two channels (clean and overdrive) with an adjustable bass, midrange and treble in two common
+ Reverb

UTILIZATION

OVERALL OPINION

the strength of this amp is its weight (very light) for a 40W (good is necessarily a hp) when he delivers a big power (AC repeats easily covers a drummer)

I bought three years ago for 120euros secondhand (as I believe it cost over $ 200 new, but it was almost new so I had little hesitation
I do not know if I would do this purchase (as the delorean marty mcfly of no more ..) in any case I have been very useful and it looks to be strong in time
a little disappointed when even a brand as prestigious HIWATT ..
