Well I took the plunge and bloody hell I'm glad I did! What an absolutely gorgeous little amp!
The build quality is on par with any other amp ive played or seen. Superbly finished and the tolex is the thickest ive encountered, got a really nice texture to it.
Theres absolutely no hum at all at lower volumes and even when turned up its still negligible.
The sounds slightly thicker than my blues Jr but has a lovely chime to it at lower volumes and goes into a really nice overdrive as you increase the guitar volume. I couldn't go too loud as I only play at home but from what I got to play with it today before I came to work I must say I'm mightily impressed!!
Highly recommended!!

I read the short test they did in one of the Guitar mags, I always worry about gushing reports by mags, good to hear that you find it as they describe.
Where did you come across one of those then @allicio?

The Guitarist quick review (complimentary) is referenced on the latter site.
Do you pronounce it "yerra soff" ?

GTA-15 - это модификация популярного лампового комбика GTA-15R, снятого с производства.
На верхней панели расположены входное гнездо, ручки громкости VOLUME и тембра TONE, а также гнездо линейного входа LINE INPUT, сетевой тумблер и светодиодный индикатор.
Новая модель обладает рядом преимуществ перед своим предшественником. Наряду с наличием линейного входа в GTA-15 существенно снижены шумы и фон, что особенно заметно при использовании его на небольшой громкости. Сделана очень плавная регулировка громкости, в звуковом тракте применены плёночные конденсаторы WIMA, а в оконечном усилителе вместо отечественных 6П14П-ЕВ стоят подобранные в пары лампы EL84. Включение и выключение питания осуществляется с помощью надёжного и долговечного тумблера французской фирмы APEM. В модели GTA-15J12 применяется 12" динамик Jensen C12R. Цвет кожи (по умолчанию светло-коричневый) можно заказать на выбор в новой категории товаров CUSTOM OPTION. Теперь Вы можете выбрать один из шести цветов кожи к серийному комбо-усилителю.
Simples!
/\ thanks very helpful!
I found a russki radio in a church hall bring and buy sale years ago, I love the ancient solid state technology, robust case and the fact that it still works decades on!
Hand wired, solid build and a great sound for just over £300 I figured was a no-brainer!Yerasov: GTA-15J 15W Guitar Amp. Demo and review …:

Ive not owned an amp that responds this well to the guitars volume control before. It really does clean up beautifully!
Its definitely giggable!
Paul the chap behind yerasov.co.uk who imports them, is an absolute pleasure to deal with. I'm on 12 hour nights at the moment so it was a bit awkward arranging delivery of mine. He sorted it out bank holiday Monday for me so that it shipped from Tuesday and arrived with me Wednesday. He's got some on order in a different colour scheme if the brown puts people off.
I like it though, proper old school!!
Paul, the guy I mentioned above gigs his every week and says its absolutely rock solid. No problems at all.
She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts! (Han solo)
