Value For Money : Excellent
Amp any 12AX7 / EL 84
Max 15W switchable to 7W.
HP Eminence 12 "
1 guitar input, all outputs HP 4,8,16 ohms
Single channel with gain + master eq B, M, T, presence.
No effect. Too bad, I would have liked a little reverb.
9 So to the reverb.

UTILIZATION

One branch, turn the knobs and it was the sound! It goes from very clean to slight crunch, crunch and powerful. In the final race of the gain, the crunch is a draft. It depends on the lights, so we will experiment with other lamps to better customize their sound.
It's simple, fast, efficient. But beware, if you can play at low volume apartment with Master, do not be mistaken: 15W tube, it grows stronger! Therefore be used in a club / restaurant / small stage.

SOUNDS

Styles covered include: funk, jazz, bluesy areg, Blues, Heavy.
Guitars used: Strats (mapple and rosewood), Les Paul, Sheraton II.
All possible sounds, but Heavy and Metal. Although, for the '70s Heavy is OK. But for a more metal saturation, foot binding.
I thought that I would not have combo format very low, and I planned to plug it into a 4x12 ". And then, surprise! The internal HP provides all the bass is needed, the sound is round and ample. A little reverb on it, and the amp really breathe fully, in accordance with the grain of all the guitars.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for four days, well tested (7h 2d. What I like most:
- A big combo
- Effective settings
What I like least:
- No reverb

I play for almost 30 years, so I have tried quite a few amps of all types / designs / brands / powers.
Quality / price ratio excellent.

Yes, I would do this choice without hesitation. Sound efficient lamps used at home or live, what do you expect? ........ reverb? lol
