(Originally written by sonic.life/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
Solid-state amp with internal effects. The rated power is 100 watts, the amp has two 12" speakers, it uses the FDD technology and is sold with a footswitch.
UTILIZATION
Very easy to use. Nice clean sound. The settings allow you to switch between clean and lead sound via the footswitch without any loudness difference. Useful user's manual.
SOUNDS
I play heavy metal, surf rock, indie, punk, pop, etc, and this amp matches all these music styles. I play a Fender Jaguar equipped with Seymour Duncan Hotrail pickups. I like the overdrive and distortion sound of this amp. The clean channel provides powerful lows but the settings allow you to personalize the sound. I can spend hours with the lead channel and a reverb playing surf rock solos. I haven't tested the output power yet (I live in an apartment) but 2 x 50 watts ought to be enough!
OVERALL OPINION
I've had it for eight hours and it offers an excellent value for money. I used to play with a Peavey Rage 158 and this new amp is a nice improvement. I would buy it again. The amp's only disadvantage is its weight: it's very heavy!
Update 2008: with a bit more experience, I now find the lows too loud. I have to turn the treble control fully up and the bass control fully down in the clean channel. Although the problem could actually be my guitar...
