All tube 40 watts. 2 channels + 1 boost on drive channel, level and EQ gain separate but common. Simple and very clear, 1 HP12, "a loop, reverb, a master section (and thankfully).
UTILIZATION
The config is very simple, it sounds right now by Fender clean as saturated. The reverb is pretty nice. Problem for me, the clean channel saturates as soon as we gain more than 2 ... it's really not cool because the level is not very strong and fortunately there is the master section to mount it all otherwise we could not do together in the bar with clean sound. I have not thoroughly tested the levers but I'm scared of this limitation ...
The popping sound is much better because it will then ask the question of connections between the two channels in terms of volume and the feeling of not pushing the lamps and to be restrained because of the clean channel can not exceed quine 2 ...
SOUNDS
The clean sound is very very nice and very clean below 2 after it begins to saturate and not so super nice (for me). It sounds like Fender and therefore rather cold, ie with the bass, very few low-medium, a lot of upper midrange and treble. The sound is rather broad and dynamic, but the saturation at 2 it hurts ... We do not feel able to push far enough lamps for more dynamic without saturating, it is unfortunate.
The popping sound is also very fender ... Ie relatively "thin" (not thick what) a bit noisy and dirty, especially if you activate the boost. It is somewhere between overdrive and saturation, as a distortion a bit noisy we could never put to the bottom, or as an on-boosted overdrive becomes dirtier and metallic. We like it or not, me too.
OVERALL OPINION
I tested in several stores in one day with all the other lamps (C50 AC30 JCM900 TSL122 F30) and it is not the one I prefer. It's a good amp, but I do not coresspond, I find the Peavey classic50 much better, but it's not quite the same kind of sound, the peavey is more English, more friendly. I think we should really be hooked on its fender to appreciate fully. But we really try and compare it to other to be safe because it is actually very limited with this clean, which saturates and thus forcing the channel to be deuxème fitting.
It makes a great praise in the forums and that's why I wanted to test it, well I was a little disappointed and I will frequent caveats to this choice often made without testing.
