«  very good clean »

characteristics are atypical this is why we can love ... or not.
tube combo, good finish black or brown dress aesthetically very successful (neither too flashy nor austere).
two channels, I use mostly the clean channel with effects loop so without using a spring reverb.

UTILIZATION

the clean channel is the real surprise was sounds very fine, very subtle when it exceeds a third of the gain. there is a booster frequency switchable manually or via a special switch, I do use it almost never.

the crunch channel does not much we could do with a bit of rock but it does not sound great with overdrive or distortion or I do not know too much to deal with him.

the effects loop has no dedicated volume regardless, there is a balance that allows reverb if you use the internal reverb to have two levels (one per channel).

SOUNDS

quite adequate light, without going into the fenders to 1000 euros is a very satisfactory clean. I lean rather than fat crystal side, the sound is a little typed up what it takes.

OVERALL OPINION

3 years, the lamps are original and appear not which is reassuring. this model is no longer for sale but if you have the opportunity to have one (used therefore) not hesitate this is a very good machine inexpensive.
