My friend Ronaldo Brito of Alien Amps & Effects sent me this wicked little 5W Single-Ended / Class A amp to try a couple of weeks ago. When it arrived I was surprised to see that the font it used was the same as another friend's amp company, Achillies Amps of Melbourne. So I paired them up for some fun.

The Alien Five uses 2 x 12ax7 and 1 x EL84 (JJ Tubes) to do its work. It comes in a head version or combo with a 1 x 12 (Alien Ace speaker). The range of sounds stretches from slightly hot cleans through to classic crunch and for a little fellow the Alien Five has plenty of kick. The Five is light and built extremely well. On the rear you will find 2 parallel outputs (4 and 8 ohms). The version I have also has an attenuator mounted to the underside of the amp plate to facilitate running it flat out but at manageable volumes...

The Achillies Amplification 'Priam' cabinet is also handmade and houses 2 x Celestion Vintage 30's. The Priam pairs beautifully with its little Alien friend and is another example of fine hand made love and attention.

The guitar is a PRS Studio that was born on 30th March this year. I love it dearly and it seems to get on very well with these two. ☺
