two processing stages the sound of this amp is equipped with lights, everything else (reverb, effect loop, rectifier) ​​is driven by transistor
2 inputs (hi and low gain) knob to promote acute, clean and overdrive channel (or "more drive"), setting standard tone (bass, middle, shakes and presence) and common to the two "channels"
spring reverb and master (only drive / more drive channel)
effects loop and foot controller (for the selection of channels, not the reverb)
three lamps pre amp (ECC83) and two power tubes (6L6)
Eminence (Fender) 8 ohm
power: 40w

UTILIZATION

the major concern of this amp is the bad habit of placing a linear Fender knob for controlling the gains and volume, the result is that you still looking for the right level at the beginning of the race of your setting is very "touchy" too sensitive you are always too hard or not enough, but never at the right level ...
the (big) detail aside, do not rely too much on the effectiveness of tone controls, they are good to adapt the sound reproduction to the room in which you play but it is not used to "cut" a sound, you I have big pumps or low or medium "vowels" or sparkling treble, despite that and except for the metalheads I think it is a good EQ section (sorry, tone)
reverb is "poorly calibrated" and tends to drown out the sound, eat too much, use sparingly ...
And yet ... if you know how to use a tube amp (*), you get a very fast (very) good sound
(*) Active microphone? pedals? -> Low gain input, single coil pickups? -> No "bright", hambucker? -> Possibility of bright

SOUNDS

I play mostly with a Squier telecater custom, I have lots of other guitars but this one allows me to cover a wide range of sound without changing the stroke, I play music composed of loops and that's why I ' I need a guitar that gives me such a fan, I can easily play bass lines that sound "low", adding skins of clear agreements and then some intelligible good "solo"
I place a great effect section before amp (cry baby, EH micro Q-tron, MXR dime distortion, Line6 DL4 ...) and ME50 in the effects loop (EH + 2880)
So much for the context ...
this amp is well suited to what I do, it can be super clean with a dynamic and scale to fall on your ass while your sound pass, low round, deep, warm, well singing midrange and treble well neat, the drive / drive is a bit more difficult to control but once the mastery it's all good, the reverb ... uh ... how to say? ... buy a reverb pedal!
for the rest, if you have some experience you know that the sound is in the fingers, do not wait for your beloved guitar or amp to do for you ...

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this amp by chance there for four years, to help a friend who was in need of money, and sometimes really chance would have it
I have many other amps (see my gear section) and it is one where I play all the time, all those who come to play with me are in love, he saw to spend Fender (CBS, Japan , and Southwestern U.S.), of Gibson, Parker ... and every time he surprised at their owners what they heard from their stroke always seduced ...

The universal and perfect amp does not exist, if you check the forums you can read the complaints of many owners of this amp, but you also read all the possible solutions (changing lamps, change the HP, or modify such resistance this condo) for my part, I would change the component priority are HP (some screaming when you are in the axis) and the p * $% tin linear knob for gain, if this amp is a charm. ..
ah yes, I forgot, another drawback to this amp is that with such a gain entry, if you have a first lamp (the pre-EQ) that is a little microphonic, you will have want to cry, so be very careful as you place the lamp at this point, try several, to the wise ...
