I had some Xmas present cash burning a hole in my pocket and after hearing several great things about the THD Univalve amp I decided to see if I could get one at a good price.

Lucky for me, local store 3mi away has one for $759 which is about as low as I have heard of, so I go and grab it.

EL34 + 2 12AX7 that it shipped with sound FRICKEN AWESOME. *If you have any money in your pockets and don't require pure buzz-saw metal tone, try one of these puppies out. *The built in hot plate is really fantastic. *I turned the volume to 1/4, 2/4, 3/4 and listened to the distortion getting better and better, then as my ears were starting to feel it, cranked the attenuator up a bit and it still sounded BUTTERY. *This thing is great. * Putting in the power tube takes about 1 1/2 minutes (including taking off the cover). *I'm looking forward to trying different preamp/power combos. *If you want good tube tone, this thing brings it. *The preamp tube covers are screwed on, so changing these takes longer, but who gives a crap when you can swap those out, then try all of your power tubes to see which work best with them... *Guaranteed instantly good rock solo sound just by plugging in.

Also,the guy who makes the (THD) amps frequently posts there.

I have set up an "unofficial" centralised resource on http://www.univalve.net - currently this is just as a forum, although this will change soon. It's only been around for a day or so, but visitors are starting to take notice, and Andy and Ed from THD Electronics have made regular appearances.

I saw one in a pawnshop. Looked like new and was cheap. I didn’t know much about it, so I didn’t hover for long, but maybe I should go back and check it out.

Some times it’s a shame about the things people pawn when they get hard up.
