UTILIZATION

2 Channel Reverb on channel 2
The EQ efficient buttons push / pull seems difficult to use.
This is my personal opinion.
Handbook little enough.
For my part, I found it difficult to make a sound. But after the time it is nickel.

SOUNDS

l accepts any style blues rock with the exception of metal.
Its clean "Fenderien" Wishing crunch but for the distortion, I go through pedals. With the amp alone it quickly becomes runny.
I use it with a Strato, a Tele and a copy Lespaul Custom77 CS3.
This is THE SOUND Lespaul Fender and the sound is bluesy wish. I think queles jazz enthusiasts would love.
I also plugged my electro-acoustic GODIN Acousticaster and it goes great.
Clear sound excellent and can make cruncher! In distortion, it also goes well with a clean well if you set gain and volume.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since 1981. I did the scene with. He was fishing despite its 30 watts and does not move with the volume of an orchestra or band.
I would have added a feature that allows the bow to better direct the sound.

I had problems with welds "dry" and the power transformer that came with the chassis vibration. Fault has been corrected quickly in a technician.

I still prefer an amp with simple adjustments, but I do not regret having bought it.
