You won't regret it, Charles. Super little amp! I use mine every day; in fact, it's sitting beside me right now alongside my Tele (and the telly ).

I certainly don't. Picked one up on the way home. Brilliant range of tones from a 3in speaker And as loud as you would need to drown Paul out. Makes my biscuit tin amp sound like......well.....a biscuit tin.

It's a very tempting piece of gear - even for one that plays electric so little these days. Mark

It's not your amp that sounds like a biscuit tin.

I'm pleased your knobs feel nice and solid Martin. You are well blessed. Keith I don't know what I was so worried about

Succumbed!!! Proof of the Pudding with me trying melodic lead (ohhh, the Dark Side ) .... The First Dreamy Fly of SpringPRS SE neck pickup on the drive channel with not too much gain - ISF neutral. A David Wallimann backing track. Recording was done in a bit of a rush - I have so little time for playing at this time of year. Wrong sort of microphone used - a condenser. No playing around by me to get best mic position. Just one take. But it does show how bloody good a job the wee Fly does in getting a decent sound across. Streets ahead of any other mini amp I've heard / tried. I must try using the mp3 player input for backing tracks and see how it sounds as a stand alone unit for practice. Mark

I finally succumbed.... Came home with a Les Paul as well, not sure how that happened. This amp sounds MUCH bigger than it looks! Altogether a boogie-tastic little set up!

Great setup indeed, maninashed, but I can't help thinking that looks like one giant guitar

Now that's what I call doing something thoroughly!! I remember having the feeling that the Fly might sound a lot better than the normal mini amp when I felt how solid and weighty it was for its size. Have fun maninashed! Mark
