UTILIZATION

This is an amp could not be more simple to configure. Whatever the setting, clean sound that sounds never aggressive or farts eardrum. A knob for bass, treble knob, and roll pan. The settings are effective.

SOUNDS

I bought it to shoot with my reggae band at the time, and it was more than the case both by the sound of the power released. I even did an open-air, without repeats. But for any style, it could play. He took very well my digitech multi effects, then I used to do solo leads into saturated, for example. It takes pedals well saturated in general (OD1 boss for me).
I agree with other opinions on the original distortion that is undesirable. unusable. The reverb on mine (an early 80s MIJ) was not at the top either.
For against the big plus of this amp is its chorus (perfect for casseroles like Brigadier Sabari, for those who know). The vibrato is very special, and I do not see what use it can have, in truth (nothing to do with the Fender vibrato). Unfortunately my selection button effect broke, and the chorus bye bye!
I played with my strats and Les Paul Deluxe and it was fine with both.

OVERALL OPINION

I used it for 5/6 years, after my group is gone, and it has become more cumbersome than anything else, especially since I would have preferred fender amps. So I sold to a guy who had done the same reasoning as me: a good amp for clean sound, no lights and their little problems, to turn, and takes pedals well. For the price, and therefore this reasoning, it is a good investment, even if it does not provide pleasure as intense as a amplar lamps correct. This purchase is a reason more than passion if I summarize, unless one is an absolute freak funky sounds - reggae - Afro 80s. He has never betrayed, super reliable. The MIJ early 80s are quite sought after for the quality of their HP and I understand why.
