I work at SOVTEK as the Director of Engineering. Here's some info:<br />
<strong>The</strong> Midget is our most reliable guitar amp, it's one of the more recent<br />
designs and has the bugs worked out. <strong>The</strong>y almost never come back for<br />
repair. <strong>The</strong>y're built at former Russian Military factories with certified<br />
components. Built like a brick!<br />
<strong>The</strong>y have a really high gain preamp, if you like high gain super crunch,<br />
you'll like <strong>The</strong> Midget. <strong>The</strong>re is also a low gain input so decent cleaner<br />
sounds are possible. <strong>The</strong>re are some simple mods we've suggested to some<br />
of our customers to mellow out the pre-amp for a cleaner prettier tone.<br />
<strong>The</strong> thing I like best aside from the variety of sounds, is the tiny size<br />
and kick in the face power. It' my favorite amp for gigs now.<br />
<strong>The</strong> amp is FAR better than Marshall in every way.<br />
When you put the two up against each other in a side-by-side test,<br />
SOVTEK always wins - at a fraction of their price.<br />
We stand behind the amps - even if it's out of<br />
warranty, the charge for parts/service is less than some techs will charge<br />
you for an hour on their bench.<br />
We also have a Bass Midget version, sounds like the Ampeg B-15, we just<br />
put this on the market with a matching 1x15 cabinet.<br />
I'm planing on buying myself another Midget and running them in stereo. I<br />
love 'em. And that's not a sales pitch, I don't get commissions!<br />
