All Tube amp (2x EL84 2x 12AX7) 20W 2-channel switchable but not the reverb (spring) effects loop, 3-band EQ external speaker output, 12-inch Celestion excellent once lapped, 18 kg in all: hard to find more complete in this range. May lack a master general and an attenuator, but hey .... Finally, the strength made in Germany obvious.

UTILIZATION

This is the opposite of amp modeling: we must spend time to find the equalizer through a very efficient that will shape the sonic and while it's happiness. The pedals offer a more obvious to expand the sonic palette (Marshall Jackhammer and Bluesbreaker front, and modulation loop)
Overall, this is a typical configuration tube amp / pedalboard gives its full potential amount the volume: knob is progressive but the sound improves and increases up to half and then begins to saturate (equal volume) then . I recommend in apartment, at home it's all good in a room next to it is the top.

SOUNDS

The amp is oriented blues rock or hard but not beyond. Clear and overdrive excellentissime, light years away from anything that can be done in transistors, modeling, multi-effects etc. ... Try it definitely never go back. With a strat. it is a couple fenderien with my Lag Roxanne rise Di Marzio (air norton / air box) enter in the fat and fleshy, with different pedals, no doubt you will find the sound you seek (except for metal) and 20 W is pushed donf ecstasy

OVERALL OPINION

4 years of happiness without getting bored once! I still continue to discover new sounds by experimenting with new settings, and this is its strong point: its versatility. Other amps seem to side very poor (eg Line 6) or too typed (eg Vox)
This post to encourage you: if you find secondhand, go for it
