All tube except rectifier diodes, digital reverb, EQ for both channels, pentode or triode mode choice for the power stage, boost the drive channel.

Hp 12 inch house, I confirm the suspicions of the tester previous night at the HP amp.
Since there are only the top, choose this option.

No switching noise, no hum, it's clean. Just like finishing, nothing to say.
Is remarkable for the price, hp apart.

UTILIZATION

Very simple, only the selection triode / pentode is back, not great.

The saturax has a gain over a master, and a boost. The reverb is global. What is intuitive.

SOUNDS

What shocks the outset is the lack of bass and magnitude as well as side to narrow midrange and treble. It's simple, small Vypyr 15 next biggest sounds fuller, there is a problem here ...

I think the hp bugera is not at all suitable for this combo, but I have not tested it on another HP for now. I had two of these on a hp v70 bugera GMX212, they sounded pretty relaxed without big bass or treble very present (I mounted the hp to test on multiple combos. So not great nor really bad).
My V5 sounds better as it is, issue frequency and speed of response, his little 8-inch BUGERA is downright good. Like what ...

Otherwise, well-balanced amplifier, the saturax remains in the mind of the clean, no false note. The equalization policy, and is often very difficult, is well suited to both channels, fine.
Clean as is the lack of breadth / heat / low, put it down to the hp. Saturax the bottom is a good overdrive, but hot enough accurate and natural.

The reverb is the same as on my V5, standing for the 55 I would have wanted more class ... Very nice job, a real plus.

OVERALL OPINION

Finally here I have tried many times and I did not take. Offers nothing more than a bandit TransTube, in fact I find worse than the latter (which sets the bar pretty high casually!).

For the price you have a 1990, is more convincing as a tube amp, and flexible.

The V55 version header is 100 euros less, it's a good plan there.

As always, try before buying is essential, with your guitar, it reduces surprises.
