Carlos, the sticker on the back of mine says Baby-Brute is 125 watts input at 4 ohms, 75 watts output. These stickers come off. ;-)
This is a great little amp, of course. It doesn't move much air, but the air it moves is very pretty. Here is a funky video of me and Bryson Borgstedt, tenor sax. Just out of the picture is the Baby-Brute. http://www.sendspace.com/file/y82eq8

Alisdair,
This is a most welcome response and I am thrilled you liked it. It was recorded on one of the new phone/recorders by a friend at the party. I told Bryson that in spite of the low tech and the people noise, it is a good representation of what we do and does have a good vibe about it.
So thanks again,
Jim

Thanks Carlos!
I was hoping you could tell me what kind of Heritage it is. ;-) I don't really know too much about this brand and can't find another guitar with these appointments. It may have been a special order. If so, can't imagine why that person would part with it. It is a very good guitar. I got it from a friend of mine who knew I was looking for a working guitar to replace my L5. anyway, I heartily recommend this guitar to those who are looking for a nice working man's L5.
My friend paid $2,400 for it. I traded a Martin HD 28V and $600 for it. He sold the Martin for $1,700 to another friend of his and I think we all did really fine. ( I think guitarists should share the numbers with each other. First, because we should take care of each other in this harsh environment, and also because it is very helpful to know "real" street value.
The sticker says:
135 watts input/4 ohms 75 watts output

Jim

Very nice playing.

A student of mine forwarded it to me, because I'm always joking that as a guitarist after the sax has played their single line with the guitarist accompanying, they often just drop out and leave you too it, generally spending time fiddling and adjusting their reed! So be prepared! (it's a rare deal to find a sax who plays good accompaniment).

Enjoyed it! Loved the setting! Good vibe!
