-What kind of amplification (lamp, transistor ,...)?
Hybrid, ie tube preamp and amp transistors
- What is the power delivered?
80Watts RMS
- What are the settings, the effects? ...
2 channels with 2 modes each (clean / crunch and OD1/OD2)
Gain and 3-band EQ for each channel, plus a knob "contour" and one volume for the OD, a reverb, a knob "effects", a master volume, effects loop, footswitch jack

UTILIZATION

- The configuration is it simple?
Config classic, apart from the knob "contour" which changes the sound a lot but I have not yet figured out how ^ ^ '
- Gets it easy to sound good?
Obtained by two minutes the sound you want, but there are so many possible sounds you can spend hours trying all the settings!
Damage: no headphone jack, or "line out", but hey it will be easy going ^ ^

SOUNDS

- Will it fit your style of music?
It is perfect for all that is rock / metal, but also a very good sound clair.Je plays progressive metal, so I am looking for versatility, well frankly, I'm not disappointed!

- With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play?
I play an Ibanez and a Squier Start GRG06ltd. Ibz on, no problem, I can offset the lack of acute pickup with EQ of the amp, I found some clear its beautiful. the squier, believe it or not, it sounds. not as good as the Ibz, of course, but let's say I rediscovered my strata on this amp ...

- What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
In clean, nothing to say except: I love it! a powerful and hot, I found myself playing half an hour without putting on the disto ^ ^
the crunch, bah I use it a lot but it is very correct, I believe
OD1 is for rock: Beatles, Stones, Led Zep, Pink Floyd, etc.
OD2, then there bah: metal! this is my favorite channel, frankly a very good distortion, both palm mute in power chords, solos by ...

Note: I will buy a warp factor TFW, home ande Kettner Hughes, to add a big distortion Burin and cold. I had the matrix100 and I loved the warp channel ...

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
2 months, but it dates from 94 ^ ^

- What is so special that you like most and least?
most: disto! and clear sound is really good too
minimum: bah .. then he should say something: no headphone jack (not happy neighbors)

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Roland, Line6, Hughes and Kettner, ...

- How would you rate the quality / price?
Bah I say that I exchanged jpeux not say so, but OCCAZ at € 183.33, it's worth!
is to say, mine is 14 and it sounds the fire of God!

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
I will try to find one so old can be, in order to keep it longer ...
But I think I'll get into the renovation amp just for him ^ ^
