UTILIZATION

It is deceptively simple: the knobs to turn, a "notch" to save a afiche 2 x 7 segment to read the num prog ...

Preamp: level of
Buzz: Boost / saturation serious
Punch: Boost / cut / saturation of mediums
Crunch: Boost / cut / saturation of acute
Drive output level of the pre-preamp, the saturation dose global
Bass and Treble: EQ active preamp post
Level: general level.

OVERALL OPINION

I like the sound, the knobs available on the connector.
I like the least difficulty setting (although I think it sounds anyway ...)
Good quality price, but the midday light pramps not lgion ... ADA MP, Marshall JMP-1 and the recess TriAxis but that's another fee.

I had long coveted, I esay the JMP-1, that I do not versatile enough.
