Check this out for small (tiny) tube amps: http://www.frequencycentral.co.uk/
The Superfly Amplifier sounds incredible!

Thanks for the review! Sounds nice and crunchy.
He says "one quarter of one watt". Check your 6th grade math book. '0.4' is 4/10ths of one watt, just under 1/2 watt (0.5w). Not 1 quarter of one watt, that would say '0.25' on the panel. Doh!
Anyway, the amp looks pretty unusual. IMHO, The power, output and pre switches scream "cheap PCB mounted". Maybe they're going for the video game controller look. Some nice toggles would look/feel better to me. This looks cheap for a $450 price point. That aside, it does sound good.

I don't get it. Amp sounds mediocre and then you have to shell out 400+ bucks? Why buy?

A quarter of four watts is one watt 0.4 is a tenth of four watts.
