UTILIZATION

On a given setting, is simple, we branch, is regulated by three bits and pieces and music.
the device itself is simple but effective.

SOUNDS

Admittedly, this type of amp is very versatile, vintage sound (probably due to his age ) is absolutely perfect when it is connected to the cabinet comes with (WEM PowerBass).
I plug in my Yamaha bass on it and the sound is warm, round, short for the way I like the old rock, French chanson, jazz ... Unfortunately, the second path is not made to plug an electric guitar but makes impeccable sound quality with my Jacobacci Rogan R2.

OVERALL OPINION

This receiver and its HP was offered me by my father who used it thirty years ago and the sound has not changed. It keeps superb quality in sound although it does not develop a power monster. He has not the versatility of amp current but is well suited to jazz and rock of the 60, 70. Found the head with his cabinet on the internet for € 400 and I think it's worth it. I do not sell it for anything in the world given the quality and design.

This is an all-tube amp that delivers 15 W, 2 ECC83 in preamp, one per channel, 2 EL84 power and an EZ81 rectifier in.
It only has two identical channels with an entry for each, gain / bass / treble. The treble knob left channel is used to start up.
It is a very basic amp with an output there but the impedance is not indiqué.Pas effects. I put 7 as there is also no stanby switch or master volume.

UTILIZATION

Configuration and simple but effective, you get quick key changes with the settings.
no manual.

SOUNDS

Yes it is quite my style of music rather access 70. I use a copy of Made in Italy vintage SG and GODIN sdxt with an occasional and OD808 as a wah-wah.
This gives the course a good light but less fishing and less crystalline than a Fender, it is also less versatile but it has a very vintage tone color. Having owned a VOX AC100 few years ago, it seems to me that the sound comes close sharply, it complies with the guitar, it's a very nice amp.
We obtain a good saturation with the gain or almost fully back.
There is no sound hateful produced by this amp.

OVERALL OPINION

I own this amp for Saturday, November 25, 2006.
It is not clutter, not too heavy that is either the head or baff and I find it very pretty.
The value for money is excellent, with 65 euros baff WEM POWER BASS (1x12), including transport. All lamps are original Mullard made in great britain, I do it again this choice without hesitation despite cosmetic grade average but more than 40 years anyway. In addition I sought a lamp amp too powerful a veiled hope very well done.
