tube combo - 50 watts, 1x Koch VG12-90 speakers, 3 channels (clean, drive and gain), 4x 12AX7 pre-amp and 2x EL34 power tubes, reverb (output 0/25/50watts) , headphone output, includes a 5-button pedal, line out, FX loop, taken to other HP, etc. .... Weight: 26.5 kg.

UTILIZATION

the manual and easy, with example configurations (Clean, Jazz, Heavy ...)
But then the configuration of the amp is very simple.
The sound is there, I play with a JEM 7v (so DiMarzio Evolution).

SOUNDS

The clean sound is really incredible, the sound "Tender Surender" is at your fingertips!
for blues / jazz need anything else, the rock / a little heavy it out.

For some sounds, I think especially "Heavy Metal", a good effects pedal can sublimate the craft.

But again the sound is really great lens, DO is not playing with the volume to go from crunch to clear.

Each of the guitar pickups can be expressed and you really feel the difference.

It's all good.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this amp for now. I tried a lot of things, I tested also very good Studiotone XL, virtually the same sound settings with more than it seemed.

I had for quite some time a Fender Vibro-Champ Lampsa in the 70's. With my dual humbuckers impossible to arrive at a clear worthy of the name, it always Crunchant.

Otherwise a 100 watt marshall, I'm happy to put aside.

The price is downright affordable compared to the amps, Mesa Boogie type US imports, the price is 50% cheaper than a Mark V, for example.

I would do without this choice problem.
