Combo 80W (rms) as the name implies. Is the transistor with a lamp pramp for channel overdrive. Take a look at previous ones advice for more details.

BMOL first, the amp is standard, no doubt to the potential buyer can easily understand why it is more expensive than the 8040 ... It is heavy and pnible carry, but sturdy. Never had a problem with the pdalier, apparently well made.

The original lamp was cram after 4 years

UTILIZATION

The configuration of the amplifier could hardly be simpler, the receiver supports a lot of stress, I lug around every 5 years .. any problem of this ct.

The footswitch allows you to enable / disable the reverb, and of course to move the channel to clean lead. Too bad we can not go from clean to crunch and a lead in lead 2 with the foot (and vice versa).
Eq indpendante depending on the channel used (clean and lead).

Short simple and effective, even when damage to the footswitch limit.

SOUNDS

I play on a lag Rockline std for the saturation I often use a Zoom Tri-metal. I play a lot of neo, but the coolest stuff: radiohead, smashing ...

Power level for an apartment is more than enough for a repeated or a concert is mostly limited to the directory mtal, say it still lacks at least 20 W. I had the opportunity to play in stereo on two 8080 concerts, silent power then sufficient.

Level quality sound on clean channel is quite satisfactory, even if it is clean trs pushing hard enough for the transistor is happening is not the strong point of amplicependant.

The Crunch channel is limited, it will pass without problem sen, it offers little intrt.

The lead channel offers its relativevement close to a light amplifier, a change of synthetic low distortion amplifiers in the same range, it has something extra (well actually a lamp. For cons must not too esprer out metal sound from beyond the grave, the sound is plutt rock / Noisy. The 8040 offers a better distortion, but less power Obviously.

The Reverb is passable, but it at least has the MRIT to exist, 've heard of worst amps lamps ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use since 8080 for a lease, end of the 90 THE REFERENCE c'tait hybrid amps. In the silent era it was not given in OCCAZ can be a good plan to take things too violent (in concert).

It's a versatile amp that does not really sound bad, even if it is far from the quality of an amp lamps. Probably the best amp This category in this era of price range.
