Build Quality: A-: It’s got a nice black anodized Hammond metal case. Feels very solid. No turn on thump at all. Fairly quiet -the amp exhibits very little noise at all.
Treble: B+: I did not care for the GV5’s treble presentation at all. The GV-6 has a better treble, but it is still, IMO, the amp&squot;s weak point. The treble is a little grainy, and lacks air and extension. But it&squot;s a big improvement over the GV-5, and isn&squot;t too bad.
Midrange: B+: generally smooth and clean, much more forward than the GV-5. In fact, more forward than the Tomahawk! It&squot;s a somewhat forward midrange now. Not unpleasant though, and fairly open sounding, although not up there with the best.
Bass: B+: punchy sounding, but lacks deep bass power. Stronger mid-bass. Decent definition and attack.
Neutrality: B+: has a kind of tube-like sonic signature. Stronger lower treble than upper treble, slightly fat midrange and mid-bass, and not strong deep bass.
Soundstaging: B+: good depth, decent width. Not stellar, not bad.
Transparency: B+: Generally transparent except for the treble, where I felt it was a little murky. But decent.

Build Quality: B+: Like the T1, small and attractive, and pretty solid for the size. The switches are a little cheesy, though.
Treble: B+: Reasonably clean and detailed, but somewhat rolled off.
Midrange: B: A little cloudy and opaque sounding. Seems like the designer wanted a tube-like sound. A little nasally.
Bass: B+: Upper bass a little forward and deep bass is slightly lacking. Bass weight is very good. Neutrality: B: Lacking a little in the frequency extremes, and a little goosed in the lower mids/upper bass.
Soundstaging: B+: Decent. Width is very good, depth is decent, image specificity is decent. Transparency: B: No real grain. But the slightly cloudy mids detract a little.
