Anyone try out this wacky little retro amp?

I don't believe it's available yet; that site says it should be available by the end of March 2016.

Edit: You could buy a Tube Screamer Pedal and this Monoprice amp and save yourself some money, although it wouldn't look as cool.

With a five watt amp would you really need a tube screamer?

That styling has been done before, notably by Tone King. Fun & amusing if not gigworthy.
And yes, the Monoprice that I just received, with or without OD is a very real and affordable option.

Isn't that Monoprice amp essentially a late Epiphone jr. with a tone control?

The line-out and headphone sockets may provide a useful feature.
Has anybody tried this setup with a more powerful power amp for gigs?

Reviving an old topic.
How did the Monoprice 15-watt tube amp work with PSG?
