presence, reverb.
100 walks, 50 or 25w

UTILIZATION

Very simple and very typindestructible heavy!
Fucking power! 25, 50 ou100W!
This amp is a tank vritable!
Footswitch allows the use of the loop.
The grain is unique (not marshall, mesa not to know) and omnipresent.

SOUNDS

Big crunch, but nervous and typ.
Clean bright without good for jazz with funk for good dynamic.
The normal lead well in overdrive bluesrock.
The lead is higain East 70's hardrock and stoner (Black Sabbath) but lacks precision for the modern metal because too runny.
Parametric EQ bass overboosted; hp super carvin!
The pedals are great distortion channel with the clean round (not bright)
the loop is complete (...); echo can boost the sound with the 3 settings (thank you the footswitch!)
Reverb passable.
The presence of knob is great (sound muffled fuzz in the lead)

OVERALL OPINION

My opinion: the grain should be and it's nirvana!
either you plug an overdrive (the clean) and made your own sound (the HP is perfect)
