Not worth repeating, everything has been said - except perhaps (I have not scoured all notices) which can connect a 4 or 8 ohm cab above or in addition to the internal speaker is in place.
UTILIZATION
I read the manual once, and only to verify the impedances for a cab outside. For the rest, if you need a manual to use a receiver easier, your case is hopeless
SOUNDS
The clean channel is Fender typed, but darker - except to trigger the switch "bright" - and loaded with a low or Silverface blackface twin. When you push the volume above 5, we quickly (well, attention is already fucking loud) to a small very nice crunch.
The drive channel is a bit less loaded with low fat enough anyway - even a bit messy - and, depending on the guitar (and the gain level) ranges from a light bluesy crunch to overdrive already quite big. The "more drive" delivers the same type of sound, but with more gain (thank you Mr. de la Palisse).
Contrary to some opinions I've read, the gain level is more than enough to rock even the furry well, at least double with a little muscular, but even with a TV mounted with vintage microphones (type nocaster) no problem it does work well. That said, a good OD set to boost dirt does not hurt.
OVERALL OPINION
I have this amp for a little less than a year, and I tested almost all tube amps between 15 and 60 watts available locally before you buy. It was not battery-hair sound I want, but it was the closest to it. I replaced the original bowl (a little garish for my taste) by an eminence Legend GB 12 / 8 I had on hand, it makes you stronger bass and midrange less garish. In her clear, open cab works well for my taste. In crunch, I prefer when it is plugged into my 4x10 cab marshall 1965 - more body, more punch, more heat.
The three main criticisms that I could do it are:
1 / Master of the drive channel - these morons have a knob linear, we get the brunt of the curve between 0 and 2.5: - /
2 / the side of the drive a bit messy
3 / the weight of the beast
Otherwise, after several months of rehearsals and concerts, and despite its small flaws, I am very happy with this amp and I do not change in the short or medium term - for that price, I'm not about to find better. Simple and effective
