Value For Money : Poor
100w pure transistor amp with a 4x12 Celestion Rock Driver Junior

Possibility of connection with the 1x8 ohm 4x12 or 2x4 that goes with ohm speakers to add more.

1 input jack, an effects channel, and a headphone output (no interest to me because we play very low volume)

2 channels: 1 clean cannal (with high mid and low) and cannal warp distortion (high mid low presence) a volume cannal, no master general. (It can interfere with some)

UTILIZATION

The configuration is fairly simple:

Cannal clear with high mid and low. Easily adjustable

Cannal saturated: distortion, high, mid, low and master presence. Here the setting is thinner because the amp developed a lot of bass. So you have to play on medium, the level of distortion and not put too much bass. And frankly, after two years of use, I still can not get something good.

SOUNDS

Canal clean: The sound is soft, but cold ... It's clean, but no effects it sounds bad, very bad view ...

Cannal Warp: So there, we like it or not, but to get an idea you have to play at least a quarter of the volume. The distortion is weird ... It has a fatty side, fuzzy, not very distinctness at the same time There's a pretty nasty fuzz shrill.
The level of gain can be excessive, but it does increase the inaccuracy of the sounds (sometimes in rehearsal I found myself playing a tone above the other, and I heard not diffénrence).
To improve the picture, there is almost no dynamic that one touches the strings or like a bear attack that can feel the difference. It's not pretty, really ... What's really amazing is that there are a lot of bass, and almost no treble. I have come to completely remove the bass in the medium 3 / 4 and push the treble and presence at the bottom. It is super dull and rough.
It's not worth trying to get a crunch sound or OD, is made for big sounds and nothing else.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two years, and I hate him more. I do not take to repeat that when there is no alternative. And I'm pushing it, it leaves absolutely no mix ...

The value for money is very good if you buy it for € 200-250 OCCAZ to otherwise it's too expensive for what it is (and I mean the head and cab!)

I bought it new at € 800 just before they stop manufacturing it, and he walked so that the price had been halved (from € 1500)

Everything is extremely robust, and it is the only quality that I found. Because in addition to an ugly sound, it is heavy, bulky and inconvenient to carry.

If I would not do it again! I would put money aside and I'm saving to buy something good.
