What do you guys think of Sovtek? They're pretty cheap as far as all-tube heads go. I figure if I spend a little more on a head up front, I can upgrade the cabs later. I've been looking at the MIG-50 and thinking about tossing the cheapest 2x12 cab I can find under it.

Ballard:
I resent a consumer-grade tube amp being named after a part of my military heritage. In fact, the G part of MiG stands for nearly my name (Mikoyan-Gurevich, the latter being a variation on my surname, Gurvich)

This amp better kick ass to be named after a Soviet fighter jet.

valley_parade:
Sovtek used to make Big Muffs for EHX, didn't they?

Based on that, man, you can't go wrong.

Look it up on YouTube.  There's a pretty good handful of videos.  Everything I've found about them so far is positive.

Beastmouth:
Be careful about the condition of the Sovtek amp.  A buddy had one with the crystal busted or LED missing or something and it nearly caught his house on fire.  Moral of the story is don't be an idiot, I guess.
