Head lamp 100W, 4 channel, programmable, intgrs effects (delay, chorus, flanger, tremolo), footswitch noon.

UTILIZATION

The beast is very well thought out and extremely versatile. You can record 99 banks of 4 presets. Then, there's more that the recall via pdalier.
Rglages the effects are via a knob divided into three types of effects: the more you turn, the more frquence effect increases. However, the delay has rglages more complete, which is apprciable (delay, feedback, etc..). The same pdalier is equipped with a switch for tap tempo. Very convenient.
Only small BMOL I find: rverbe Whereas the effect is, so if you want dsenclencher effect is the dsenclenche rverbe. Too bad, I think.

SOUNDS

You can almost do anything with.
The clean sound is very good, very crystalline, but not too cold. This can be done by pushing the gain cruncher, but if you want a sound that remains clear in all circumstances, no problem.
The crunch channel is nice, even if I have trouble exploiting low saturation. It gives a nice distortion by pushing up the gain boost.
Lead and Ultra channels each offer very specific on distos, ranging from low levels of gain saturation very levs. Rside the difference in tone: each has its own personality (the Ultra as the mtal plus shipping).
The effects are good quality.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 2 years, and I think I did not exploit all its capabilities. Its strength is its versatility and its sounds of very good quality.
I have not tried other models, since the era of my purchase, no other amp did not offer many possibilities for this award.
Today, I would compare well a JVM 410H.
