Made in San Diego, California

All you need is in this combo:
- All Light!
- US-made
- Between a guitar in the pr-amp (really? ^ ^)
- Between output effects loop between pre-amp and power amp
- 2 output jack APRS pluissance amp, which connects to a double HP's combo (2x12 ")
- 50/100 Watt Amp dbrayable
=> In 100W, volume 2 / 10, prvenez neighbors before: p (I always use 50 personal, even in BPS)
- 2 channels: clean and saturated
=> A 3-band EQ per channel
=> Rglages "prsence" and "reverb" (excellent analog reverb for that matter!)
- An optional footwitch ... Indispensable!
- A line-out to mixers, amplifiers Annex, etc ...
- Weight (only downside ...): ~ 32 Kg (watch your back!)

UTILIZATION

Use could not be more intuitive:

1. We ask (of all fawns, given the weight, it is not the time: p)
2. It is the branch
3. One power switch
4. It waits 20 seconds prchauffe lamps (if it was a collection outdoor scne in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais)
5. During the prchauffe can make connections jacks (direct loop and footswitch)
6. We switch the Standby button to turn on the sound
7. Let's Rock!

English manual but trs clear if one takes the time to read it.

SOUNDS

The sound ... talking about:

Clean
In clean, the sound is hot
Trs hot.
So if your guitar's also a typical hot, you will need
probably a oprer rglage the Clean EQ.
Otherwise, for those who love the sounds of Mark Knopfler, but happiness!
Crystal clear sound.

Drive
His aggressive enough, typ British rock (Oasis) or USD (ZZ Top) according rglages EQ.
Ideal for rock anyway!
With reverb and a little background volume, it's like on scne!

The bad thing again, the Speakers of the TRS combo is directional (no more than 30 I think!)
This means that if you play standing 2 meters from the ground amp pos ... you will hear hardly the Aiges!

OVERALL OPINION

What I like:
+ The quality of manufacture
+ Robustness
The EQ + spars for 2 channels
+ Power switchable 50/100 W
+ The sober
+ The sound versatile, warm clean, aggressive drive, with its personalitbr /> + The possibility to connect other than the combo Speakers.
+ It's not the amp for everyone (quite rare in France)

What I like least:
- The weight (for rpeter, do dplacer other home: p)
- The direction of the TRS combo of Speakers
- The production is stopped, Carvin flows currently (January 2009) his last stocks

An average of 9 / 10 when even!

I possde for 6 years and not change it for anything!
