Amp full lights, 5 4 ECC83 EL34, 100w switchable to 50w.
Embeds a power attenuator (EPA), noise gate, boost, reverb digital.

Series FX loop (foot switchable) and of course the ad-hoc connectors for proper connection with respect to the impedance for all types of cab.

The amp has a self-bias semi-automatic (génial!!) And notified when a lamp has a problem = 50w mode, it automatically shunts the lamp, and go on one of the other two power tubes available!

UTILIZATION

The manual? what for? ;)

The configuration is as simple as a plexi 70 years, the EQ is shared by two (false) channels, bridging the old can color the sound basis as desired, then refines the EQ

The sound!? = The first agreement, one begins to Angus, it's simple! A crunch to fall, the amp is a flexible and dynamic unbelievable, a little shrinkage in the volume knob on the guitar and it is clean.

The reverb is correct, the boost a little loud, I think it is really designed to break through the mix (not tested yet as a group)

EPA works beautifully, and finally a Plexiglas that you can use at home!

Mode 100w to my preference, I find the sound a bit more body than the 50w mode.

SOUNDS

I play in a cover band Thin Lizzy, who played on superlead. I find the sound input!

Fuck a fan of metal, go your way, this amp is destined to rock / hard rock of 70/80 years. The clean is OK without (it is the volume of the guitar, the old if you have the pre-amp to the bottom), the crunch is the best I've ever received, even compared to my JCM 800 83 ', and the desire to lead is creamy thanks to the boost integrated adjustable gain and volume.

Level because I am still in a period of "testing" is currently in a Les paul wah directly in front, and a chorus and MXR EQ in the loop.
I rely on the integrated boost to the amp for solo parts.

OVERALL OPINION

I have had many amps, with the aim to play this rock end 70 years: Engl Blackmore, JCM800 2205. The only really approaching sound I'm looking for is the YJM, without any dispute.

I love the look plexi, its crunch, its very effective EQ, the integration of EPA and boost / noisegate directly into the amp.

I like its size and less weight. The firm's head is the same as the head "Major" of the era, and it's 24 pounds! Negotiate physiotherapy sessions at your local Marshall at the time of purchase ...

I would do this choice easily ... for now. Remains to be seen the reliability of the head over time.
