I wish the exchange rate was that good 
It's very very heavy for such a small amp - I think 12kg at least so shipping is very expensive. |

My bad, according to today's rate its 167.50USD.
I live in Japan so the shipping cost is about 10$. It is supposed to weigh 7.5kg, BTW. |

That is a decent price for one of those amps; I've seen people asking $400 for them on Yahoo, but of course they don't sell.
As long as you have something decent (preferably valve) to use as a main amp, then this amp could be a useful practice amp type thing. Or, get it for the collection aspect!

Although it's not a tube amp, I like mine a lot and it's definitely worth that much if not more. I guess it does weight 7.5kg, it only feels like 12! |

I have one and despite being transistor it sounds great and is loud enough to get over a drummer and bass player in a gigging situation. It's definitely useful as more than just a practice amp.
As mentioned shipping to Europe/US is expensive, but if you are in Tokyo then you have no such problems and $160 is a great price. Go for it! |

Just got the amp today. Paid a bit less than the initial price.
For the size, it is one loud mofo. Very nice clean sound too.  |

A couple of images of my newly required amp
While the clean sound is pretty good, the distorted sound is not too great. Any suggestions for a distortion/overdrive to complement this amp?
Thanks!! |

| Little solid state amps don't overdrive like their tube powered cousins. Depends on how much crunch you want but an Ibanez Tube Screamer (TS9 or reissue TS808) is a good start. Check them out at the guitar shop before you buy.... you might find something you like better. Take your amp in with you. |

Good call Marcus, I use a tubescreamer with my TA-35 and it sounds great, the little speaker struggles a bit with distorted chord work though  |
