Value For Money : Excellent
Not much to add CHARACTERISTICS numres dj. Right: The plastic pedals possde two switches, one for moving the channel clear channel "boost", the other activating or cutting off the spring reverb. In addition we dipose a volume knob for each channel and volume "master".

UTILIZATION

If the use of this amp is simple and easy to find the right sound, I find, however, that both channels configuration does not really justify a combo of quality. One channel and a switch to start or to turn the gain (saturation) would have more convenient does my opinion. Indeed, the clean channel suffers from having no rglage of mdiums, essential to work a guitar sound personnel.
The rear jacks are in addition to the connection of the footswitch, one direct output and an input / output cbler an insert effect. This can s'avrer convenient for users of multi-effects.

SOUNDS

The sound of the clean channel is fairly neutral and actually quite IDAL to test the sound of a guitar. That of the other channel is amazingly hot combo for a transistor. It works wonders with my '62 reissue JV Squier Strato (see my review for this thundering guitar), both in the clear (without gain) in its saturated. The grave is well particulirement Defines and treble well without being strident Submitted. This amp also works with a remarkably Lespaul Custom, hot!. on the other hand, with a Gibson SG, I noticed a lgre aggressivit in mdium / high mdium I did not correct russi.
APRS over twenty years of use, the sound was muffled lgrement, but returned in the order by acting on the modrment treble knob.

OVERALL OPINION

It is in all a very versatile amp s'avre handy for home recording. While it is no surprise, it is not really any mtalleux, but it accommodates trs good of all other genres of music that one seeks his own or a saturated complying with rare exceptions prs instrument used. Finally, he shows a nice heat for a transistor amp, and has a worth gold! Total: qualitprix excellent. Also as he plutt sold well, it is not uncommon in OCCAZ 'REPRESENTATIVES, and a great deal less than 300!
