UTILIZATION

I bought this amp to OCCAZ 'without manual.
The configuration seems simple and yet ...

Get the sound is not so simple.
The amp is sensitive trs; adpend REALLY guitar.
Gibson Les Paul Junior (P90): You have the right away, it's pretty ... magical.
Gibson Les Paul Standard (57 humbucker 'clsssic): Ae, have a little fiddle. And after 15-20 minutes you have a pt .. but its ... the volume is' ACHEMENT lev.

SOUNDS

The sound of this amp, you will understand, is quite special.
This is more 'rich' when you are a JCM900 in the register crunch grow well. It's less than slamming Twin Reverb.
Level and look at her There's a bit of Vox AC-30.

This is clearly require an amp, however it should be enough off-road but it takes time.
It is vritablement powerful hair may be too.

I play rock and roll (evil spirit between Cochran and the Ramones). Then sends a lot.
I play mainly with a Les Paul Junior.
But also: Les Paul Std, half a box with a seymour duncan p90 phatcat.
I had the opportunity to Repeat 'to play with a Jazzmaster (MIJ) and std telecaster us, and .... wow, was sent.

In fact the double coils are Tolra the amp but it's not my record.
By clean we felt quickly in the Jazz (yuck :-)) and saturated channel we quickly found a saturation level that Exceeds what I like.
Frankly with my Les Paul Std There's the sound Rudolf Schenker. But hey, it's not my thing.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this amp for over a year.
I had:
- Peavey Classic 30 (head on Marshall 4X12 cabinet)
- Marshall JCM 900 Hi-Gain Dual Reverb (in 50 and 100 W at the head and combo)

I like:
The power
The sound
The original sound
The solidity of the piece indniable
The look

I do not like:
The weight
The reverb (which is clear but trsdlicate rgler)
The tone common to the two channels.

The report QualitPrix is ​​excellent.

I remake that choice ... o until the day I came across a Bassman ;-)
