Amp hybrid with a lamp and Marshall ECC83 is heard well in the saturation (which I changed because the marshall of some concern) that have nothing to do with the MG series. This is 100 watt marshall, but its volume is not very high (like what the transistor). The connection is very simple, on the facade for the guitar input and a headphone jack on the back, out with an HP emulation and effects loop adjustable -10 / +4 dBV is used as a multi-effect pedals or pedals .
It has 3 channels. Clean with a gain-volume-3-band eq, a crunch and distortion with separate gain and volume but even equalizer. After you have the master volume and presence and the volume for the effects loop and the effects built into the amp (16) adjustable by 2 buttons: volume and intensity / frequency (depending on whether a reverb or delay) .
Too bad the eq is the same for the crunch and distortion ...

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration with three channels and effects loop is sometimes bad the crunch ale the same as the distortion EQ, when you love to have separate sounds good but ...
As soon as you plug your guitar sound direct you typed Marshall, a rather warm crunch but still a bit sharp (transistor must not be forgotten either), a clean but fairly neutral going well, although a dense ideal disto rock / hard rock. It is closed and it brings what to the low 2 * 12 but is welcome nonetheless.
The manual is simple but have everything, including settings to find the amp.

SOUNDS

Scoop has a button on the crunch and distortion will dig up the mids and low to obtain a sound neo (neo neo punk metal all that ...) On the distortion we understand why, on a little crunch less. There is a touch bright on the clean channel, this key for acute boosts a more crystalline, useful when using dual microphones. Is obtained quickly sounds very acceptable with all the modes, it is a very versatile amp, although it remains very focused on the rock.
I will put some minor drawbacks though. It is a hybrid Amli so do not expect a sound with all lights but the saturation is much prettier than that of MG, for example. The crunch lacks some serious compared to the other two channels, but rather by anecdotal against the Scoop switch on the distortion makes the highs a little too garish in my opinion, but it is still useful because otherwise the distortion would be typed and oldschool very medium for me. I opted to put me an EQ in the loop and from the nickel stamp is by making compromises with all the different EQ.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over 4 years and it disappoints me a little now, but that's because I want to light and because I make music in a really intense, unlike when I l I bought it or just to play in my high school rock band. I love the fact that there have three channels, now I could not play without for sure. I try MG100 before and frankly even if there is only one lamp in the AVT is simply saving it as a distos mg (transistor) are very dirty and cracked all over, then c ' mastered is much, much prettier. It is midway between lamp and transistor and I had to wait 3 years of practice to begin to get tired of his side transistor, so it goes. Especially when you see me do the mouth in front of big heads all lamps that are worth three times the price of this combo ... I have become particularly demanding ...
Otherwise the fact that the distortion "scoopée" is weaker than the crunch is a bit boring because you end up quickly with the distortion to the crunch 10 to 6 and 5 to clean so we spent a little time to the balance between the channels and the master, but when we used to, I put any more time than anyone else with a multichannel amp. I got it for just under € 700 five years ago (and it was almost nine out that's why I paid a little expensive), in the same situation, at the same time, I probably do it again the same choice, but now my budget and my requirements have changed.
