5w lamp, pure class A!
Between jack
1 volume knob and a tonestack.
This is the same as the Epiphone Valve Junior (found on the printed circuit of the amp).

Change brings: a gain knob (very large), a 3-band EQ + booster acute.
Multiple changes of some condos and resistances (see reason in "tricks") + soon change output transformer.

USE

Over-simple setup ... a manual? or?
Son? No it was the problem in the original configuration, we get a clear sound very clean, but you have to push the bottom volume to saturate the beast. Hence the interest of adding a gain knob, to saturate low volume.

SONORITS

Frankly it's the slap !! Once the mods MADE, we get a sound very pleasant, a crunch die and maximum saturation of the lamp sound old rocker! Sharp attacks, very little breath, a clarity in the treble winded .. but in severe (hence changing the output transformer).
Coupled a Proco Rat, it sounds!
I'm not good guitarist, but nothing that I can produce sounds that make me want to play Seriously!

I play with a Fender Telecaster apartment, nothing to bring down the windows, but intertdcupl with mods. (Low volume saturation)
Why not add a third lamp? (See prsents advice on the internet and in the AF forum)


NOTICE GLOBAL

I use modified for two weeks and it is pure happiness, we will see with the change of the transformer but I will still win it (especially in severe that for now its low point).
This amp dvoilera his character with mods that we bring to it
88 Thomann, go ahead! :)dropoff Window
