DV Mark Little 40 L34 by DV Mark
The Little 40 L34 is a one-channel, 40W all-tube head.
Although simpler than our larger, multi-channel Bad Boy 120, it’s no less versatile. Its secret weapon is the DV Mark patent pending Continuous Power Control (CPC) feature, which allows you to actually change the amp’s power incrementally, from the full 40W (class A/B) gradually all the way down to 1W (class A) in pentode mode, or 15W (class A/B) to 0.5W (class A) in triode mode. This means you can get the tone you want at the volume you need… making the amp perfect for both bedrooms and concert stages!
Depending on your gain level and CPC setting, you can use the Solo boost switch as a drive channel.
The Little 40 L34's other patent pending feature is the Advanced Tube Control System, which measures all the tubes' parameters to help you take care of your amp.

Guitarist Australia reviews three DV Mark products
Some excerpts from the Guitarist Australia review:
"[The DV40 112] is one of the most pedal-friendly amps we’ve used."
"If you’ve been put off by neodymes in the past, prepare to be shocked. We ran a bunch of other amps through these cabs and they are serious contenders: proud clean tones and fat, smooth drive tones. They manage to mate readily with 6L6s, EL34s and EL84s…amazing…and their efficiency produced a delightful increase in the output of each amp."
