Ive had this amp for a little bit but honestly haven't been really using it after using my the different amp. The GS-X Mini is one of the favorite amp alot of people and for good reason. This was my first higher end amp that I purchased to pair with my Diana TC's. This is the satin purple front with the Alps knob so its not the stepped one. this is in great shape however there is one small scratch on the right side of the amp. You could easily touch it up and it would not be visible.
