All-tube amp (EL84 and two 12AX7 2)
It is 20 watts, has a speaker Eminence 12 "
Connector: 1 input for scratching, an input for a footswitch (not supplied, to my regret), an exit for a baffle, and possibility of an effects loop.
SETTING: 3-band equalizer, reverb, 1 volume for clean channel, 1 volume and a gain for the Lead channel.

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple, there are very quickly sounds very nice after a little setting equalizer.
The manual is translated in french, and there everything you need to understand the workings of the beast.

SOUNDS

I currently play with a Start and a guitar with 2 humbuckers (lag). The clear sound really gives life to a stratum, providing clean sounds, slamming, precise but never aggressive. By pushing slightly the volume of this channel, we get a slight crunch that sounds superbly.
When the lead channel, it offers the typical bluesy, and cranked can provide a fat distortion, perfect for hard rock greasy if you put the gain maximum. It also provides distos softer blues for example. With a scraper to 2 humbucker, one begins quickly to Angus Young, and with a single coil guitar, it can get very sharp sounds interressants.
Even if the versatility is not the best argument of this amp, different equalizer settings offers a great variety of sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this amp for several months, and I am really very satisfied. I got it for about € 650 (in German mail order store) and I think the value for money is quite correct. It delivers good power, boosted channel, but will be ca clear channel can be just for the scene, but transplanted to ca do it! To play at home, has a relatively low level, it goes very well.
He has good versatility and correct a terrible sound, I would do this choice without hesitation!
