UTILIZATION

Simplissime config, modify the settings one after the other and presto, it saves one of the two slots arranged.
Or it simply presets home (2 per amp)
Or they simply remains in "manual".

Negative point (large): No knobs on the front ... it is original but very boring to use. No way to know which channel you're a single glance. I think a good tinker pti mirror hinged to alleviate this concern. (It is possible to place it on the field but ... it would humhum ridiculous anyway lol)
No reverb general, it is one of effects! Some effects include it in their settings but ... I like having independent reverb.
Positive: Changing the lamp preamp without any disassembly. Direct access to the lamp is provided in the head!
Knob output power independent of the preamp. So the preamp can stay in background while playing with only ten watts, ideal for performance while playing quietly at home.

I bought this head at a good price, but the first attempt I realized a loss of power in the wake of the attack.
So I changed the original lamp (EH 12AX7) for RUBY 12AX7AC5 HG + and frankly, it works as hell. 2 min and the replacement was done ;-)
(24 € on www.audiotubetech.com received 48 hours)

SOUNDS

I plug in the head on a 2x12 "Marshall 1936 (Original HP Celestion G12T) and it sounds great! It drools a little pti but this concern will be resolved once and for good HP installed. I strongly believe to be on my Celestion V30 4x12 "

This head is suitable for many uses and styles, is also purpose ^ ^
For my part, being very metal, I am totally satisfied! And at this price, there is not even hesitate.
I use the 2nd config because my other body remains at the scratch of one of my groups and that's fine. Its small size and the combination of a 2x12 "can have big sound without lugging a rack Norman ;-) No need to fold the seat of my car, but happiness: D

I play mostly on a Dean Dime Dixie Rebel (Seymour Duncan SH13 Dimebag signature in bridge) and a Hardmaster Lag (made in France of course!) Equipped with Seymour Duncan Blackout AHB1 (active 9V)

OVERALL OPINION

MORE:
Q / P excellent
Big range of sounds (quality)
Small size
Ease of Use
Output power adjustable (while keeping the preamp background)

LESS:
No reverb general, it is part of the effects (a duet on some as chorus, flanger ...)
Knobs on top.
Combination of knobs to adjust the required effects (2 additional knobs would probably cost too much ...: - /
