Transistor amplifier 100 watts.
The head is mono, 2 channels, clean and saturated with option "+ saturation" and "mid contour"
A knob for the reverb too.

Nothing to say on this point, it was nickel.

UTILIZATION

Trs simple configuration with a manual trsdtaill knobs for each.
one branch, we do a little and it gives qual dja not bad!

In addition, Fender used a system of storage for cables and footswitch quite handy: you have two tab at the bottom of the cache with the Fender logo, it takes, ca scratch, and it was a hollow compartment to store a max of brol (I bet there are some who wonder what these are still tabs: p). Congratulations on this one the Fender!

SOUNDS

I bought this head after a resale of my Rocktron rack Gainiac 2 (see my review on the misadventures). It has a sound with a little grain and gnial + that makes all the magic for me: the switch "MID CONTOUR" which transforms the acid Fender distortion in its heavy but trs trs own!
We add to this a good compression and it is gone!
The clean channel is nice too, with a good delay / reverb can make facilmement acoustics.

I put 9 / 10 because the wind filled enough when you push the drive.

OVERALL OPINION

I just aqurir the head, but it's been over a year I work with FM combos in my non-profit organization, so I knew what to expect.
I never t branch Fender because I found the distorted sounds too "acid" and harmful to the ears. Here was a new type of amp sound good with Fender typs but with the modern and more.
Before then I had a config gainiac velocity100 2 + which had cost just over 400. Here I am shooting with a 280 with the nickel for the music I make, and even the FM is much more versatile than the Rocktron to me.
I would do without this choice hsiter.
