Superb electric guitar amplifier for any lamp 20 Watts ... it is best to consult the page of the German manufacturer that has created:

the manual in pdf is here:

You know everything now.

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple:

- A glossy black front metal soberly welcomed the 7 knobs that run both channels and the entry (input jack in 6.35) and taking footswitch jack (also 6.35). it is not provided but costs only 22 euros Thoman: nothing to cry!

At the rear, many inscriptions recall everything that you need to know for good use, no need for manual or an intellectual, you get the sound right in relation to the quality of his instrument is, in my view, what is the strength of this amp!

SOUNDS

As noted below, this amp really respect the instrument recognition! I use it with a Gibons Sg ... what a pleasure! More importantly, when I plug my Behringer iAXE Centauri, modest strato copy (with integrated USB sound card), I feel I play a Fender pure juice, and I had a long time ago, I remember !
The clean sounds are delightfully intimate, quality knobs really do their effects, guitar is doing all magnified ....! I really like the grain of the lead channel, the accuracy of soft clean channel the Celestion G12T has much to do. In my opinion, we are here on a sound that borders on bluesy fuzz to the heavy, provide an additional distortion pedal, unless you have microphones at very high gains, I have not tested in this configuration.

I said that I live branch most of the time, I do not use the effects loop for now. I have a Boss ME-30 and a VOX ToneLab st.

Here, the only effect is a reverb and not the least: Accutronics Spring ... beautiful cathedral which is determined carefully.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this amp for two weeks and I am impressed by the quality of all.
without being a pro who has seen it all I had in the past two bodies a Marshall jcm 70's Fender and a field, while the two lamps, neither of these models did not give me the impression of precision, efficiency , robustness and quality finishes!
Bought 550 euros new, I do not think this is excessive! I even understand what has been there, the footswitch is optional.

I wish to try an Ampeg in this range but there had not, I hesitated with the combo of orange ... but it is the sober black and Hughes and Kettner prevailed. An element of subjectivity remains well on

I have not tested all the competition in this range and above, I am not able to formulate a firm and final judge but I suggest you go and see for yourself the quality of this brand truly exemplary Teutonic ... Here, anything Bling Bling, no fuss, it is my opinion of exceptional quality materials and I hope very soon to read the opinions of professionals to know their opinion.

Choose this amp seems to me to be sensible, I would buy this again without hesitation.
Musically.
