100w all-tube amp mesa (adchire). T he hard. Spread the word: it is not for a pad (which is only I changed it against a single correct). If you play with your pad, it's the same feeling as playing in a refrigerator (you can imagine)!
I play mostly metal but does not m'empche play a bit of Floyd, a little Funk, Hard as AC / DC or Deep Purple, etc..
For the technical aspect, see the other view.

UTILIZATION

The clean is easily adjustable. For channel 2 is not difficult but trs for channel 3, it takes a little time ... Anyway, the precision of knobs, has to pay! In addition, two channels switchable 3-position clean + the possibility of 2 or 8, it's cool even if I was serving as both modern and clean.
For the manual, mine silent in English a little harsh, but It is not necessary to have a manual to use an amp.
The footswitch is perfect because it possde, in addition to the three channels and mode "solo", switch "FX" for the little loop that s'avrer useful (possibility that derrire RULES because the loop can be assigned a single channel).

SOUNDS

It is extraordinary: a EHJV unthinkable, sound and volume gnial overkill (too?).
In order:
To clean: sound a little slow mtalleux slamming as "The Call of Ktulu" or "Master of Puppets" by Metallica, or as clean as "Bullet Ride" by In Flames. Trs is hot but if you have high-powered microphones, may saturate a bit (and I have X2N ToneZone DiMarzio and it is more violent than the EMG81). But it is seen by reducing the amount of the gain and master. Having tried a telecaster 60th anniversary on, trs is nice, atmosphere "still having fun" Eagle eye cherry but with a potato and a little less snap (normal, we are not Fender Twin in either).
For channel 2: the rock, hard rock or rock trs hot! A seed round with a warm amp Survolt howling of hard-80s rock. The grain is a bit like "Outta get me" but more nervous of Guns'n'Roses.
For channel 3: You're dead! In fact, it is dry and the trs palm mute is a bit messy. Survolt is a channel which, if we add the gain of the mode "solo" is perfect for the lead. It is prcis and howling like a switch to F1! In rhythm, the sound is close to Symphony X before the album "The Odyssey" (I have the same microphone as he is a bit to also).

OVERALL OPINION

It's a versatile amp but plutt ax all of the same rock. We will not have with the sound of David Gilmour languorous but the Mesa Boogie Rectifier, this is not what is asked. He normment of PCHE. It regrets the lack of reverb all the same but I just chipotte.
I kept it a year and I then took a single correct as exploitable for me (no scne, trs little rpt '), but despite this, the s preparation was tough.
