Now, i´ve got a guilty conscience: If i knew i would be EXACTLY like a blues Jr. i wouldn´t have ordered it. Also, i know many many people like this sound very much and get superb sounds out of it (maybe with pedals??). So i am not saying that it is not good. It´s exactly what i don´t like with amps. In general i think Harley Benton could crash the whole Amp market because Amps are even less craftmanship than guitars (where you can discuss about rare woods, patterns, one piece bodies etc.) and in the Amp market there is the same amount of boutique BS. SO i keep on waiting for clones of VOX AC and Marshall Amps which will be great for me.
