Hybrid combo with a transistor preamp and a tube power amp, 25W announced that actually (according to Pigale VHM) about power 17/18W finally ample.
An effects loop, reverb
2 jack:
- One that sends a snapping sound
- One that provides a more muffled sound
I can not tell you if it's a guitar or not active micro ...
On the clean channel: a "mid shift" less aggressive button down a bit high mids, with a softer sound
The line output on the rear does not mute the HP amp is not the case everywhere for what I said.
UTILIZATION
I have a strat, it fits perfectly with this amp in the clear, no need to fiddle with the knobs for 107 years until it sounds.
As against the overdrive channel is "totally crap", so I quickly bought a SansAmp GT2 after to compensate for this (big) low, hence my rating "6/10 right"
SOUNDS
I am a huge fan of the clear sound I get with my Stat and this amp, pure Fender, hot and banging, perfect for blues or pop-rock, jazz pkoi not also (this is not my register indeed).
OVERALL OPINION
Bought new in 1993 when I started playing (without experience), I used it thoroughly for 5/6 years before then buy another combo bigger, more powerful, stereo, home made by a friend. But next transportability it became problematic. So I'm back to my old Fender lighter and compact.
2 entries Jack and the Send / Return to start messing around, I took him for review in VHM in Paris beginning in 2013 for a small check-up. In passing the 12AX7 was replaced by Electro-Harmonix and HP replaced with a Celestion Black Shadow had given me a friend. Result: I rediscovered my amp ... in much better!!!
The clean sound is even better than I remembered. More importantly, the overdrive channel has become exploitable! I'm not saying he is not insane, but he still sounds pretty while before it was shit.
THE BIG FAULT: Reverb has a nice sound but is placed after the preamp and BEFORE the send is super idiot I think!
Since the loop I have my SansAmp and a Nova System which integrates two preamps, I am forced to ignore the reverb from my amp (which ultimately is not a problem because I have super reverb on the Nova System)
Is what I would do the purchase?
- For my champ25 in its current state with the mods: yes without hesitation, I love it!
- For non champ25 origin, because there other amps "all-tube" that better sound origin, gender Peavy Classic 30.
