Never thought looking after 0.5W micro amps. Good chance to have a look on some. After all, who still have ancient radio these days?

Mine is literally for practicing at home where all I'm doing is rehearsing for a gig or something. It doesn't sound that bad though considering, I have a little delay I made in the FX loop and just use an OD of mine in front and sits on a permanent fixture of a Marshall 1936 cab. So that is sort of always there ready to go for sheer convenience and late night jamming.
On a side note, wattage is relative and has more to do with dynamic range than 'sounding loud'. For example, My Egnator Rebel 30 is adjustable from 1-30 watts. On more than one occasion I've gigged with it at 2 or 3 watts and get complaints to turn down. All the wattage really changes is how loud it gets when you hit the strings hard, it simply doesn't keep increasing and flattens out the peaks but the other 80% of the volume (not peaks) is still plenty loud. It just gets a little mushier with the lower wattage.
That little radio amp is super cool as well, has a classic sound to it. I love old fuzzy, sounds like the amp is falling apart tones for some stuff.
