Combo 5W-channel all-tube Class A
1x + 1x EL84 12AX7
HP 8 "
Front: Guitar Input, Master Volume and switch ON / OFF
On the back: IEC socket for power supply (230v) and 4 ohm speaker output (connected to the HP original) format Jack
Weight: approx 10 kg

No frills, therefore, the same summary. A deliciously retro look, small, fairly light, ideal for work at home.

However, Stand by would have been welcome, as well as an effects loop, I do not know what it is this habit of always forgetting the little amp.

UTILIZATION

How it works? is simple, a socket, a jack, a guitar, you plug it all, you turn and go up the sound ... and that's it, more's play.
Be careful, it is much more "powerful" as his only 5w to show it at first, it largely as a Laney LC15 gouache, it is certainly due to the fact that it is class A, but hey, at home need not exceed 9 hours in volume.
Some will be cooled from the beginning by the lack of equalization ... but it is pointless!! It is not meant for group play, then for small or quick jam on the corner of the bar, nothing more

SOUNDS

How does it sound? Sounds good, a good well rounded and dynamic desire, sings every note is a joy, it may well be a small combo opened with a 8 "(of unknown origin), it provides all the frequencies, yeah we do not ask him out 20Hz at 150 dB, either.

I see one who sneers at the bottom there, what cares that metalheads with an amp like this?
Ben metallers he is doing very well with a beast distortion pedal to work at home and it's going very well, no need to Equal or whatever it is again, just open his ears.

OVERALL OPINION

Ben voila, I was looking for a small amp not powerful work at home (while the 50W lamp for my Screamer is too much, and yet I have no real neighborhood, but only for work is too many). I watched almost everything that was done, the Laney LC15 (yum, but a bit too powerful) to MadAmp kit, but frankly for € 150, why bother? It sounds, it's a real tube amp, and for a distortion, just a pedal. Limit one can easily connect a preamp input for adding CHANNELS if we find fault.
In short, conquered
