Amp 100W lamps preamp (12AX7) front input jack, footswitch jack for 3 buttons, effects loop with adjustable impedance, output hp (8ohms minimum), spring reverb

UTILIZATION

Using very simple and intuitive 3 channel, one clean one overdrive distortion channel clean is to set volume and bass mid and treble, the distortion channels have gain over and over gain disot bass acute and medium volume. passage of the canal to clean canals distos a switch, and channel distortion in overdrive by another switch.
Adjust its sound is very easy and quickly you get what you seek but it should still be well know to have a specific (time of heating lamps, different answer ... etc etc) no manual. the reverb is engaged by a switch and a knob is used for mixing dry and wet, and another knob adjusts the dry and wet from the effects loop.

SOUNDS

It's been six years since I played it with different musical styles, blues-rock heavy metal black metal, and has always satisfied. While this is not a big all-tube distortion with a death but more than enough.
The sound is extremely clean crystalline slamming very personally love but it depends on taste. The overdrive is excellent very warm and versatile. The distortion is impressive for a fender, marks not really known for that. Here it is really powerful and not be fat enough, can be a little lack of precision in attack. I played with various groups with and he never gave me default, of course you have to know by heart to be eligible to play with the big sound with and adapt his game according pick but then he is bluffing. Configuration or in concert I repeat the pair to a 4 * 12 marshall is there all the amps of the same price range I've tried (including the Marshall Valvestate of its direct competitor) is not comparable in versatility and power. No concern for the potato at 100 watts is really there. Its only two large default that are obviously the guitar jack serves as the bypass switch and preamp to always unplug the amp with cutting pain of a big bed even at zero volume. The second problem is that its power is not linear. From zero to one there are only two treble and pase the spectrum comes but big power. February-May the power increases but remains really constants up to 8 and 8 where it happened really hard so it is very hard to play in his room and have a good sound at low volume.
Personally I use a jackson rr mounted with emg active and the only effect that I allow myself is placed after a dimebag wah guitar.
I give 8 for bed and that it is hard to play low with good sound.

OVERALL OPINION

Simply stunning. for all fans who love the simplicity and efficiency it is perfect. low cost, very simple, robust, personally I hate playing with a string of effects and preamp to the chain so the fact the guitar to plug directly into it and have the sound I'm looking for is perfect for me. to advise all fans of rock and even metal if they can not afford a big beast which tears and prefer the simplicity and authentic sound in a simulated transistor
