Well everybody knows: 22 watts all tube (3x12ax7 2xEL84 +) + a good 12 "that sounds really pretty!
Two channels clean and lead EQ + a municipality, a presence and reverb "digital" unfortunately (it sounds a lot but in this small concentration of analog, it's job ...)
Loop back and two front inputs (normal and "bright")
A magic little switch to switch between pentode triode (which has the dual effect of changing quite sound and the advantage of significantly reducing the power ... practice room!)

UTILIZATION

Using nothing more simple: industry, we rule, it sounds ...

SOUNDS

I was more than pleasantly surprised! I tried a lot of tube amps "not too expensive", I tried a Peavey Classic 30 and I fell on it OCCAZ (in other words not very expensive).
I use it with my Les Paul Studio Faded and two Burstbucker pro.
The context is clear and downright superb lead channel cracra well I like it! It is not in the registry "metal background" (this is not what I searched!) But the level of distortion is more than respectable.
I recently my little assistant "Route 808" Visual Sound (also very good in the genre Tube Screamer) and this is happiness!

OVERALL OPINION

It's been over a month since I played it fairly intensive (one per week + repeats every day at home).
I can not believe the quality of this thing.
Note, however, it seems that Behringer (brand owner) has the tendency to go out to all of its products very good series on the first month (story coax the customer and magazines) before letting go completely on quality of the components used in the following series ...
Mine is part of the first series (first half 2010), it seems that we must rather seek those.
Another VERY IMPORTANT: 22 watts all tube this silly (and very good 12 "associated with it) more than enough to cover a good battery and a good slap bass ... bass! Really not worth seek more (Rock style). And at least there can be heat EL84 blank and that is where it is the best! Ah to saturate the power tubes are qu'ça to true. ..
