Amp-65W 4ohms in any transistor, but that sounds a lamp can I find ...
-2 Pramp channel volume knob with a "voice"
Equalizeur 5-100Hz-250Hz band-500Hz-1kHz-2kHz.
-Effects loop, line out, headphone and output to another HP.
-Possibility to add a footswitch.

UTILIZATION

The manual I've ever used and I have never had ... simple configuration ... I have a compressor over AIM ...
brief ... even when I had this amp 12 years!
The potentiomtre produce no parasite but if we branch dconnent low active! I am obliged to put the knob of 100Hz and lower back while the others at least to have a VBAC my Thunderbird's correct!
Otherwise it is a good amp for beginners.

SOUNDS

So l. .. is the drama ... For a year this amp into the road for rpetions ... it is true that for a 65 watt balance is pretty good and had a trs sound! But he DGRAD over the years ...
I take the knobs of which expemple dconnent: If you push the bottom of 2Khz, small "pet-pet" is prosuisent and seeing "limit active" will flash to the rhythm of "pet-pet." ..
Then he started to saturate for nothing!
Example: before I used it on scne times without thunder and he walked with the knob of the prampli 5 and 7 of the amp ...
Now I use repeating with the volume of the preamp and that 7 of the amplifier 10. Why 10? because the preamp saturates more than the amp, so I try to lower the volume of the preamp and the amp privilgier ... But I want to be heard repeating, so I have to put no less than 7 and if I do not hear me ... of course ... but it saturates with my drummer covering my sound has not hear ...
Moreover, its HP a little "pouarf pouarf" with saturation ...
So many big cat and a shame because this amp dpart rang well!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since 2009 and began to let go over time. Too bad ...
C'tait my first amp and now I use an Ashdown Mag 300 combo is much more solid and hard though ...

quality-price ratio I would say blah ... but I do not know what to think of this amp as it sounded good to dpart ... It may be I who can put an end ... Harley Benton at the same time has had a prvoir between active!

I like:
-Power to a 65W.
HP-his "heavenly".
-In ....

What I like about it:
-Sa dgradation over its use.
His-knobs that dconnent.
-Lack of a compressor.
-The Absensi between an active
