UTILIZATION
Good sounds difficult to obtain
SOUNDS
for good sound I use a SansAmp pedal plugged directly into the power amp with just the output of the loop.
OVERALL OPINION
this amp was bad for me with good distortion sounds clear but not very typical Fender "too neutral". Equipped with a Start I never found the sound of approaching my idols Hendrix SRV etc.. I first thought about selling it but it was a gift I ended up out of the closet and change it to get the sound I liked.
Step 1 change lamps, one ECC83 and two 6L6 GC Muller Electro harmonix.
Resulting in a true tube amp sound very round and warm, this was not the same amp.
Step 2 as I finally decided to optimize the maximum I exchanged the HP by a Jensen C12N "for its true Fender."
Now I am filled, the amp is powerful, it is much more power, ideal for playing in groups, precise and crunch from hell, to counsel for the Blues.
For all those who have tried it do not come back "me neither".
A tip for those who have this amp, the first thing that costs nothing is to set two pots at max volume and to manage the sound with the loudness knob which is only master c is from 5 that the sound is warmer and round, for the rest if you like me a good strat play with the volume of the guitar.
