Facade are:
/ off switch, Stand By switch, presence control, volume control (common to both channels) and a switch to activate the Deep function.
Deep function boosts the bass and the amp muscle severely, once to get angry with neighboring ...

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple, I did not have the manual when buying and I do not have needed.
The fan makes a little noise in standby but does not include at all in the game
The sound is falling, it is crystalline and renders very well the different guitars and nuances of the game, never draft.

SOUNDS

This amp is built for the stage, the power is there!
I bought it to pair with a cab4x12 mounted V30 and it's just perfect.
Used to amplify a Line 6 Pod Pro is much too powerful for my home studio but the sound of the lamps is just a treat. They provide the warmth that is often lacking modelers with a reserve of demonic power.
Funk in pots on a strat clean sound or a LP with a large distortion, everything goes and he makes us good. It never drool, precise, incisive, it's almost like the monitor sometimes.

OVERALL OPINION

Used almost every day for 8 years, this amp fills me every time.
It was my first tube amp purchase after trying various Peavey Classic 30, Fender Deluxe and Marshall JCM800.
It is a reliable, robust and high performance product. In addition, the sound quality is really good and this amp aged very well.
In time, the price quality ratio is unbeatable and I do it again this choice without hesitation.
If mine were to give up the ghost, I will replace the same.

2x20 watts power amp all lamps (1x ECC82, and 2xECC83 4xEL84), a format unit and trslger (5 pounds soaking wet. Naura level knobs on the head a lot with a single volume knob and one prsence or the bare minimum. larrire A there are two 8 ohm outputs, two 16-ohm and two output lines. Finally a switch foot deep dclechable also to add bass.

UTILIZATION

Careers News is simple, no need to take the head for hours. Too bad that is not stro Lampl, one would grate indpendamment its two outputs. Nanmoins you can only nUse quune dentre they Resistors meets a load lautre.

SOUNDS

Quoiquen some say its the wrong nest not far from l. While Marshall cest sign but there is a certain roundness even if the mediums are always l. The function is a plus as deep again in a serious blow gives boost in the bass, and personally I've never complained about men. Remains the power of 2x20 watts high honnte even if it is true what will be just a little group.

OVERALL OPINION

A Larrive this power amp sduit OF USE by its practicality and weight restricted trs making it a companion IDAL to work at home. Unfortunately this amp has a lot of default:
- The nest's not bad but there are a lot better.
- Power too just to work in groups.
- Attention overheating, the fan is ridiculously small and lvacuation dair is hot on the piercing ct jai tle on top to avoid overheating of the lamps! !
- Stereo Amplifier not, we must use both the two outputs, which receive the same signal.
- Finally I find Lampl trs is misplaced: it is sound quality level relgu the mesa boogie 20/20, and level prices for a few dollars more it offers a calm Peavey 50 / 50 more powerful, more reliable and better quality sound dune.

Stereo amplifier tube:
1 unit rack, 19 "

LAMPS:
preamp: 2 * ECC83 (12AX7) + 1 * ECC81 (12AT7)
power stage: 4 * EL84

power: 2 * 20W tube
connectors: 2 jack inputs, 3 outputs / channel (line out, 8homes exit, exit 16homes)
settings:

1 volume and a presence control for 2 channels.
Deep function (bass boost, super effective!)

Weight: 5.9 kg (with my bathroom scales ... ha ... this one, it will be brought amps!, 0))

What idea of ​​the volume and the presence of two common channel !!!!! NO, BUT WRONG CA??
Good, 8 / 10 anyway for its convenience and function deep ...

UTILIZATION

Not much to configure ...
corrections are effective (volume, presence, deep)
the manual is sufficient and clear.

on the other hand, 1 volume and a presence control for two channels, it's not terrible, because this type of setting, forcing us to be connected to each at least 2 HP, or use a load resistor to set the output of the channel that has no HP.
Indeed, the failure to connect the load and apply the volume output, will eventually damage the output in question, knowing that there is no fuse on the output, unlike for example VHT .

power is quite sufficient to play on stage, knowing that we have to dub over the sound system.

SOUNDS

The sound is good, the deep is really effective.

A good choice compared to its direct competitors: the Mesa 20/20, which is still more convenient (1 volume / presence per channel), but that does not function ... and deep sound is missing, in my taste, cruel precision compared to Marshall.

OVERALL OPINION

It is good product, not too expensive compared to equivalent products (Mesa EL84 20/20)
its a good lamp, and 5.9 kg in 1U!
Whether there would be a volume and presence for each one-way, here is a great product in this range.
But what a failure! Forcing to load the two outputs, even if we want to use one!
Go 8 / 10 anyway for the good quality / price ratio and good sound quality for this range, 0)
