    Head + speaker
    Transistor preamp
    Amplification by two EL34 tubes
    Low level input and high input
    Setting volume, treble and bass
    No adjustment of the output impedance
    Enclosure equipped with a large but single HP 12 "
    Assumed power 40 watts

    UTILIZATION

    Extremely simple to use: 3 knobs to turn

    SOUNDS

    Good dynamic
    Saturates when cranked, but it may be a consequence of fatigue lamps ...
    Power OK for home and rehearsal but not for the concerts, the power being insufficient to offset the highly directional closed cabinet.

    OVERALL OPINION

    The sound is very good compression of the lamps is very nice.
    Amp relatively rare but to buy if the opportunity arises. If Eko beginning to be sought, it is not necessarily the same with the GEM. So enjoy it if the opportunity presents.

    amplifier power stage hybridized with tube preamp and transistor (like musicman), 2 inputs high and low volume treble bass 3 potentiometers a selector Power and a cavity for the fuse (there is nothing on the back cover)

    UTILIZATION

    bah is not good drive 3 knobs ...
    Manual not needed anyway I do not
    very good clean sound! with TS808 is great too!

    SOUNDS

    it suits me perfectly (rock / blues), it accepts pedals well, but it is a bit short if there is not a pedal to give it a little boost

    OVERALL OPINION

    amp nice, rare choice I would do this without hesitation
