I for a month, but I had another for a year in 2004-2005. Only change, and importance, it now contains an HP celestion seventy eighty G12P-80. Incredible value!
3 channels, in fact, an option with clean overdrive and a very versatile saturax with voicing and
gain extended (from tough to clean).
3 band eq for the clean / overdrive and two bands for saturax. The channels are footswitchable, and without any siouplait bed.
As his reference does not indicate the power is 40 watts rms as is 65 watts and by connecting another hp 8ohms. There is a jack behind, along with a line out jack format ditto.
It is already very complete, and in addition there is a loop (stereo jack, the point is the return) located at the entrance to the amplifier power output.

The clean sound is beautiful, warm and clear, lively, but happiness.
The crunch is also seen, good presence, you can work.
The saturax very end, voicing allows all variations, it's hot too.
The secret of his? MOSFET! These are special transistors that are closest to the sound
tubes ...
The average power is increased tenfold by the celestion is already strong. Leave a 4x12 at the local, and lugging the amp at home, no need for bigger or stronger.

The construction of the box is poor, there are mini brackets screwed to hold the signs, never seen that ... But hey you can paste lists, since the sound is good as is.
No noise, nothing, royal. But I do not use single coils only kind bruitcaster either.

Jazz, funk, blues, country, blues to power moore, metal, you can do everything with this amp is absolutely amazing.
In short, despite all my best pieces I bought this amp for home harley because its clean sound is really great, without breaking the ears of neighbors ...

For the price you will not get better, not possible, the HP is only 110 euros ...
In fact, there is no headphone jack, the best thing for this fun night is to send the signal (line out) into a multi-effect with simulated HP (korg pandora, even Paleolithic) and make the amp mute with a single jack (not welded to a wire) plugged into the effects loop.
Last observation, the amp seems to accept grudgingly pedals distortion / overdrive, I noticed the same phenomenon on the Fender bassman / twin / deluxe.
What is happening is a lack of presence and intelligibility, while the same on other amps pedals are nickel.
In conclusion, guitar and Harley-fil-basta. And what's good like that!
