30W transistor amp, two cranberry, HP 10 "marshmall.
* Settings:
Clean-channel: volume and equalizer two bands
Overdrive-channel: gain, volume, three-band equalizer
-Effects: type of effect (reverb, delay (with adjustable frenquence of the echo), chorus and flanger (with adjustable speed)), the effect of presence: time for the reverb, feedback for the echo, presence for the chorus and flanger depth for.
-A "simulator lamps "...! (In switch)
* Connectivity:
Alim-sector
-Input
CD-in: between one to send a signal but has no volume control on the amp and do not suffer the effects.
-Footswitch: for a switch track option (30 euros)
Headphone-Format (6.25).
Complete, no effects loop (unlike say ca catalogs) but it's not something that is very important for me (big amps do not).
In addition he has a good mouth with his pannel dor.

UTILIZATION

There is a manual for those who could not make it work without it is very simple to use, it has quickly made the rounds. Is easily obtained even if the sound overall sound of the amp lets be desired. Relatively simple even when you're not fiddling effects.

SOUNDS

Transistor in all its splandeur!
I do not use the clean channel, I find the treble too single, ca break my ears.
I use only the overdrive channel with the gain to a minimum. I then clear sound warm already (but you lose volume). But the gain really well set to 0, there is no sound and it runs a bit too, was a sort of crunch (if I may call it that) that appears a little attack that ds violently a note. Moreover, the distortion is gross, it's old transistor saturation which gives her a dirty souait feedback to limit it so much drool. Despicable! Metals can be too demanding but I love it not my niche.
The simulator lamp, a "super" discovery that apparently needed the patent marshmall. This is actually a small boost that gives a little life the amp as if we had added a preamp (I mean not a class A, either!).
However, I must avoyer that the effects are quite successful, they are better than on my gx 700. They are quite alive although numerically.
A so yeah, it can be more mouth than its 30 W but then it UP! The HP trs saturates quickly means the laminae vibrate by the sound of plastic bag and you can hear the vibration in the fairing parts of the amp.

OVERALL OPINION

I for one year, it allowed me to start but I intension to move to the lamps. Deja transistor is often not that great but then this is the worst of all. It amused me but it is time to play at to be. For that price I think it yaa better. It also allowed me to see a bad amp for the HIWATT apprcier better than ever will buy.
