1 GZ34 (5AR4) for recovery, 2 12 AX7 for clear channel (operating in class A) and March 12 AX7 for channel saturated (still in Class A) and two 6L6 Class A or B to power.
30 W and 15 W Class B Class A
hp outputs 4, 8 and 16 ohm (two for each except for the 16 ohm)
input to change channels and / or cut the reverb (need to keep a stereo reverb, which also is pretty bad!)
equalizer settings are the strengths of this amp. There is either a normal low medium setting with acute influence of a portion of another like a conventional amp or without influence of a range of one another, resulting in a multitude of possible settings depending on the guitar which can have too much or not enough shine.
UTILIZATION
The configuration is simple but not simplistic: it is necessary to adjust the equalizer using the clean channel (it is common to both channels) and can be refined for the channel saturated (we say support rather crunch!) By providing in addition to a Mid control is fairly well located and centered on a frequency more than appropriate (though seen it!)
the manual is hopelessly and sadly monoglot English ...
but it explains well the thingy.
firmly, the reverb is just as marketing argument: it is zero! or we do not notice or it crushes everything. But it did not matter much where it's not expected this kind of amp!
SOUNDS
For rock and blues .... quite suitable for this amp hard to promote the sound of the guitar will not be indicated for those famous hollow sound that make the guitars so interchangeable!
I tried it with and lespaul stratosonic stratocaster yamaha sg 2000. it sounds wonderful with the possible range equalizer: that is the strong point ... but also the weak point because it is impossible to change a guitar without a bit of time before the pretty buttons on the EQ .... and even more: the strato accommodating more of a power part in class B type marshall even though it is far from the British Standard (6L6 are the explanation!)
OVERALL OPINION
The clean channel is simply extraordinary crunch (all colors are possible regardless of the guitar used. He single-handedly justifies the purchase of the amp: the channel is saturated much anecdotal him (say it really is down compared to its counterpart bright / crunch: in fact, he seems to lack "seat" but instead allows good "crack" the mix in group play which is what we ask !) but the existence of this channel allows not only to have his solo, but also the level that you want, that does not add a pedal on the clean channel but the sound is most convincing (and even enjoyable if he added a tube screamer, which I do not deprive me!)
value for money is amazing!
The biggest problem is the weight of this amp (31 kg, excuse the little!) default so crippling that I had to separate the head of the cabinet in order to make this portable amp: 7 euros and fifty cents for wood a box for the chassis seem quite essential to make this amp mobile!
this amp is the nth of a saga, but it really has nothing to be ashamed of his predecessors such as Vox AC 30 (Chinese head: the English were not at that time in my ways!) and H K edition tube, marshall 2061x, matchless lightning 15, Orange Tiny Terror etc ...
On the contrary, I would say that it can renew the genre with its EQ section "special" and his choice of party power that actually changes the color of sound, that is not that of the tiny terror or Blackheart 3 / 5 w to name them.
For accuracy in search of her, you should know that the power in class A makes the sound darker and more closed and therefore closer to the orange (or even at a lower proportion matchless seen that they have much less dark this component! )
Apart from this turpitude related to the separation head body, yes I would do everything without hesitation. Especially since I got this amp through an exchange with the tube hK edition (which on paper is more expensive) with a scratch that was really the trouble with the weight of this amp (in this respect for the fragile Lumbar: The edition tube weighs only 18 kg with the package well packed: I hold the post! but unfortunately it has a hp!) but was not frightened by the idea of the tube but "sibling" of the H and K which has its aficionados and critics .... I'm not but I was a little tired of the cold on the sound of h and k.
