It is an electronic amplifier to 30 W into 8 ohms both channels a clear one selectable saturated with a pedal (not supplied), 3-band eq treble mid bass, it does that gain, and a selector effect Knob dosage level of effect. 2 inputs with a second aténuateur (no value in the manual) a jak to pedal and another headphone output, a large LED for power supply.

UTILIZATION

The usage is very intuitive, 8 potentiometric rotary, each one clearly indicated its function, not need the manual to operate it, quickly found sounds interresting. We regret the lack of settings in the effects (which are difficult because in the range selectable reverb there are 4 different algorithms each one in an angular range unmarked ...), which makes them very soon gadjet (except reverb chorus flange and which are quite happening everywhere), the fact of not being able to adjust the tempo or other delay makes unusable in many situations when the tremolo and the other, do not talk! is domage because they are not very evil. We still find the values ​​of these settings in the manual, do very poorly because it does not give much information (aténuation value in entry 2 for example).

SOUNDS

Well, it's still there that the fate of an amp is played. This amp is very very very clean sound, like all Fender amps, I have heard only one amp that sounded as though it was a plain mesa any lamp with a big TC amon! For the gate is saturated it a little, honestly, it's not too bad, but it's not that bad. The sound is rather thin, but it is not a good pedal made by hand on the California coast, to try anyway.

Update of 01.09.2005: Clean my strat higway, the sound is really great, to believe that the guitar was made for this amp, or vice versa, in any case the couple strat / Champion deserves 10 to play the pop / rock.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for several months, and I'm very happy, associated with a small over-drive pedal is great, the sound is always clear, precise, and always very comfortable power (30 watts but we just move the glass with it), compared to marshall and the other, it is much better and clear sound, but when the music is rock, it gets hot fast! finally everything is relative, roughly, to the metal well nag, it's not worth it, the sound is too clean. For the rock is pretty good, and jazz and stuff Tranquiles there is great. Me I use a Hohner telecaster is a sound that changes Ibanez on marshall and often surprising in many listeners. To resume an amp, I would resume a fender, on the model, can be a bigger following the budget.
