100w amplifier transistor, two channels: clean (or crunchy) or overdrive (two types). Numriques Intgr effects: reverb, chorus, delay, flanger, an effects loop, from a cd, a headphone output, two buttons footswich (clean / drive and FX on / off, except the reverb ), an unlikely simulator lamps ... All adj t crit on CHARACTERISTICS of the craft. On paper, the possibilities seem plutt many.

UTILIZATION

The knobs are nice enough of them be, should not have done Normale Sup to understand what they do. As for obtaining the sought-l a can be complicated: a transistor Marshall does not have all the qualities of his great ERRF lamps, but it has the assurment d defects. The qualisation (3 knobs per channel, plus the outline for the overdrive) is good, but the tense of rglages less than what is done with Fender and others. Thus, it is possible that you're looking dsesprment sound never find it. If so, is that you tromp your brand.

The main difficulty in using this amp is the management of Difference vomume sound when switching on the clean channel, the clean simple crunch (which can be done at the base, by the way): you must see the gain, see the volume on the guitar, otherwise the ears will bleed ...

The manual ... I do not remember, the one-l. There are suggestions in rglages I have not tried; difficult to give my opinion ...

SOUNDS

Playing mostly rock, I should be happy, I am told.
Its clear this amp does not me, and there must be a package for her a little hot. The crunch is probably the most satisfying of all. The overdrive is not glaobement gnial the ODD1 well rgl can make something decent, Marshall quite a round, but ODD2 draft that is powerful. I prfre the overdrive of my old Ibanez 25w. The effects are Intgr pluttpnibles rgler, including the speed of the flanger or delay, and are extremely cold. The simulation of lamps is a fun oddity: it is clear that a sound better when it is switched on, so why can give us the cut? And good RVer should not mean that it is not at all lights. Obviously, this amp sounds better with my Squier Start with a US ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have this amp for 5 years. In the era (and still is) the quality-price ratio does not seem dgueu, and he did not in fact silent. If I remember correctly, I bought this amp new for 425 euros the era, on the advice of a friend and without another try. I'm used extensively in RPET and in concert, and yes there has rsist the many journeys. That said, like a friend has the same amp and the same problem, I exposed them. The footswitch has beautiful mtal be in the indoor, trs is fragile, and he like me have to change it. Another view evokes the second problem, and I want to tell him he is not alone: ​​the fan, in addition to noise, is struggling to launch After a few months of use, must turn on the amp and wait a happening ... Also - but I live in the Pas-de-Calais, where it rains all the time - a few knobs srieusement start cracking. Honntement, this amp well dpann me but when I bought it I knew nothing, and I would have to choose a less powerful MODEL. 100w, even in the transistor, a does not grow back to play in cafés or BPS. And when we play indoors, the sound transplanted everything, then has not frankly intrt. After a few years, between the footswitch can lcher any time, the fickle fan, spitting the knobs (especially the master volume, which causes variations of incontrles volume), j 'I find it difficult to trust him. I want my AC30!

That said, I will I even qualify my remarks. My buddy has the same amp and almost the same problem ... love it
