Potentiometer-controlled Bass, Middle, Treeble.
Reverb-potentiometer.

UTILIZATION

Very simple to operate, the settings are lambdas as in almost all guitar amps.
The manual was not very explicit.
To get a good sound is a bit complicated, but ultimately it all depends on taste.

SOUNDS

This is my first "real" guitar amp, the overdrive provides a broad but limited sound to suit a Rock style, without going to extremes.
For sound in general, as I already said, it's a transistor amp, it's a very square, but no real depth or warmth, style rather "synthetic", whether in the clear or Overdrive.
I used my first guitar Prince P-335 and a SL house and a Epiphone Les Paul Black Beauty ... But this does not increase the sound quality provided.
I do not like the "Clean" lacks all the overdrive can be interesting in some cases.

OVERALL OPINION

I have since 1996, I used it often when I started, and then purchase a Marshall's relegated to a corner, then I came out every 2 years, just to laugh, but over time it aged, and had some problems with its "Buzz", and loss of power and volume ... I'm revising a week ago by a boyfriend, he seems to go back on track.
Its weight is not very consistent, and power can play in bars as long as you do not have a drummer too nervous!
Level money, difficult to know the time, but I think I could have found better in the same price range.
