Tube amp (two 12AX7 and two EL84), very powerful: 20W lamps sufficient to be heard in groups. settings are learned very quickly (go to the website of "Judge Fredd" it is an essay on the Quad, the Dual is not much different level settings) at the rear there is a small knob to adjust the Balance of reverb is not as jerky as idea ...
- 1: It never reaches perfection.
UTILIZATION
Config. very simple (even I have included): 2 channels (bright and distortion.) function "Twang" to make the sound more clear "net" and "vintage", and "boost" function for the distortion have a more aggressive (which I believe is much better than Marshall. But that is only my opinion, I must be the only one not love this brand). The manual is not bad, although it lacks many details when to change lamps, but I would be concerned on the day. Just the right sound quickly (must leave lights heat 2-3 minutes and go) with a good scraper can push the gain high enough without the distortion that it makes a big sound rotten.
- 1: It never reaches perfection and then there's also the story of the manual and change the lamps (it's still quite mysterious to me who did never replaced.)
SOUNDS
I want a vintage sound, so yes it suits me perfectly, I play it with an Ibanez Prestige RGA121 (mounted with Seymour Duncan SH1 and SH4 always for its Vintage). Overall whatever settings you remain in the crystal clear sound, it's not an amp designed for heavy metal, therefore the sound is bold to forget: there are many means by pushing the max gain but there is more music.
- 1: It never reaches perfection.
OVERALL OPINION
I have since November 2009, before that I tried a Vox AC30 CC2 and a Peavey Classic 30. Dual EL84 is less expensive than the Vox and more expensive than the Peavey. The Vox has no distortion itself and the Classic did not have a distortion. as incisive and did not sound that met my expectations as well as that of Hughes And Kettner.
