- Transistor
- 100 w on the balance
- 4 * 12 "celestion rockdriver Junior
- Reverb
- 2 channels: clean and lead
- An equalizer
- A gain knob and a caracter (soft or hard)
- Volume knob for the clean, lead to a master and a master gnral
(And three knobs volume is handy!)
Must not look too complicated sound is very easy to get and accessible rglages trs!
Note the prsence an effects loop and a headphone jack! (Very useful)
Over time we regret can be a bit too, but this simplicity adpend what plays

UTILIZATION

I bought it so I had to OCCAZ no manual but it is tlchargable. In use it is not complicated so we branch of the transistor and it plays!
Get a good sound does not Relva the impossible like some amps.

SOUNDS

I bought this amp to make mtal the cot and there is absolutely nothing gnial, bass are good Submitted trs well received by the cabinet So nickel! rgler a knob allows the lead channel between a soft distortion adding some compression to the sound (therefore mtal amricain typ) and a hard distortion (more British) adds treble and a little more rock . For a transistor amp's distortion is more than respectable, even though trs!
Well now the clean channel: Really nothing wrong all in the clear quality sounds are clear and round (while remaining in the transistor of course)
I play with an Ibanez RG2550 and Fender Stratocaster Lite ASH and the amp sounds wonderful returns of the fender guitar.Avec I sound the limit of a light amplifier trs so good! I added a little chorus pedals and phaser and everything goes perfectly. The reverb is Submitted without being teachers.
In short mtal cot, heavy rock or you're served! And what is more blues and jazz is not really the amp IDAL but with a good scraper can pass.
Regarding the volume higher up the more you realize that it is done to show his power! With the master knob gnral 2 / 10 is covered ease the drummer, is of three Glue the wallpaper and five one becomes deaf. I personally have never pushed beyond, but five did not move the cabinet and return any wonder as clean as saturated.
I love the clean sound. The sound is approri for rock but I do not like the weight of the amp! (About 35kg)

OVERALL OPINION

H & K has a good quality amp (made three years ago and I have absolutely no problem). I test a bunch of amps, used amplifiers and lights the fact Pingle HK does well in the game I think I agree with a lot of people that this is one of the best transistor amplifiers mnage march that the portfolio for a good two bodies (between 480 and 650 and 900 OCCAZ nine) but not mnage back! (like most amps!) I probably resell a little later to buy a combo lamp because it lacks any of the same grain and heat lamps and then the two bodies is a bit bulky and not suitable at all for playing in the apartment (but has had knowing it!)
