Transistor amplifier equipped with two HP 65W celestion of each
Advertised power: 100 watts

Input jack or XLR

A clear channel and a channel saturated, it features a boost mode, which increases the saturation and relief.

Only one simultaneous effect, to choose from: reverb, echo, flanger and chorus. (Bad)

Insert effects, line out, just the standard ... but no headphone

Line out to go through a rudder for miking a sound system ...

No pedal switch delivered (regrettable)

UTILIZATION

Little or no manual, simple and traditional.

THE SOUND IS VERY GOOD AND VERY POWERFUL.

It is ideal if one seeks the sin but not necessarily gadgets.

SOUNDS

Personally, I am using as its clear, because I had no power "distortion" to amplify just the settings on my pedal-ToneLab SE.

I had some fears, getting the clean channel a big mush, until I thought to turn the emulation of the enclosure (not amp) of my presets tomelab-SE.
Finally my old neurons are connected, and I got nirvana ... Frankly, I'm happy now!

I then tried "direct", its a lot of saturated ... It reacts like a real cat, but I have little experience with good amps. In any case, my previous amp (a Marshall Valvestate 8080) was next to ridiculous.

I play progressive rock, Porcupine Tree style. it should without any problems. For the metal without additional effect, ca will not, I think.

I have one guitar, a Vigier Excalibur, with Seymour humbucker.

Warning: can not use at home, failing to peter tiles or pellets neighbors ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have for quite some time, but I've played a lot on it.

Before buying, I compared to 100W Marchall and a Fender 100w in the same price range (I can not remember the model), no problem, he sprayed.

What I boot most: power. No saturation on the clean channel, even with a volume to scare everyone (important Because my ToneLab SE)
The sound is loud but very clean, there should be two Celestion for sth!

What I boot the least: it is heavy, and I do not know who these guys (Kustom), but hey, it looks sturdy and is guaranteed for two years. Little or no doc ... No pedal switch

The power-to-price (negotiated in less than 400 euros) seems really interresting.

Can only agree to a musicos who need many effects ...
