Value For Money :
Excellent
Transistor amplifier with a small amp simulation lamp that warms a little sound.
2 HP 50-watt
2 channels in the clear: gain treble bass meddle in saturation: gain volume bass treble contour
Digital effects: chorus, and delay or chorus or flanger or delay
a control level of each effect
Digital reverb
a general master
a CD input, emulated output + headphone, a stereo effects loop, can change the HP (Output 8ohms)
UTILIZATION
I have a clear channel switch / saturation and effects / no effects
lots of bass in the clear, really, when you push a little, it seems that all is farting! otherwise the sound is pretty good, fairly crystalline, slamming according to the settings.
for distortion, it is true that the sound is more difficult to resolve, I put some personal gain (about 3 / 4) and little contour (like 3 or 4) is the only way to get some sound crunch, a little "dirty", and with it a great deal in volume. But I use to never gain back, the sound sucks too!
Another boring setting: a move from clean to distortion by the sound switch keeping the same volume, not easy ...
SOUNDS
Despite these annoyances, we come to have fun! One can very well play jazz, funk, blues, rock, hard rock, but this view of the metal amp shows its limits: no présicion basically sound. The effects are not great, I use the config chorus + delay, with a relatively short delay, and control of knob bottom, it gives a good boost for solos when playing with the switch.
I play mostly blues and rock with my epiphone LP standard: blues with neck pickup tone and decreased slightly over 3 / 4, bridge pickup with a rock bottom! It happens to get great sounds and playing for hours ...
OVERALL OPINION
I've had 3 or 4 years. I like this amp in general. But it weighs a little heavy (22kg) and is not convenient to carry. The value for money is good, also there to see: he was voted best amp for this several times ...
With experience, I do not know if I would do this choice, obviously when I bought it I played a Squier 10 W! then ... I thought it was great. Now I wear it most of all-tube amp, but hey, now have to see the price difference, and also the patience of my neighbors in the face of much heated lamps ...
Edit: I changed the pickups for my epiphone PRS McCarty, the sound is much better, but I can not wait to go to an amp lamp ...
