Any single channel amp 50w lamps (very very sturdy!) Equipped with two 5881 power
and three 12AX7 in Pramp.
I bought the used mine and it seems to date from the 90s but without certainty.
We are in the rustic:
2 not among "high" and "low" as one might think, but in fact "normal" and "brilliant" like a Vox AC30.
a basic qualisation
3 4,8,16 ohm speaker input for what is seen, and that's it ...
rverbe no, no master volume or anything else, is in rustic!
Finishing outside sometimes a little "not chre" gender ratchets "on" and "standby" white plastic that have yellowed with time ... not terrible, however the interior seems solidly built a few passable welds.

USE

As a rustic amp has rgle is easily the 50w are simply monstrous and must quickly temprer the beast lest the glares of other group members and incidentally to finish deaf. And that is the bottom lies: there is no master volume so you have to mount the volume knob to operate the lights and then it is really very strong! A Marshall JCM900 100w can largely go get dressed.
I remdie this gap using my Boss LS2 as mixer: I lower the volume knob on the pedal and I get it on the amp, I and operates the lamps of the amp. I'm not finding that the two volume knobs was interdpendant as stated below.
5 August 2007. EDIT: finally the knobs are interactive and play the role contour ...

SONORITS

I have read several times on the net that this amp was the replica of the Soviet JCM800 2203 (on which I played): I see no relation between the two, no common share that they are both "single-channel"
This is actually the replica (as mentioned below) of Hiwatt Custom 50 (of which I have also played this allows me to compare). To me, this is a striking experience to play on an amp or Marshall or Fender typ ... it's Hiwatt, or rather the Sovtek: English design, Russian military construction.
Let the sound: the crunch Mig 50 does not at all with the origins lamps, it switches to channel "normal" bourr of fishing, a slamming, outstanding dynamics and bass vibrating the walls! This is also my prfr.
The "bright" channel is equally dynamic but is much more slamming (normal say to me for a bright channel) but sacrifices a little low and can rvler a little too bright. I like less.
I play a Gibson Les Paul Studio guitar, I go through a marshall Shredmaster for heavy sounds and then by a DOD Grunge for sounds that tear, and a tear! which seemed a little winded on a JCM900 survitamin becomes the mig and Marshall cabinet on the same basic! When I plug in my cabinet is 2x12 house, I get great sound clear as saturated I put 10 without hsiter

NOTICE GLOBAL

This amp is really incredible. I had a veritable love with this amp, I nevertheless bought the blind, and I do not sulk my pleasure to possder a somewhat unusual with this amp sound so amazing.
It can be criticized rustic ct time effects and simulation hp or bundled, but not me GNE.
The only unknown for me is the reliability of the beast, follow.
The price quality ratio is exceptional, I pay 400E, but it may rvler against catastrophic in case of bad surprise. Mine is 100% original and I'm lucky to be fallen on him.
I purchased a gold 12AX7 Tung ground to see if I can do a little cruncher the beast but I do not know what was going to give, j'diterai to tell a.
