5 watts, and a pretty good hp 12'' Eminence tube: a 12AX7 and EL84 no name, replaced for me by EHX in preamp and Sovtek in amplification (qualitative change sensitive enough, a bit more finesse and shades ...). For the remaining features, refer to other opinion well detailed, but a significant detail: it's tough, weighing 18 kg, and it inspires confidence (internal and external assemblies clean, simple, effective).

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration, such as the manual, not really necessary to understand the use. The power outlet you plug goes into is, allowed to heat slowly, the sound comes gradually worse guitar you plug the knobs you turn, falls again very quickly ... The sound volume is straightforward, clean, simple, effective, rich enough: a good base amount without fuss ... Plug plug'n play ...

SOUNDS

I use it since its release, I tried or not owned a lot of amps before, but this is only my second quaffed. Specifications then: the "quality" (in my opinion that is what you want), bass (fed cans ...), simple, well accepting the pedals (well those that I used ...), not too big, cheap, usable volume acceptable for the neighborhood (roughly: butter, butter and money ...). Conclusion: cardboard almost full, the last point raises concerns because it sends the guy! I've never done in my cruncher (damage and it itches a little anyway) and have never been able to turn up the volume more than 4.
So for od and distortion is Vox Bulldog for my part, he accepted very well indeed. I play with humbuckers enough pêchus (Gibson, Seymour) and simple (Di Marzio), sounds are very nice and clean with pedals in front because no effects loop (od and distortion but wah, mods, delays, reverb). I use it in some semblance of a register which goes from blues, pop, rock and even more upset metôôôôlll: he can (even at low volume) of many shades and variations but still quite fatty and dense with its settings and 5/3w to switch.

OVERALL OPINION

A good amp, value for money rather very satisfactory, the first small quaffed budget time with hp worthy of the name (the boys then had only 6 or 8''). Downside: too powerful for a uniquely urban domestic use. But a really nice gear and almost any terrain. A remake? Perhaps more to the question for me 1W decibels or transo or a THR10 home yam or a box of peas (probably with regrets ...) GAS when you hold us ...
