Does anyone have any experience with these new us amps? I know the tube amps for guitars sound really good for certain effects, but I was wondering how well the glass tubes hold up in a vehicle. I also wanted to know how their sound quality is.

i worked on tube amps in cars years ago and they sounded nice and smooth but got beat to hell in that type of environment ( i.e. tubes arcing in their sockets from excessive movement )... it would be a nice amp if you didnt drive your car......

That's what I figured. Too bad, if they sound as good as guitar amps that would be sweet. They're too expensive to run that risk too, especially the way I drive.
