Best value: Poor
I do not yet have the gear, but tried carefully.
Given the lack of info on this machine, I turn to act and I hope to complete in a few months ...

All lamps of course, huge transformers, tube reverb, grinding ditto.
All hand-to-point wiring point, nothing but the best of the best.

15 watts class, and interesting settings, see this.
The two inputs are different, more punch over the other smooth, very useful depending on the song to play. By connecting an a / b box in two, the sound is in the middle. No way to keep the specifics with the box, too bad.
The master volume is detachable, giving a lot of punch. The cut is especially effective with master disengaged, and downright delicious for the definition and treble that deliver (passes?).

The equalizer is also detachable interactive, it's crazy. I imagine that high volume is useful, but the volume of the test (stronger than a fender deluxe reverb alongside anyway) the equalizer is incredibly useful.
The reverb is pédicommandable (poor Molière), always helpful. It is dense and short, very clean.

2 HP (one squatted by the Internal hp) and a switch 4 / 8 ohms.
The craft made its weight, but no worse than my bassman ltd (which I found wanting in light of the bazaar is in it).

15 watts, what joke! The cub 2r sounds hard, very hard, really amazing. Unspecified, given what my bassman issue, I would double the bassman is 90 watts. If so, I am not exaggerating. Because the dynamics of the chat is phenomenal.

UTILIZATION

In view of the settings you think, very simple. Ben not so much ... I mean the amp is easy to handle, yet incredibly versatile for not being in trouble at different volume, concert etc..
In thirty seconds I had the sound I wanted, it's not hard. But there is room to experiment, according votr3e scratches / music.
A vox ac 30 Chinese is more complicated and not a little (and xx buttons change little at the sound coming).

SOUNDS

Hold on friends, you will not find better clean sound. This thing also agrees very well distortion pedals (tri-od, Crunchtone, Distorto, bad monkey) that I struggle with, which is not the case at the deluxe reverb side or my bassman.

The sound is ultra-fast, very hot, very precise and musical, and very intense. This strikes when you plug something else, we are left with a very dilute its poor and raplapla. In other words, it really does not come back from a trip to cub2r bad cat.

Test done with a baja telecaster, and my guitar for me one Apex 2 7-string in the.
We say of course with two 15-watt EL84 and a lamp to rectify the cub will vanish with the Ibanez, all wrong! I play clean, and none of all the amps I've tested / owned the last 15 years has been adapted to the 7. Amazing as the cub sounds huge!

For its natural volume wedge distortion, master not disconnected (!) Bin is nice but not pursued, given the clean sound and what I love doing (and my pedals) I did not insist.

20, not 10!

OVERALL OPINION

The hour of observations, it'll take a unfortunately a few months.

2 the price is definitely not overrated, there's studying the market to realize (Me.da Boogie stews sells more expensive again, and it will not work but-ja).

3 we have done with our amps like marshall tsl 1500 euros / bassman fender deluxe reverb, and all the others. At this high price for what was really that sounds no better than a peavey bandit, even the diluted raplapla (except that the villain has the nice distos that work for real)

4 So I throw a cat among the pigeons, take a villain and save for a bad cat, and it's really correct. And the villain will always be used when the cat will be there. Intermediaries are a fool's bargain, the bad cat and a pedal suitable for you will always be better than a multi midi channel pepper mill internet ...

One more thing, in 30 years your kids can still repair the bad cat if necessary, to other amps good luck eh.
