Head amp transistors.
100W of power, switchable to 50W or 25W.
Connections than complte: effects loop, preamp output, between Poweramp, etc.. impdance choice of the baffle (16, 8 or 4ohms mono or Stereo).
Reverbration numrique. 3-channel volume and gain (active equalization for the channel ultra), 3 modes each. Master volume.
Switch to the damping of the power section (tight, medium, loose).
Technology accumulation of lamps (Transtube) ... yeah ... on paper, ca!

From all good!

UTILIZATION

No worries, it's still classic and effective. We do not just find rglages correct, but it takes a finger at the level of legalization and damping that colors really sound.

Versatile dj this level l.
There have been good thanks to the easy sounds Varis channel modes.

The manual? Aaaah you talk srement 5 sheets of photocopies (attention, photocopying 'color!) Aggraphes loose in the box? Uh ... We can manage without.

Trs trs big plus for his button footswitch that allows you to disable the effects loop! Just great!

SOUNDS

My style of music ... he asks a lot of gain and precision! Well the XXL gives me both!
Trs good amp for all the music "heavy" or "hard". It's gonna rock 60 'in heavy 80' grindcore or metalcore to 00 '! Trs made good overdrive or saturation. The clean crunch well (by increasing the volume of the channel, which also serves as a gain).

However, from the time he was asked to heat ... it gets stuck. They might try to get closer to the lamps made of an amplifier, we are still far trs. It sounds good in saturax, the treble does not fuse too, the mediums are apparent and bass are not slobbering. This is the clean sound is a bit bland I got. As against a skyscraper in EMG, you will have a clear "the Metallica", which in itself is plutt sympatoche: D.

Nevertheless, the versatility of this head is great trs, we can discuss styles normment DIFFERENT! This is also why I took it ...

I particulirement the Lead channel, which allows itself to address normment sound! From rock to trash!
The Ultra channel has more gain (ah bin ... it's the channel of the big nag!), A "modern" has dug its way too hard ... paramtrer no top ... but I have a russi his "Pantera's" in this mode, so in fact it has its usefulness!

The head has a sound, it's characters ... we feel good when we play. Rac powerful and it feels great especially in saturation (high gain lead and ultra-ultra). It sticks trs well with characters of my KH 602, also special! I have a truly unique sound with my config ... never heard that elsewhere ... dcrire difficult. There's a ... "Something": D

Just find the right rglages (scratching, amp and pedals or rack = increasing equalizers) rveiller to the best of each channel!

Little breath for a transistor amp, even gain back ... trs trs apprciable! At worst you moves away from sources of interference (clicks, NONS, Cables low-end, etc.. Rptera we do often enough!).

The reverb is certainly numrique but trs good quality!

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a week and I'm screaming in all directions to see what he has in the noggin!

I can qu'apprcier versatility ... switch to kick on the footswitch of the Led Zep one killer distortion of Pantera or Slayer ... It's been fun!

I tried many amps before you fall for the head XXL (ValveKing combo, engl sovereign, etc.).. I really wanted to beginners amp lamps with two HP (combo or head + cabinet) ... I thought at the Randall RG50, tried to find 5150, ENGL Screamer ... the argument t is the price (500 XXL + marshall 1922 head on occasion!). I can only recommend this amp for those who want power, versatility and a first step into the world of amp heads.

Report qualitprix? ... It is good. However, some new CHRE all of the same! But on occasion (when it is: it is not trsrpandue ... shame!) It is doing extremely well! That already have good reputable Peavey Bandit, the XXL as it is expected to outstrip even better!

I think I have a 2x12 cabinet deuxime for a rig in Stereo (useful for broadcasting sound !!!).

CASC have as much versatility and opportunity in this price range is trs apprciable ... especially since its widely enough to 100W rpter and make scne. She spits the nasty
Be careful not to play too hard either ... the acouphnes! Always acouphnes! Being protected your ears and your entourage;) that either we do not often enough BPS!
