Is essentially what!

UTILIZATION

Config simple.

An EQ per channel, it leaves the freedom from clear and full.

Here is a manual?

SOUNDS

Good amp for rock to metal.

It's not a JCM but the lamp of the preamp is doing its job. The two gain distortion is not thoroughly ridiculous for the metal.

The contour knob changes the sound deep, with a nice little range.

The light is not great, lacks a bit of heat, but by adding effects, so good.

The reverb is not his strong point in my opinion.

OVERALL OPINION

I carted this amp around for ten years and I never had to worry about. Reliability guaranteed!

The head is small and light (as transistor) so easy to carry, which is good practice to repeat.

By turning the reverb (or by putting the other), and cutting (or replacing) the front plate, you can drag a rack in the receiver, which allows to get a head "while a" hyper convenient to carry. It's really good ...

There is no miracle, the sound is not that of an all-tube amp, but it's really a good product anyway. Connected to a good Bafle (eg bowls V30), it sounds even surprise really not bad.

To believe that his sidekick the HP 8412 is not up to ....?
