I got this idea from a YouTube video of a guy who wired this same amplifier into a Marshall Cab and was pretty impressed with the sound from that demo. I still had mine laying around so I did the same thing and plugged it into the 1x12 I’m making (Jensen Mod) and was even more impressed than I expected with the result. I went ahead and removed the amp portion from the original housing and slapped together my own housing with a speaker out jack.

Edit: I don’t know why the photo keeps showing up sideways for me, i tried to rotate it and upload again but that hasn’t fixed it. Apologies for this…

    A lot of practice amps have really nice cleans at bedroom volumes. Like not just acceptable but really really good. My teacher has this cheap $100 Marshall 8 inch practice amp and the cleans blow a way a lot of $1k amps… at bedroom volume.

    How does this one sound clean, Doty, quiet and loud?

      It sounds pretty good at family friendly volumes whether I’m running it clean or dirty. I haven’t tested it loud yet, but will this weekend. With this amp I usually just leave it on the overdrive channel and use my guitar’s volume to control gain. The cleans and dirty sounds are both great, hard to describe since it really has its own thing going on. It vaguely reminds me of an old school Mesa. Again, the speaker made all the difference.
