I read nothing but good things about these amps. Any users here? What models?
I may be interested in one in the future.
Thanks

I was looking at the English and Beagle (20 & 10 watts respectively). I understand that they are still quite loud, but not as much as the Redbone. Anyone???I've briefly owned a Bloodhound, and a good friend has owned a Redbone Special for over a year now.
Both amps are among the finest amps I've ever heard. Build quality is superb, and there is just so much detail and musicality to every note. I have to say that the reason I sold off my Bloodhound was the volume. It was just unreal. I would have had trouble using it anywhere I play. As for the rest of the models, I'd rather not have to put up with the octal preamp tube situation. My experience with Octals is that they're more temperamental than 12ax7s, and I'd rather not deal with that.
..........Those are the best clips that I have heard on here particularly the strat and the archetop cuts.i ve got a rottweiler, and its the first alessandro i own. great sound, allthough if you want to naturally overdrive the amp, that could be a problem, since its 40 watts, going only to 20 (with the power attenuator). the sound however is spectacular..
here are some clips i uploaded for some friends at youtube, but mostly clean sounds

I had a Beagle for a few days once. It didn't sound like any amp I ever heard. I remember liking it and it having a very compressed full sound. It had its own sound very different from the vintage Fenders, Marshalls, Voxes, etc. that I was used to. In the end I didn't keep it but maybe I should have. There was definitely a lot going on with this amp. I have always wanted to try a Black & Tan....I was looking at the English and Beagle (20 & 10 watts respectively).

Disregard that. It's just marketing ********.What's up with the sold gold options?
