GP7 in fact it is 7 BAND PREAMP GRAPHIC but it is a GP7-715.

Front:
It's a combo 100 watts into 4 ohms transistors.
jack inputs high and low (sensitivity), rglaque gain knob with LED indicator Crant + saturation
pr button-shape (position = slap with mdiums creuss)
7-band EQ + switch (after the gaffe on the white plastic sliders are easily the trunk)
in and line out, effects loop and headphone
Volume (knob also Crant)
Derrire:
2 speaker outputs (4 ohms minimum load)
The heatsink of transos that takes up half the width of the amp (so it's good for the holding power of the amp)
Power switch

Part 15-inch speaker bass reflex tweeter without, HP 100w 4ohms Tiquet trace elliot in it?
all coated with a plastic sheet trsrsistante shock and with corners and grips mtalliques latrales (welcome given the weight of the machine).

simple but effective and strong (except HP ... see below) and a little too heavy ... (30kg)

UTILIZATION

There are not too widen the head. One branch, you play the pre-shape alone is a good basis for dj sounds slap but also plans for walking, playing with the tonality of the instrument.
It may well narrow recess with 7 EQ bands (50100230500 1k and 2k + 5k - 15 dB) effective trs (a recess is a breath if you push the bottom but EQ this is normal and snoring a bit if you play sitting on the combo with a passive bass too well shielded in the cavity of electronic but it's also normal)

SOUNDS

= Trace elliot sounds ultra clean and punchy impeccable funk, jazz, reggae, rock .... just short styles. Note: there is no tweeter then slap sound is possible but it will not be sharp chattering.
Sr is for rock, blues mtal or may need to be a prvoir pramp lgre or saturation as the amplifier can saturate (by adjusting gain and volume ) but produced .... sounds like fuzz, not great with the bass (except spcial DSIR effect but there are pedals for a).

Importantly, the original HP is using trs. I gun by the con with low delay and with too much feedback for spatial effects (smoke so avoid it). replaced by a boomer who cashed Beyma PA 300W (and certainly a better sensitivity) the amp silent transform. More volume (although the silent Beyma an HP 8ohms), a more clean high volume and the possibility of another pair without cabinet down below 4 ohms mini agreed to by the amp (with a baffle Additional, for example, a 4x10 complter the 15 "no problem even with a volume of drummer who bangs).
Note 9 incorporates the new HP.

OVERALL OPINION

I used to 1997 2003 in RPET and concerts (bar and scne) and in 1997 he dj 3 or 4 years.
most: simple, sturdy and versatile. Sound punchy and clean any evidence.
Cons: a little heavy transport but it's OK with the grips, using HP (but one time changed by a hold out is that Bonnard). No tweeter for the slap crazy.
It was the first "big" amp I've used (yes, my first one was a rather funny 20W) and from the latter, it wasn't bad at all (except for this small history of HP).
it's serious stuff, I do not know the original price of that era (has had to turn around 7000 francs) it was good entry level stuff (trace elliot range when same). on occasion has may be worth taking into account the cost of a replacement HP (eminence delta 15 for example) or an additional speaker DIY (2x10 or 4x10 with a tweeter has done so).

see from the current 15-inch combo with ... (Ashdown, warwick? cheap but made in China, they announced 200 or 300 watts but it's not sr they sound louder than a good 100W with a good HP because HP has made much of her but also much of the price).
