All Tube Amp Black Tolex w 2 40 2 HP Jensen channels with the addition of an in / out to insert.
Effects: a reverb / tremolo 1
Settings: - Channel 1, vol, treble, bass - channel 2, vol, treble, bass, reverb on 2 + channels: tremolo settings, speed and intensity
UTILIZATION
Amp ultra simple to use in direct connection guitar. 1 treble, 1 bass, 1 reverb, tremolo 1. It connects, you play, the foot absolute.
With insert or pedals before the amp, we look a little more for a good mix, but it goes fast.
This gives great sound vintage-style, in the twinkling of an eye. Not trying to draw something other than what makes you buy it ... This grain and vintage personality.
SOUNDS
The amp is ideal for the Jazz 50's / 60's (Grant Green or Wes Montgomery), rock or roots rockab 'garage, but also indie rock, or noise with the addition of pedals to the coup, of course. Ideal for post rock, between Tortoise (Jeff Parker) and Godspeed.
Everything depends then obviously the guitar. Absolutely fabulous with a vintage or recent Gretsh, same with a Gibson ES 335, génialissime with Jaguar or Jazzmaster, this for the pre-rock styles mentioned. For jazz, I for my part a branch Duesenberg DCC with the swith set to P 90 and the tone of the guitar 2 or 3 max, or 0 and a 13/56 drawing from net to plate. It is simply magnificent and ample ... ample ...
For rock, I add a Vox Tonelab SE (with its p'tite lamp, it works wonders) and a distortion Bixonix Expandora, plus a Big Muff from time to time. It's just sublime! Finally, the tremolo of the Vibrolux is simply to fall. A note that like any vintage amp type, it still blows, but live, high-volume, it goes very well anyway ...
OVERALL OPINION
I use this amp for 6 months. It is ideal for all styles indicated. Its strength, the sound ... boiling hot, especially after preheating in order. Its weak point, the breath, but hey, given the type of amp, what could be expected.
His other great quality, weight: 17-18 pounds just very convenient for a 40 W, which still sounds very strong ...
Compared to other Fender, I tried almost all, it's a cross between a Twin and Deluxe, with little more warm, overall sound and tremolo included in Vibroverb (not quite reach its shows big brother, but more convenient in some ways than he .... For the price, in the 800 to 1200 € used, turn away from the Fender Blues Deville type and others, who did not even arrive at the Ankle ...
This magnificent double body is a marvel of heat. I put 10 in spite of the breath as it is the type and personality of this amp who want it, dreams are made of this, arent they?
