Made in KY and seem like decent Boutique Amps... There is a Chihuahua and Accomplice Jr here on CL and they look legit... I would only pay used cause that site is a lil ...

Hand-wired Fender-style stuff, generally blackface-y in concept and feel with some mods to modernize them slightly. Very solid parts quality. The thing to watch for is that they sell a lot of their amps as kits, but the DIY-er might not be as solid as their normal build.

I first heard an Accomplice Jr in rob schnapf's studio. Great fendery amp. A few months later I bought a used Allen Encore (vibrolux style amp) and was cleaning out the cobwebs and discovered it was signed by David Allen, #1 - the first encore he built! I love it, needs a retube, retolexing, and some new 10s (wgs g10 speaker rocks in the accomplice, probably will in the encore too) but having a tone knob for reverb and having the "raw" knob to dial in tweed gain is great.

Just be careful if it's a kit though, like gone fission said, some DIY guys are really sloppy & it could be more of a fire hazard than a decent amp.

I had an Accomplice Jr. that was a kit build (not by me, but it looked clean/competently done), and it was a really cool amp. I'd like to try a legit Allen again someday.

WAIT Y U BUY PUSSY BEDROOM AMP WHEN TEXAS IS CHEAP CAB CENTRAL

Definitely a favourite over on TGP. They're popular because they sell kits and are affordable. They're aimed at the average musician who likes to—and can afford to—have a small amp in each room of their house. I was interested in them, but I feel their cabinets are a little small. I can't imagine they sound particularly expansive or three-dimensional. That's what has put me off Swart.

I no buy, just asking for ILF opinions on an obviously TGP type AMP... The guy that has them here seems TGPish and I no ask him questions for fear of bias...
