Pramp is a lamp (a 12AX7).
It was on this MODEL up to 100dB gain (tration) on the channel distortion.
Ultra simple:
-Input
-Output
-Footswitch.
There are two channels, one clean and one distortion.
I put 9 because the original lamp (Sovtek base) is a bit lazy, with an EI of 100dB we really gain.Manque an effects loop.

UTILIZATION

Clean channel: ultra simple, low, high, medium, volume.
Disto channel: simple, serious, acute, scoop (mdiums modulation), gain (has it's good), Vol.

The clean I like it (easy rgler), it is neutral but warm with good basses.Pas problem of finding a clean clean! lol.
Lacks a reverb

Saturate is the nickel, with the original lamp (sovteck) rglage the gain is not anything to del one-half is a good adj grain with little more light.
Once the gain rgl30 seconds), the scoop can get sound dsirheavy metal, rock, pop, metal), then the bass and treble are ffective trs.
Manual useless.

The interface is very simple and purer, a me plait!

SOUNDS

This pramp is perfect for me, simple, effective, and it bites! RRRRRRRRR! lol

For me is saturated with the EI 12AX7 rvele (gilou board), the gain will bottom, the grain we exchange a lot of his raproche Dimbak Darell (gain bottom, scoop in position m dium well digging). It's not for everyone!

The metal is done! But not only the rockers and other bluesmen will not be left to the width of rglages mdiums and gain. Small BMOL for blues, the grain is well-typed Rocktron's not as round marshall That a lamp.
But the old rock has been 60-70, and the heavy metal.

Rocktron is a registered plutt East mtal rock, jazz or blue so it is best to take a marshall.
I put 9 because a mesa was hard when even more!

OVERALL OPINION

has been a month since I have, and I love it!
The harmonics do not ask that out, the palm mute is imprssionnant (though my microwave are only mounted on a Duncan Designed jackson, they are not active). The sound gives a synthetic hair original kernel, nothing to see with a metal zone!

I tried a Distortion DS1 and mtal area, far outweigh the gainiac.
I tried a peavey ultra addition, mdiums of this amp are a bit dirty, so I prfre the gainiac for mdiums but the trunk is the peavey supreur (all-tube).

Excellent price quality ratio: 176 in Germany, while other brands can get dressed.
APRS least one I did not change my mind, thankfully! (It's good stuff)

Only regret: one triode lamp is used a larger lamp section aurra hard or at least the two triodes of the lamp. But the price would not be the same either!
I put a 9 because even when hard!
