Value For Money : Excellent
2 * 12AX7 * EL84 pramp and 2 for the amp
20 w admnage but serious!
a classic one between a loop Fp loop send / return
2 taken pdalier 2 switch (provided only one original)
Taken with a slect loop / reverb plug & 1 channel / boost
Rglage twang that allows rendering more incisive in the medium funk / country
Rglage boost your checks and drive significant loadings

UTILIZATION

Config so easy
a lot of tone between rglages bass / mid / trble with effective combinations of functions Twang / boost / drive
Spring Reverb average effective but natural trs

Reduces manual enough, we at H & K Whereas we are just learning about a dj.

SOUNDS

For jazz / rock / hard is Good

Start on a PC 60 I t's quite disturbed at dpart defined by the "explosiveness" it's true that I left a AD50VT (not a monster of energy) and the clarity and the smallest intonations on how to play.

Extraordinary richness and dtail sounds and exceptional clarity and brightness a bit like the Fender Hot Rod with which I have long hsit!

trs homogne sound clear his saturbr trs /> We have plutt sounds hot with some brilliance (crystal I do not think!) and boost mode sounds pretty surly!
The variety of sound can not just be standard but there are sound quality (as it is a site from the vintage amp sound british in the us (cf see Judge Dredd s / video in the black box on the H & K Quad El 84 sharing the same struture as the dual 84 El sf power 40w instead of 20w)

There is no sound that I really dtest, the best compliment one can make is that redcouvre songs with a sentence and a wealth of sounds (harmonic touch and play) we do not have supper.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 months
Most have a wealth of harmonic and dynamic dtail
Least not to have a wider range of sounds (but it is true that I leave a Valvetronix AD50) and an output line Xlr Like Koch

I tried the hot rod fender (surf green with versions hp celestion G80 are the ones that attracted me the most with 30 vintage and not apprci std version to the Eminence blah blah!) It Apparently there are big problems of reliability (breakdown Resistors on a circuit Shma erroneous and quality construction so and so. I had a long and famous hsit clear sound but I enthousisam its really not discharge to a volume control (mouth right away) and crunch sosna anecdotal and saturation!

The Koch also does an alternative:
The Studiotone 2 a little short (good sound but little amp sounds c trs medium)
The Twintone 2assez sduisant but in 1200 a budget too much for me.

I also tried the version H & K 25th Anniversary 20w 600 trs good question (amp lamp) but with less the possibility that the Dual el 84.

The quality of cosntruction really trssrieuse (Germany requires) and pure 840 ena we pay for!
So R / Q / P trs trs good!

I do it again this election, it's true that I look a panel dpart brand without thinking H & K, an ide prconsue because I do not regret at all the discoveries.
I Recmment coupled with the ToneLab this opens a possibility of ventail standard
even if I found a lack of transparency from the amp alone, but several times qq quite marked effects on the grain clouds vritable used the amp alone!!
