Published on 06/22/11 at 13:56Amp any lamp Fender, 3 channel with reverb spring.
The clean channel is based on the normal circuit Deluxe Reverb, the clean channel adds body fat and low, and finally the channel distortion can shape the sound very gradually through the two gains.
The clean channel has a volume equalization treeble / bass and a switch normal / fat.
The distortion channel has 2 gain, treeble, middle and bass and volume.
The reverb is common to the two channels.
The switch on / off and stanby are positioned at the rear of the amp, not practical at first but it holds fast which does what.
The back of the amp provides the connections for an external loop (without adjustment, it's all or nothing) for external speaker and the loudspeaker.
The power delivered is sufficient for the average person unless you play in a stadium. I never went beyond 3 / 10 on the clean channel and beyond 4 / 10 on the channel distortion, even in outdoor concert.
The footswitch that came with the amp is very comprehensive as it controls the switch normal / fat, changing the channel, effects loop and reverb.
UTILIZATION
Super simple setup, and all settings sound good.
The manual is zero but the bed? For there are plans against the power amp.
SOUNDS
To be honest I changed the HP for a Celestion V30 in the first hours of use, the original HP is very (too) medium and it comes out that vintage sound of the amp. With the change of HP you can play with the EQ to give a vintage or modern coloration to the sound and the clean sounds are still growing.
For the clean channel is Fender's, hyper dynamic even at low volume, beautiful, very far ahead of what I heard. Lens of the normal and fat on fat mode. Do not compare this amp with the little 5 watt amp that is beginning to find anywhere, this is not the same range, it is well above the SuperSonic.
The presence of two gains of the channel distortion makes all the difference. The first for the determination of gain level, the second adjusts the compression level and combinations are almost endless. It comes out of the light crunch (https://www.youtube.com/user/MrFixcool?feature=mhee p/a/u/0/F_5uz1cZl5Y #) to the SRV to a very heavy distortion typical rock / hard rock without giving into the metal.
The spring reverb is beautiful even if it is drowning in excess of 4 / 10.
OVERALL OPINION
I use this amp for 6 months and tried many amps before making my choice (booogie mesa, marshall, orange, blackstar, peavey, etc.).. I was looking for a Fender clean sound and a typed channel distortion with a very wide range, all with the opportunity to spend the next vintage of force.
What I like most about this amp is the dynamic clear sound and the combination of two gains of the channel distortion that allows me to cover all styles of music I play.
THEN WHY ONLY 5 / 10?
The less and less what .... it is the breath of the amp without any instrument plugged in and with all the knobs to 0. A real shame for an amp of this price, which tarnishes a balance that would have been perfect. I changed all the lights for WA but without success, the breath is always present.
It seems that some models are quiet, buy the store in order to try it before!
In any case, the amp for me a life (when I have found a quiet)!
