Utilisation très simple comme tout ampli à lampes vintage

Sounds9/10

Extremely powerful amp
You can keep a clear sound at high volumes
The sound of channel 1 is very good, clear grain reminds me of the clear channel Rocker 30 I owned elsewhere. On this channel you can get the crunch, but not saturated.
Channel 2 is dedicated to vintage crunch tones and saturated typed hard rock of the 70s.
There is not enough gain for metal for example, but it is not the purpose of this amp.
Corrections are effective.
Reverb very quiet compared to Fender.

Ampli extrêmement puissant
On peut conserver un son clair à très haut volume
Le son du canal 1 est très bon, très clair, le grain me fait penser au canal clair du Rocker 30 que j'ai possédé par ailleurs. Sur ce canal on peut avoir du crunch, mais pas de saturation.
Le canal 2 est dédié aux sons crunch et saturés vintage typés hard rock des années 70.
Il n'y a pas assez de gain pour faire du métal par exemple, mais ce n'est pas le but de cet ampli.
Les corrections sont efficaces.
Reverb très discrète par rapport à Fender.

Overall Opinion9/10

Amp rare in France, even in the world (very little literature on the internet)
I recovered very degraded to rehabilitate (the former owner had not really cared).
However, I use the pro for a revision and retubing.
I do not regret this investment: after restoration, the sound is excellent, the phenomenal power ... Amp exception!

Ampli rarissime en France, voire dans le monde (très peu de littérature sur internet)
Le son est excellent, assez typé british, grosse puissance phénoménale...
