Hybrid amplifier, a lamp type 12AX7 or ECC83 in preamp and power section has transistors.
80 Watts which I moderate with a voltage divider to play at home with almost the maximum gains while keeping a proper level. (To ensure good impedance)
Power clearly sufficient to cover almost a drummer and playing outdoors on stage before an area-type village square, school yard ...
The sound is warm thanks to the lamp and can be modulated according to the model installed.
After 18 years of service, I've finally preferred a model while JCM 2000 60W lamp of the same brand of course.

By the way: rde j'em .... anyone nicknamed the mark badly Walk! Na!

UTILIZATION

Complete settings, intuitive, we come away with the sound you want. A special mention for the button that changes the contour medium range in a flash and can move from its metal than to ACDC.
Well, it depends on the guitar that one branch there of course but many of my friends tend rock / blues / hard envy me my sound. And this void!
Maybe he should expect to have forgotten the sound of Mark Knopfler but these will be oriented towards the long Fender.
The manual is lost and body well and I do not care.
It lacks a headphone output and a speaker other than that nothing. Oh yes, I fitted with solid wheels and I sit on it occasionally.

SOUNDS

For me ideal for hard rock of the 80's and early 90's. I'm not a fan of effects, I tried and eventually it fills me. It is on the pedal with gain, EQ can be given a heavier sound type the 2000s but not my thing.
He goes to the ACDC, Maiden, early Metallica, ZZ Top, but also phone, Cure, Police, etc. .... classical music actually!


OVERALL OPINION

I bought this amp because I was dreaming of a tube sound and can not afford a brand lamp was an excellent price / performance ratio.
He accompanied me for 18 years of happiness. Never any problem mail. We can change the sound by changing the lamp preamp. A 15 € room should not go without.
Today I continue the adventure on a JCM 2000 and is (obviously) better.
Well, I do not hide anymore, I love this brand. I recommend it.
