100W, Transistors
A line-out, 1 headphone, 2 outputs 1X4 ohms/2x 8ohms, 1 return, 1 send, 1 switch pedal input channel, 1 pedal input for activating the reverb.
An equalizer by Clear Channel, crunch / overdrive.
Comprehensive at this level.

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple,
Having bought this head used, I downloaded the manual on the manufacturer's website.
The manual is more than adequate and very well detailed.
So, I say congratulations! It deserves a 10!

SOUNDS

Used with a Samick KR-564 GPS-K, a Hagström Viking, or a Les Paul too.
I used it with several different speakers and Peavey and Marshall
live on the same console.

No nécessairemment metal in its sound. I use it for the cold-wave, with a little gain on the distortion, and sometimes delay the output, a pure delight.
The clean channel is very neutral and does not alter the sound of the guitar.
What is missing is the dynamic lights, it's still a full-transo is very flat, but suddenly, it's ideal if you want to attack him with an amp simulator like the PODxt live.
It grows when the master and therefore the power stage that restitution is the best. A low volume, it lacks a little body.

The crunch is very pleasant. pretty sweet too, but eyeing the side of the disto. I would appreciate lighter.

For distortion, it can get very nice sounds, very dirty, very runny putting little gain. By pushing, we get something faster more accurate for the metal, provided play in this style.
The sound is very nice.
Weakness for the reverb that is not terrible but if you have a good scratch, you can use it sparingly, it's just fine.

The sound is really good for a while transistor, but it has neither the dynamics nor the warmth of a tube amp, do not dream.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about a year and is one that suits me since I need an amp that does not distort the sound too much as I attack with imulation amp PODxt Live .
I tested quite a few other amp brands in the same price range, and it is one that is best for me. Much better than marshall the same price
The quality / price ratio is very good!
It looks very solid, and the look is downright pleasant.
The knobs are large enough and easy to handle because of this (Well done H & K).

Attention to the line-out, it does not go through the floor of equalization. So, when I want to attack directly the mixing console, I use an output speakers.

A minor complaint all the same!
When using the headphone jack, it has not even made in the equalization, the sound has a lot more (too well) severe and equalization is less effective. This is quite unfortunate.
Another negative point, the reverb at all to the height

If I had to redo this choice, given the budget I had, I would do without hesitation. If I had had more resources, H & K won Seeing me, I would look over a model and lamps, unless I fall for a Fender. But for now, I am fully satisfied with this amp! No reason for me to change.
