SOUNDS

Used Ibanez Musician (humbuckers) and Fender Telecaster (single)
This amp is exceptional for the quality of its clear channel. He returns with a remarkable accuracy and transparency personality and subtleties of the instrument (shades selections between different microphones) and the game (attack ...). Even at high volume (60w!) The sound is clear, with excellent dynamics.
The drive channel is not unusual, distorted sounds are not what makes the value of this amp.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it in 1980 ... Construction made in japan, high quality, no loss in over 30 years (not used throughout the period, far from it)
Plus: fabulous clear channel
The least: drive channel
Quality / Price: This is the vintage that is found only occasionally. More rare than 60w 30.
If you want a good clean sound amp, you can bridge the Bolt!
