"The Bruno Underground 30 ($1799) was a solid winner in our Feb. '97 boutique amp shootout, and fans of classic Vox tone will dig what this 30-watt single -channel head has to offer. Powered by four EL84s, the point-to-point wired Underground offers simple, effective controls and a great-sounding three knob reverb that's situated ahead of the first gain stage. This proven combination (think Fender Vibro-King) produces atmospheric AC30 -like shimmer at lower settings and furious old-Marshall grind when you give it the gas. Reviewed Feb. '97."
