I have the tweed covered version of the legendary 7-100, so it sounds the same as the leatherette covered version. I was very surprised at the rich tone of this amp. I am using it with 6 AA's not the power supply (dont know what difference that makes tonally) and it sounds like a tweed champ. You can get clean tones that have just a touch of twang with single coils or weaker humbuckers (gretsch) at a lower volume and form 1/4 of the way up you get progressively more and more tweedish ( let's face it-tweed breakup is basically distortion that fuzzes up as the gain increases) type distortion. With a tele you are in rolling stones territory, and with a humbucker equipped guitar you are in Neil Young land. It is awesome for recording, just stick your mic in front and go! It takes pedals well also. I love the simplicity-no time spent tweaking controls, plug in and rock. That said; this is not an ideal amp for a young beginner guitar player. A young kid will not appreciate what this amp gives. But for experienced players who like a "tweed' tone at a dirt cheap price this cannot be beat. Also, dont listen to the nonsense from guys who own one of the "original" ones that these new ones are no good-that's crap. The circuit has not changed regardless of who constructs it.Read full review
A WONDERFUL STRAIGHT FORWARD NO FRILLS GUITAR AMP! This amp is surprisingly loud enough to hear properly, has a fuzztone and also sounds great clean. I used it full volume which makes full distortion but if you cut your volume knob on your guitar down it becomes crystal clean and sparkling highs. I play it with a Fender Stratocaster and it sounds great! Battery operated or with an adapter it works great. I also like the strap buttons on the amp that you hang the amp on your should with any guitar strap and walk around playing.

This amp is super fun to play with. You can take it anywhere and surprisingly the batteries last a long time. I've played it for probably close to 8 hours already and haven't charged the batteries. The door is a really nice feature. You can close the door for a louder more midy sound or open for more highs and a smoother sound. The fuzz sounds great when you turn your guitars volume up. The secret to playing this is to have the volume all the way up all the time and control fuzz with your guitar volume and control tone with the door. You can stuff something like a pillowcase inside to get even more fuzz (not much more). Really great amp for the value, I use it more than my Bugera V22. It does get surprisingly loud (maybe 5 on a 20W amp) for such a small amp. It weighs only a couple pounds, has a nice carrying handle and a rugged enclosure. I am a very happy customer :)Read full review

OK, I'm a guitar player/builder/repair tech (for 46+ years now). I collect/repair/buy/sell these things and have owned dozens of em in varying years and all of the limited editions, these are great little amps, the older ones do sound a little better than the newer ones, regardless, they all sound great. The portability/battery power makes em great for travel, camping , street performance. Also the line out makes em great for recording, use as an overdrive, or going direct into the PA. They are tough as nails, I've taken and used em everwhere you can imagine, even had one fall down a flight of stairs once, still worked fine. I even took one across Lake Ontario on a small boat. They are also a great harmonica amp. The available AC adapters are handy but I usually just carry spare batteries. One final "note" (pun intended)if you opt for the AC adapter, I reccomend spending the few extra bucks for the regulated version (the non regulated ones produce some hum) again, I just carry extra batteries !!Read full review
This is Awesome for it's size & Sound! My friend had one of the 1st one's that came out! I made a small portable amp w/ a 10" speaker; but his would sound so much better! I had to have this NEW Tweed Model! To go with my Tweed Fender case & vintage Fender guitars! I love that it has the preamp out feature, I plug it into my Tweed Blues Deluxe 'amp in' feature & it sounds so perfect 'bluesy' too! It's definetly worth getting!
