UTILIZATION

The grip is so maddening it is simple. Is connected, you press the switch and go my kiki. You go from one channel to another with a push of a small button in the middle of the head (possibility to connect a footswitch). Only this sometimes limits rglages simplicity, of the knobs actually quite few, and DIFFERENT from one channel to another. Note by the cons quite nice reverb, which acts on both channels.
Ct brief use, very simple in terms of grip, but quickly limit.

SOUNDS

I tried the amp with various types of guitars (Stratocaster, Les Paul, BC Rich ...) and my opinion is shared no matter what type of guitar. The clean channel is very good in my opinion, it can get very nice sound accompaniment or solos (ideal for jazz, for example). The crunch can venture into bluesy sounds very catchy, and the reverb should any type of solos!
on the other hand when switching to channel saturated I must confess that by pushing the crunch channel bottom clean and lowering the volume we get a much better disto. The sound is dirty (grunge fans, you'll be filled) and it is difficult to obtain distos own (I know, one distal own is silly as a concept, but you'll certainly understand what I mean) .
To summarize, a clear channel super hlas the opposite channel is saturated fast low limit and versatile.
Personally, I mainly use this amp by connecting a multi-purpose (in this case a Korg AX1500G). So I use the channel to clear out the sound of my multi-effects, and from this point of view I am fully satisfied. I arrive obtenier the sounds I s desire (my famous distos "clean").

OVERALL OPINION

It will make two years when I use this amp and I am fully satisfied when I use it with my multi purpose. But when I use the amp without effects, I'm just the clean channel, I really distorted sounds pretty inefficient.
You should know that I bought the amp (300euros, very good value / quality prices all the same) in order to be able to just play hard (especially for gigs) with the sole objective of plug in my multi purpose. And it fills very well this function. But if you do not have bills and you love to play several styles you may be the by this amp. Unless you branch your Plutt blues, jazz, and rock at its dirty.
I inquired about several amps before and I acqurir also tried several. I t seduced by the ratio / quality and price that it is equipped with a pre-amp lights (even if it must be said, all components are between the end). This is a good affordable amp two bodies, but imperatively try to see if it matches your expectations, or prvoir effects plug.
If I had to buy an amp with the same budget, I would do certainly raise this choice.
