As has been said, it's a hybrid amp, which means that the boosted channel (2 different drives) the preamp is equipped with a lamp. It is possible to change the texture of the saturation by changing the lamp.
The only regret is the lack of master volume, and difficult to have audio at low volume.
The exact power is 90 watts, they are there.
The connection is complete, can add a cabinet, effects loop, line out, the pedal control is complete with bright, saturated and 2 and a reverb foot.
The tone controls are excellent
The reverb is divine to 3.
I noted at 7 because of the lack of master.
UTILIZATION
Setup is simple, a single entry, with a volume equalization for clear sound, an equalizer for the drive, each of the two drive to its volume and level of drive.
It is easy to find a good amount of sound a little volume.
The manual can be downloaded from the net.
SOUNDS
The clean sound is typical fender, that is to say delicious, with fishing and beautiful grain. From jazz to funk blues. He respects more original sound of the guitar connected.
The advantage of the drive is that there are two chancun with their volume, so it is possible to set the first for a slight crunch and send the second-saturated or not for solos for example.
With my tube screamer pedal and the amp so I have five opportunities distorted sounds.
I use the effects loop for modulation effects, the tube screamer is live.
This is certainly not an all-tube, but it is an excellent hybrid, powerful and musical.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a year, what I love about this amp is the sound of the Fender clean channel first.
For saturation, I play with a rather mild saturation, so it goes, but I think that it is suitable for metal, albeit with a specific pedal, we should try.
The value of this amp is to have a good amp, musical, versatile, reliable and strong for about 250/300 euros.
This choice I would do without hesitation.
