Value For Money :
Poor
It is a small 10 inch combo transistors, two channels with reverb.
2 effects loops, di output, footswitch reverb / channel, and I forget.
Wooden box class type mesa special edition, hp ElectroVoice of hell, the real power of one hundred big watts amp.
Therefore weight relative to its size but not within fifteen pounds more.
UTILIZATION
But not very intuitive to use only channel, this is a weird switch on the other channel (link or split, kesako) and a warning in the manual manipulation to do ... What English.
If not in use basic, clean channel with reverb nothing in loops is clear, and lo-mid hi-mid are really useful with a jazz guitar.
We can go far and stay clear, but need to get away as it is strong ...
SOUNDS
The sound is warm, gentle, precise, but also according to the guitar punch. The volume is amazing, the Electrovoice is too smooth I think. With other HP amp behaves just as well, and with an external 8 ohm box (cut internally) is killer.
The reverb is cool, not sound too long thus usable.
With a distortion pedal in front it's not easy to find the right by it against Degomme seen fantastic clean potatoes available.
So jazz with a jazz, funk with a Strat, and downright rock with a suitable RG and pedal ...
OVERALL OPINION
There remains the question of reliability, alas. My first défuncté has no reason, but he walks whistling continuously. My second turn nickel, but the loops are defective and we had the bridge so that the amp works as before.
Of course zero doc, no traces of the manufacturer, but the circuit is simple and airy so good electronic repairer knows what to do with where applicable. Unfortunately in our time it is cheaper to buy new than to repair ...
An original late '80s, sold far too expensive at the time and questionable side reliability (the fault of the complication, a clear channel without loops and it was perfect), brief if you find one made of okaz careful.
