Bugera V22 Amp

I must have been a good boy this year, as Santa brought me a new guitar amp (somehow fitting it down our chimney.) I now have a Bugera V22 two-channel tube amp. Apparently 22 watts in a tube amp is the equivalent of much more in a solid-state amp. I'm not sure about that, and I'm not really interested - the goal isn't loudness, it's good tone.

I've grown more and more dissatisfied with the sounds I'm getting out of my Line 6 Spider amp. It does a lot of things, and has a lot of built-in effects, but it seems to me that it does a lot, but nothing well. I'm thinking that I'd rather have an amp that does one or two things really well. Doing some reading of reviews and message boards, the Bugera amp was highly recommended by a number of people as a great value for a low-end tube amp.

I've only had a little time to play with it, but it sounds like a dream, and I can't wait to get better acquainted with it.
