Main features:

Amp combo lamp with a power of 20W with a Celestion speaker 12 ". 2 channels: clean and lead (there is even the reverb).

Made in Germany and is well known, which is manufactured in Germany is generally of excellent quality. This amp is, in my opinion, very reliable.

UTILIZATION

The use is not complicated if you know well handle the bass middle and treble. For my part, I put quite a while before finding a good set but that's because I'm not familiar with tube amps (yes, this is my first "real" amp).

As for the manual, read it quickly because they provide advice to protect the lamps.

SOUNDS

With a good guitar, the sound is great. I tested it in the store with a Gibson Les Paul (Artisan model if my memory serves) and I was quite surprised by the sound very captivating, dynamic and warm (lamps in the sum).

We can play SRV, Jimi Hendrix's, of Clapton, but also a good hard rock like Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath by increasing the gain. So we are dealing with a versatile amp.

OVERALL OPINION

After 3 weeks of use, I do not regret my purchase.

For 560 € (in an other brand, I would have paid more than 1000 €) you have a quality all-tube amp that can both play at home than playing in a group with a drummer mad as 20W can turn the volume up really ... really hard.

However, it is important to note that with a low end guitar (I do), it will really make fine adjustments, so as to avoid sounds mushy, too loud or garish.
