15 watt lamp
2 channels
no effects loop
no standby

UTILIZATION

Now is the right sound on channel 1, and requires a superhuman effort on channel2:
adjust gain and volume modeling once chosen;
What all is not preprogrammed on this amp? Well no, that's the main interest of channel 2 is used for making the sound!
what makes it a true 2-channel amplifier with 2 sounds totally different
and channel 2 sounds very very good too unlike what I've read ...

SOUNDS

Channel 1 crystalline type fender, normal
English Channel 2 clean, crunch, saturated, full of possibilities
with 16 positions, especially as some modélisent
compression from the amp emulated (no no not a failure ...)
Acoustic position can play the violin or electric
electroacoustic guitar with a sound very nice;
effects are not terrible, but the reverb and saves the day
is quite usable, making this amp totally autonomous;

Note that stratos, rickenbacker pickups and sound P90
very good;

OVERALL OPINION

2 months of use, that's not the sound I wanted (tinny terror) but
not bad at all, technically less complete than the peavey windsor, but more versatile because of its channel model and is very small, and as my predecessor, I think it's the best 15 watt amp in the world!
connected on a 12 inch is the revelation, but it is not very powerful
anyway to play clean beware! with 10-inch 6 / 7 in this volume
already saturated, and this is the HP that saturates, not the amp;
So it remains an amp salon and studio can be repeated and if
Billy Cobham's not the drummer ... but with a nice sound
lamp ...
successful mission for 200 euros and a few square centimeters opportunity!
