100-watt amplifier transistor preamp with a lamp ECC83 [12ax7]
3 channels: clean, overdrive1, overdrive2 with reverb for each channel
loundseakers taken to add an enclosure to put a headphone headset, footswitch to change channels at the base, making emulated for connecting a MIDI device, and an FX loop jack to plug in effects loop internally.
All these fields this allows a large branch and gives it a certain versatility.
other hand it is portable, robust and above all true!
He never made a bad surprise despite its almost 8 years and many rehearsals and concerts, he holds up grandpa!

UTILIZATION

The setting is really simple, everything was done to ensure this, you play, it's not like you, you correct.
Sought and the sound described as "one" comes first guitar and the one that drives do not forget it! If the sound is bad think to ask you some questions you ask. Why do I have a dirty sound? Amp? guitar? guitarist? or combination, too, amp and guitar, and guitarist, guitarist, and see Amplifier 3.
The manual? anyway no one reads the manuals even if I material is complicated, it is a French specialty, when it is very simple to solve please!

SOUNDS

The first thing to know is that it delivers the sound depends on the quality of your guitar and the output level. On the other hand I suggest you do some power dimension in action for all sounds.
it breaks down into three channels:
- The clean channel provides an array of sounds quite big, the other relatively bright tone and punchy giving him a smile.
I have a setting to provide you with: 7 bass, middle 5, 9 and reverb treeble 2.5. I personally have an Ibanez JEM (center position, intermediate or high) and a gibson les paul standard (middle or high position, these are the pickups régalges
- Allows the channel overdrive1 allows him to get out of small sounds bluesy and greasy, or to more rock black desire sympatic property. gain 2.5, bass 6.5, 4 middle, and reverb treeble 7 2.5
- Channel overdrive2 meanwhile is more incisive, his favorite playground is the rock for sure, you yet to find the groups that correspond to it.
I also have a small sound for you: gain 6.5, stroke 6.5, 6 bass, middle 4, 6 and reverb treeble 2.5.

So of course this amp does not quite, remember that it is mono and transistor. Channel FX loop is provided, so feel free to use it because it was made for!

OVERALL OPINION

I own this amp for almost 8 years it seems to me, he knew many rehearsals and concerts without fail! It is on this that I made the most progress since I bought a Marshall JCM2000 DSL602 all lamps.
Valvestate series was a popular series of amps in my day (yes, I'm 25 ...) by a whole generation of small scratch in fat with long hair and ripped jeans and Doc Martins knees, I do not know if the new series are as good, at least not in the MG series with no preamp with lamp.
The report quilted / price is excellent because it is found to aujoud'hui ue song.
I always use this amp for rehearsals, at home and some concerts because I can not part with it, more and combined with different effects it is not bad at all!
