Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've owned my Special 6 for 1 day. I hate guys that qualify their reviews by running down the litany of great gear they own/owned, so I'll skip that part. I'm in the business and I've got lots of amps...What I want from THIS amp is simple: SIMPLICITY itself.
Because it's not going to venture beyond the living room, I want something small enough that my wife won't give me too much grief, something that sounds GREAT without tons of tweaking and/or pedals, and something inexpensive. Anybody that has sought similar knows that any combination of 2 of those things usually precludes the third.
NOT SO IN THIS CASE!!!
It's tiny and light. OK...my wife WILL give me grief, but that's her job, and I've never owned a smaller amp. Period.
It sounds FANTASTIC. A Tele and a cable were all I needed to coax GREAT tones as soon as my Special 6 came out of the box. I just dimed the volume on both guitar and amp(without boost), and left the Amp's chickenhead tone knob right down the middle. Laying into the guitar I could get fantastic brown tones with tons of chime and definition. To clean up, I didn't adjust my volume pot, just my attack. The clean tones are really satisfying, with a little growl to remind you of what awaits when you decide to lean into it. I like the crisp attack of a 10" speaker, so I don't miss the add'l bottom of a 12".
200 bucks??? I've spent more on stompboxes. So what if China isn't the home of Rock-N-Roll...
Remember the part about this being my living room amp? I'm immediately thinking of getting a second and running the 2 in stereo for club gigs. Walk onstage with a 2 tiny 6 watt amps and watch the sound man become your BEST friend

Boutique amp players will love the Special 6\'s combination of handwired tube goodness, unique features and unparalleled value.The mod-friendly Special 6 is easy to customize for home amp builders and tube amp enthusiasts.The Special 6 gets its powerful tube sound from one 12AX7 preamp tube and one 6V6 output tube.It boasts a footswitchable Gain Boost feature that significantly expands its range of tones -- it's the only amp in its class that excels at both clean and overdriven tones, and it's the only amp in its class to offer a footswitchable boost.With the Gain Boost, players can instantly toggle between clean rhythm tones and overdriven leads, essentially duplicating the footswitchable functions of a 2-channel amp in an all-tube, handwired, simple, 2-knob package.To further expand its range of tones, the Special 6 also features a High/Low power switch that enhances low-volume tones with extra-smooth richness (when in half-power mode). It's a great feature for recording, or for low-volume "bedroom" players.In high-power mode, it's one of the few amps in its class that is loud enough to compete with a strong drummer.The Special 6 combo is outfitted with a special high sensitivity 10" VHT Special Design speaker.
