Head while transistor
500Watts 2 ohms, 350 into 4 ohms 8 ohms 200
Classic Jacks and Speakon connectors
Settings: Sub bass, low mids, high mids, mids, bass, treble, volume and drive!
Sub bass gives the phenomenal bass worthy of the SVT VR that I had before

UTILIZATION

This gives the sound you want very easily because the knobs are very effective, configuration is simple! No need to band equalizer!

SOUNDS

For Rock trio that I play with 2 specifying expected is the Fender bass up!
I get the fat as well need the trio pushing 5midi approx.) The sub bass and very light drive (2-3env) are the other knobs at noon!
I love the sound very round and serious, I hate heavy distortion and crystal, I use no effect
I use it with a cabinet (into 4 ohms) Big Bertha SWR home Eminence Kappa Pro-mounted 2 LF 600 watts each program 1200Watts 2400 in Crete! Insanity! I am considering changing this to 2 speaker cabinets, always by 15 inches but neodymiom! Question weight

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months! It replaced an SVT Vr weighing huge break my back! With only 13-14 pounds I am filled and do not regret the change
The small flat! The knobs! Very nice, all chrome but to see the setting in the dark is a bit pénalisant.je will replace them with Vox (or Hiwat)
30 years since I almost tried everything (Hiwat, Sound City, Marshall, Sunn, Fender, Ampeg etc.
€ 700 for German mail order is a great value!
I would do without hesitation the same choice!
The existing header in 1500Watts. Given the available power on the 500 I wonder how one can use such a reservation!
