Someone on SSO got one and it had issues with power and had to send it back. Second one is picking up radio frequencies but is otherwise working. He also has a Supercrush and said there's not really much comparison, the Gain Baby sounds noticably smaller and not as good as the full sized head. Sad, I had high hopes for these things - all the YouTubers are glowing reviews so I was tempted to buy one, but after hearing some real world use of them I'm definitely less excited.

Sounds like it needs more QC on the noise/RFI choking/ filtering into or out of the power supply.

Which is odd, because to choke RFI is pretty damn inexpensive to implement.
 
I really, really dig the Super Crush. Disappointing that these (so far) don't seem to be up to par. Honestly, if tubes died tomorrow, having the Super Crush and Blug stuff would make it at least doable.

I've been heavily considering buying an Amp1 Iridium and pairing it with the tiny 2x6" Ear Candy I got the other day for next to nothing. The whole rig would weigh less than 10 lbs and able to push 100w with ease and I can send direct to FoH for a bigger sound. Sounds like the perfect rehearsal/gig rig. Was hoping to do this with the Baby line but I'm not confident it will work out.
 
I bought one of the Black Star amp2 ‘s last year after a friend bought one to gig with.
You can get some brilliant sounds from it If you want something with a small footprint ?
