Amplification: transistor
Connection: socket input and output of 6.35 mm and 3.5 mm auxiliary jack
Power: 15watts
Settings, two channels (clean and distortion) with volume knob for both, three knobs (bass, mid and trebble)
Effects: 4 different distortions on the channel distortion (overdrive, distortion, metal and extreme). Distortions are effects pedals BOSS. Presence of a power squeezer if your neighbor has the same musical ear you.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is very simple and intuitive (basically connecting the amplifier and LET ROCK!)
A manual? Why?
Obtaining a good sound is quite simple, the knobs are generally quite reactive.

SOUNDS

Playing a bit of all styles of music, the amplifier should not be too typical, which is the case of this little amp.
Its clean, the sound is warm and very present. In overdrive, the sound is very round but becomes sharper. In distortion, then we enter the serious lovers of big crunchy riffs. Metal, we begin e closer to a sound typed Metallica (like "Enter Sandman") and extreme, sound the trumpets (and tell your neighbors) because there 'Hat dear friends. The sound is crisp and very sharp (especially if you play beyond the 12th string).
Currently, I play with a Epiphone G-400 SG series VOX Tonelab ST and multi-effects.
The only complaint is the sound level presence, in my opinion, too much of the bass knob but the rule a little bit problem.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 months now (thin, time flies when you're having fun) and I must say I'm really happy.
Who, to my great shame, ordered on the net (the crisis, little lady, the crisis), I admit to not having tried many amp before my purchase.
The feature that I love is its ease of use. on the other hand, in my opinion, too many places prennnt bass when playing that my ears a little tired in the long run.
In terms of price / quality ratio, I think few devices are as well.
That said, in hindsight, I think I'll still hesitated with another amp style Fender Mustang.
