Surprise Sound Lab Rock Block Amp, There are more and more players looking or low-powered amps for the home and studio - and for many of you 1 watt is all you need. SSL builds just to products, both USA made, with their flagship being the Rock Block, which functions as both an amplifier and as a distortion pedal. It produces real tube overdrive because it is actually a tube amp. The variety of sounds this thing is capable of is amazing, plus the tubes are interchangeable which provides even more variety. Maximum output (1.5W max/.012W clean) is achieved with an optional ECC99 (included). I found that by dialing in various amounts of gain and adjusting the 3-way switches for "boost" and "bass", this amp had and seeming endless number of characters. It can drive loads of 4-16 ohms and has an "output to amp" jack to drive a bigger power amp. This amp is mint in the box with power supply also mint in the box, preamp tube, power tube, and optional ECC99 power tube
