f1vjt « Not bad! »
Published on 10/15/10 at 06:33Valve amplifier, all is already said.
I realized on my model has a head from the amp and a cabinet with the cab.
I replaced the lamps with Electroharmonix and HP Jensen with a 12-70 Chicago.
With the new lights the sound is much more defined, with the per Jensen is a bit of performance but the sound is much more present and less showy of the original HP (in my opinion not great ...)
An excellent sound and above all excellent value for money!
For info: High Voltage (330 volts) was cutting output transformer over-sized, discrete component quality.
Floor preamp quite "silent"
UTILIZATION
Very simple to use, a channel, Gain, Level, Treeble, Medium, Bass, Reverb.
ON / OFF control stby
the amp gives max performance with the volume pot on Level 5, is saturated beyond too (see overload too) the EL84, the sound becomes less defined.
SOUNDS
Is an amp rather rock / blues, with a moderate gain you get to have a clean sound but not bright enough.
The reverb is pretty original summary and blur, do not hesitate to replace it with another model;
I mainly play a Gretsch G5245 equipped with Filtertron Epiphone Les Paul and with SH14 and SH1.
Gretsch sound is a bit less aggressive and a bit brighter, with Seymour is more easily attack the amp.
OVERALL OPINION
For two months he accompanied me in all my rehearsals, power is ample (gain 5 level 4) and I assure you breath away!
I also own a VOX VT50 (50-Watt modeling) between the two has full power, there are no major differences, the sound pressure is almost the same .... small 18 watts class A is felt!
Honestly I am satisfied with a small amount can finally afford a brand lamps.
With a hundred euros more, you can offer a better and HP kit lamps "serious" of JJ or EH work very well.
