They aren't too good to be true. A few models have some quirks with the FX Loops, but thanks to a vibrant modding community the fixes are well documented and easily available.
They are good quality and great sounding. Some think they sound better than the originals.
The V30 seemed to have everything I'd need out of the box, although I'd like the cleans to maybe be slightly cleaner.
The V40 was fantastic, but needs a pedal to really push it. Without one, it's a little too 'nice' for my purposes. I tried it with a Tonecity Golden Plexi in the store and that really made it scream (in a good way!).
Never found the tiny terror loud enough in the 2 guitar band I was in - times may have changed!
Dual terror was much louder, couldnt get a clean sound and both channels are very similar. You either like it or you don't! Never bonded with mine.
The jet city has been with me for a couple of years now. Standard bar a power tube change. Gigs all kinds of music. Is it the best amp in the world? - probably not, but it's certainly good enough to keep me spending stupid money on a small friedman. An absolute steal at the price, and please don't think it's a cheap budget amp! I play mine on the edge of breakup with a drive pedal & boost.
Only comment is it's def a size above lunchbox - I do keep looking at mesa ta15s and the new prs mt15 certainly looks tempting for the price - particularly as it runs 6l6s. Both are a lot smaller than the 20hv

I had a JCA 20H too - nice amp for £'s but wanted a 2 channels and usable fx loop - hence custom purchase ..
Dont be mislead by 20w rating these things are loud n hold their own in a band lineup _ Ive gigged both JCA amps with no issue - I'm not a shy player :-) ; worked well with a variety of cabs inc v30/cl80 loaded SFB ; marshall greenback 4x12 ; marshall 1922 gt75 loaded 2x12 n smaller 1x12's inc a nice boogie v30 1x12 ..
