I own a Galaxie 10. It has two tubes -- a 12AX7 and a 6L6. It's biased class
A and rated at 10 watts. It's a very simple amp with very hardy
construction. It has a standby switch, which is rare in an amp of this price
range, and a 10 inch Celestion speaker. It's a cute little guy and sort of
looks like an old radio.
It's not very loud, and I intend to use it for low volume gigs. Personally,
I think it's a neat little harp amp. I was intrigued by the class A 6L6
design.
