The crate is a tube amp class A / B.
It has 4 12AX7A for preamplification, and 2 EL34 for power ...
it delivers a power of 50 watts RMS into 2 hp celestion 12 ".

it has two channels:
a clean channel with adjustable trebble, mid and low
and a distortion channel with gain, trebble, mid, and low volume CONTRL.
the whole is complete with a presence control.
It also includes a series of 15 digital effects that are not only the level SET.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is very simple, no button has just the right extension cord ...
After a few minutes and a good COST is obtained a sound not bad.
Channel 1 trs sounds neat and clean with crystal clear sound.
with the channel 2 can go from simple drive heavy distortion.

The manual is in English but everyone speaks English ....

SOUNDS

It is ideally suited my style of music. I play pop rock.

I help with an ibanez SZ and an Ibanez Ergodyne. and I combine all this with a boss volume pedal Digitech Whammy, a Boss delay, Boss PH2 phaser a maxon overdrive and a boss equalizer.

I get a little prs all types of sounds. it is especially trs prcis even with the gain 9 or 10 that's what I like about this amp.

the trs is wrenching distortion and do not put a package has hsiter e volume.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year now.
I like the sound that comes out no matter where this amp. I use a lot on channel 2 and I admit to be surprised when every time I press the switch to turn on the distortion!
I try to model enormously before choosing the one, the peavey, marshall of the engl amp, and many others. Then finally I decided to choose a combo and I found this little trick and I admit it sounds of thunder ...
qualitprix the report and not bad for an all-tube amp of this type.
I think I can remake that choice be, and I can be e couplet with a mesa using a switch A / B hahaha ..
