It’s better-sounding and with a better feature set than a Blues Junior too - the FX loop - although it is actually a hybrid amp not all-valve, which may bother some people.
Shame they didn't use their normal colour scheme, the black - especially the grille cloth - looks a bit dull.

No - it's switched with a transistor, but all it does is boost gain on one valve stage by switching in a cathode bypass cap.
I don't think there are enough valves - just one preamp valve, two gain stages. An all-valve amp with a tone stack, reverb mixer section and enough gain to overdrive like that would need at least three, even with no phase inverter.
It's not too bad - all their other stuff was hugely overpriced to begin with, so this was a welcome surprise. They're definitely wise to admit to the solid-state before someone looks inside .

Used to love my 1605R but it was a pricey little bugger

The aesthetics are good though. Nice looking.
