lse « Amazing that a transistor can be good! »
Published on 06/23/13 at 05:0175W transistors was made in England.
My model is a SG75 1987 (info from manufacturer that 25 years later, still responds to emails within the hour ...)
Full connectivity, effects loop, line out with level control, headphone output, two foot switchable channels (I do not have the footswitch), HP external output
3-band EQ, the overdrive channel has a "filter" that plays a little role of a tone
There is no master volume each channel has its own volume (called gain, which is a little confusing at first), there is no big difference in sound between the two channels.
Reverb Acutronics
1 HP 12 "FANE" Made in England "for mine, Sessionnette was built 81 to 88, the first models were equipped with Celestion, so mine who is 87 has a FANE.
UTILIZATION
The manual can be downloaded online:

The designer of this amp, Stewart Ward is still in business and still retains Sessionnetes (he was also a mod Retro Tone, meant further improve rendering)
The manipulation requires a little practice, but once considered getting a good sound is the basic position, it's a bad sound that is difficult to obtain.
SOUNDS
I use an Epiphone ES335 1980 and a Godin 5th Avenue Kingpin
In both cases it is very good, especially in the clear.
A volume of apartment n it has no difference with a vintage tube (I had a Laney CUB10 and I have a Bugera V5)
The sound is fat, organic, frankly we do not know if this is a transistor amp it's really hard to guess.
The overdrive channel is nice but not at the light which is amazing.
Used sparingly reverb is beautiful
OVERALL OPINION
I paid a pittance on Ebay and this is THE great surprise.
I originally bought it to turn it into cab 12 "(I paid 15 euros) and there frankly I'm on my ass ..
I care!
It has the sound of a lamp and the ease of a transistor ... great
Added to this a quality production that are found today, this amp is 25 years old and is in impeccable condition, we see that he lived but because of the way it was built he does not fear much (In return, it is rather small it weighs a dead donkey).
