(Originally written by thequad/translated from Audiofanzine FR)

Small, 30-watt solid-state amp.
2 inputs and 1 headphone output to play at home.
It also has a spring reverb.
It looks very nice with its vintage varnished pine cabinet, similar to some Mesa-Boogie models.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use: two inputs (high/low) with different sensitivity, providing different output levels. A volume knob controls the gain intensity and a master knob the output level.
The amp also has a 2-band EQ (bass/treble) and a reverb control.
The sound is quite versatile... and a multi-effects processor will add more possibilities.

SOUNDS

I used this amp 10 years and then I bought a (too) bulky Marshall.
I was very satisfied during this time. It's main limitation comes from the 6" speaker... difficult to get the Angus Young sound...

OVERALL OPINION

I like this amp especially for its looks but also for its musical qualities.

amp transistor very compact hp 6.5 "
2 between a headphone
1 channel, EQUAL 2 band, a first post, spring reverb

very nice pine cabinet with dovetail!
the PERD class

UTILIZATION

very easy

SOUNDS

about half body jazz, blues, ls sounds are of good quality with very good bass for such a small chassis, much better than a micro cube for instance, it does not sound card at all, the reverb is very good, the distortion is great for cruncher and it looks like when you push a fuzz, it's still anecdotal and especially: when you push the gain was a distortion transistor which is not to imitate the lamps is fat, synthetic and yet sufficiently defined. this fuzz

the volume was so huge and such a small beast, and pushed into a corner these sound wins: the crunch has this divine (there's more than clear) we feel that it is the limited equipment (preamp, amp, hp) who participated in this sense that you rarely see: a white heat

OVERALL OPINION

: J'n'ai no studio experience, but often found in interviews with the legend kind Pignose etc ... well it's like a Pignose but better! I have a Peavey Classic 30 that sends really well Repeat 'single but my heart is at g5!
However, for large distortion (because his is really nice but atypical) exit the pedals!
