See below Characteristics of lucky-seven.

UTILIZATION

I totally agree with the opinion of lucky-seven. I would add, however, the following defects (related to my use of course):
- No footswitch for the reverb
- No settings for boost. Basically I would have liked to control the gain boost.

But it's still good detail. The overall use is simple. I like the fact that there have not "master" which simultaneously controls the gain of both channels.

SOUNDS

With the band we play a lot of different styles: rock, reggae, funk, electro, trip-hop .... Well I found my happiness for each of the styles.
The sounds are really clear top (I always put the ninja boost) and I play more with the saturation of the amplifier (with or without boost).
I play it with a Gibson Les Paul Custom and it sounds wicked! The guitar and the amp has two of them are enough to sway me from Led Zep, Black Sabbath, .... not need to saturation or other effects.
I also have a Fender Start US + and then the funk is a hit too well.
To summarize j'ADDOOOORRRRRREEEEEEE sound! We can work it really well without it taking the lead and find sounds tip-top. Basically an album if you want full of shades of different sounds for the guitar ben is a good start with this kind of amp.
It is on that to make the metal is not the amp you need. I rarely do metal but if I want a rocking riff bin I use a distortion pedal appropriate (Boss MT2) I use also above the saturation of the amplifier to add the heat!

OVERALL OPINION

I bought used (800 euros) and I use it for 1 year (already).
In fact at the time (Boudiou was the good old days), I was looking for an all-tube amp for a budjet of less than 1000 euros. I found nothing convincing in the new, even the Fender Hot Rod did not sound to me. I talk about this amp because it was one of the best-selling ....
The mesa boogie bin must be put twice before something pete. The first awards that are already super expensive are not really top I think.

Basically I found my happiness not until I came across this amp. I test the store with a Gibson Les Paul and there I hearts the energy, the heat of the note.

If someone want me to give him one or two mp3 with:
- Les Paul on his clear
- Les Paul in its saturated
- Start of a clear
- Start of the saturated
... With pleasure! So email me. RIVERA VIVE!
