Value For Money :
Excellent
15 (or 18?) Watt lamps, a jack, 3-band EQ, and reverb built.
UTILIZATION
The sound is more than adequate. It was my first tube amp. I knew nothing, I thought it was great.
In fact it is not so great as that. It is true that it is quite suitable for the Blues (it's written on it ...). But by using it we learn to tame it, you learn to draw sounds good.
It has bizzareries: for example, the knob of mediums, from scratch, still leaves spend mediums. One wonders why. Fortunately the mod is simple to adjust it, I could get a more manipulated Equalization.
SOUNDS
With distortion (volume knob between 5 and 8) it is pretty decent and it takes pedals very well.
I played when I started with a Korean Epiphone Dot. It was going. In fact I would even say that the amp was worth the instrument and that the combination was quite happy.
Once I bought better scratch (or that I had in my hands) on better amps I've heard the difference.
The reverb is pretty ugly. With minimal medium and treble and bass background, it is quite interesting.
OVERALL OPINION
Used for 5 years in the studio scene. He dropped me twice, it is quite fragile because the lamps are used preamp to max capacity. It therefore heats.
It was my first tube amp. Although her to discover the lamps. And light enough! Compared to many other amp can be transported by hand for a hundred meters without asking (try that with a Twin ...).
Pretty good value even if the resale price that it is better to buy it to keep it.
There are many site on the internet offering mods to do to improve it. It's pretty cool that, it makes you want to work on it.
