2 transistor amplifier body 80 or 100w as my memories
The basic connections are: input, effects loop, footswitch
In terms of SET, is a master with reverb
one common to eq 2 channels and a voicing of mediums to move from one medium or hollow sound. (british or us)
a gain for the clean and gain and volume for cannal 2
Technology emulationde lamp soft clipping (resistance)

UTILIZATION

Anyone can adapt to this amp, the settings are simple and intuitive
No need for manual

SOUNDS

The cleans are good and sharp and rather fenderiens very dynamic of transo.
Well suited to a funky game.
The distortion is fat and rather nice for the transo and voicing makes a lot of possibilitbr /> Suitable for playing rock and hard.
For the metal grain is a little too fat and not specific enough.
The sound is still a bit aggressive at high volume.

OVERALL OPINION

Deusieme was my amp I exchanged against a 2000 jcm
I had bad memories because I had the extreme metal and the sound was very messy so the transition to the lamp made me forget this amp.
So meanwhile I pass on the two bodies and a lamp and lamp combo is a rack config lamp.
I replayed by chance on this amp because I have not lou by repeating to me lugging my racks and I t surprised to rediscover.
I t surprised by his dynamic clean.
This amp buries most of its competitors including Valvestate with a grain closest to the lamp while but are much less dynamic and more aggressive.
For that price was worth it when we do not want (or can not) invest in any one lamp.
It very well cash my preamp and makes him enjoy his dynamic but be careful with volume adjustment.
