my 5.1 is 20wRMS but its a wimpy 20w I think, as I have it on max quite often, both my guitar amps are 20w and 1/4 volume is plenty! wind the gain up and the volume has to go down.

My 100 Watt Marshall MA100C is plenty loud enough for gigging, but is a bit heavy to lug around, I alleviated that a bit by installing four Casters on it so that I only have to pick it up when carrying it down a flight of stairs, I had a 5 Watt Legacy Valve amp but apparently it got stolen from the music department at Uni some time last year, the little 5 Watt Pitbull Guitar amp looks like it might be a good replacement for it, hence the reason why I'm very much interested in getting one once they become available.
I guess I'm a bit too timid for Red Tolex. I was hoping maybe black carbon fibre look would be available with the red mesh.
This valve amp is a great idea. I prefer small valve amps so I can crank them to the max to get desired tone - without upsetting the neighborhood..
A connection for a cabinet would be handy

Pretty easy to stick an isolation jack in the back cover somewhere, that's what I did with the little Fender Mustang 1 and it sounds very grown up through a quad box.
Just make sure your external load is the same as the internal speaker
What tube[s] does this amp use, a EL84/EL34/6L6/6V6 ?
May I suggest a cheap upgrade by putting at least plastic corner protectors on it, if not metal ones, as theses small light amps tend to get slung in the boot of a car, and pretty soon the vinyl covering can start coming away from the cabinet where the vinyl pieces meet.
Looks good, hard to tell about the sound from that Facebook video.
My main concern with these cheap small amps is how the HUM level is, I've nearly bought several different brands similar to this amp over the years, but when finally getting of my butt to go and actually find one and test it, the HUM level has been a deal killer
