Value For Money : Excellent
I bought this amp it is 1 year for about 900 euros. I hesitated between a fender hot Road to the same price but the fender got my sounded too modern. And both HP 12 "Crate of sending more power ...

Characteristic:
Pure Class A amp lamp 3 12AX7 and EL84 4. It sounds!
2 cannaux clean and overdrive command by optional footswitch (100 euros)
a boost also bought by the footswitch.
rverbe spring vintage well.
33 watts all tube diffuse two HP 12 '

This amp takes the road, it is well above the fender Hot road in terms of power and Audible quality. Fender, to have a good sound, you have to put 2000 euros ... In stock I have loved VOX AC 30 but the overdrive crate are deeper (probably 2 HP)


USE

Simpler, you die! It should not be Demeur dcroch immediately the good sound, good blues / rock. I had a Mesa Boogie 22 much harder to sound good, he had to find the parameters of the room and rgler in consquence. But it sounded good after very well.
The equalizer crate is very accuracy of all we can shape DIFFERENT sounds easier than a Fender Twin the (my father in possde one).

SONORITS

Caution is amp Blues / rock not to play the Mtal at all (or so the pedals must ENTERING AND USING ...)

The clean channel is magnificent. Clear, soft or crystalline according rglages. This is an ideal combination with my Strat Fender New American Standard. It sounds Knofler. It's great for playing Sultan of Swing!
It can also play jazz, it sounds round and velvety with a Gibson SG neck pickup, all playing shades are transcribed perfectly.

On the SECOND cannal yields fabulous crunch biting overdrive. It sounds very Neil Young. The power is phenomenal, but I rpet in volume 2 to cover my drummer ...
Attention this is a sound blues / rock 60 ', 70'. For his latest, to buy Marshall.
Well, it's true that if I plug my Turbo Rat has sent svre but the grain remains vintage, we get a sound Stooges fawn.

I like the sound particulirement branch with Fuzz Face and my Gibson SG. I think I'm Santana.
In short this amp possde a beautiful grain.

The sound is very close to the old marshall in terms of overdives the clear channel is a marvel of limpidit as good as a Fender.

As against this amp does not tolerates bad guitars, as given that very faithfully retrancrit the sound of the guitar, if you plug Cort above, you will hear a Cort ... (J ' have tried.
But a branch Gibson or Fender intgrale and it is the foot!

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for 1 year.
I had a Peavey classic 30 also lights but had saturated the clear trend channel, for a fan of the crystal clear Knofler like me, I found it downright mediocre.
Yes, I would do this choice because the sound is well worth Fender or Marshall Amp triple the price.
What I like the most is the wide availability of 2 HP that allows playing in club without turning up the volume above 2 or 3, which allows not to tire the HP and not having a sound dirty.
I like also the overdrive puncher that can play solos fawn santana.
For 1000 euros in store with the footswitch, it is a very good report quality price.

Attention is amp Blues / jazz and rock 70, there is no need to look for modern sounds, it does not give you less utilser a crankset, but I'm the style I plug it sounds!

Really a very good amp unfortunately longer manufacture.
But you can still buy the head 33 V for 600 euros on the internet, simply add speakers.

Very honestly, it sounds as good as the old twin of my father and without grsillement!
I'm glad I bought while he was still manufactured.
Attention big power, largely sounds louder than a 100 watt transistors ...
