«  A nice amp! »

See other opinions. There is everything you need for a receiver-oriented "vintage". Lamps mounted home were rather good, the electro harmonix. Unless the rectifier, a noname Chinese.

UTILIZATION

Manuel and clear enough, yes. It lacks, however, to indicate the position of the lamps and their respective roles (preamp, 2 preamp, reverb ...)
Configuration is very simple, yes, and it sounds good whatever the settings.
Real shades are possible by adjusting the positions 15 or 30 watts and the 2 EQ modes (independent / interactive).

SOUNDS

The sound so ... My goodness I did not regretted my purchase! Sound nice and warm, a beautiful clear, but a tendency to easily cruncher though.
I play more with Start and Tele, and it was really good. With double is immediately more crunchy, but very good too, really blues for once!
On mine, not a hair out of breath, at least not with my settings (as opposed to 15 watts, so class A, and treble fairly low, around 2 or 3 of 10).
I do not hate anything about this amp.
I have since tested a fender princeton reverb reissue and deluxe reverb, so I put that 7. But all the time I got it I was really pleased with the sound!

OVERALL OPINION

Well I got 3 years and sold it recently, so I can notice a quiet ...
So I was filled with this amp.
The only thing that bothered me, and really embarrassed the end is its weight! To go again it was excessive: too heavy and too powerful for me. In addition to the 2x12, it is pretty big, not very convenient to carry in their arms.
The value for money is just incredible, in my humble opinion.
With the experience I'd take a lighter amp, and this is what I do.
