UTILIZATION

Using fairly simple you initiated the single switch (no standby), allowed to warm you and you take a slap his dj sounds very well.
I did not need the manual when you touch the lamp is adj trs simple.

SOUNDS

It is ideally suited my style of music is rock / hard rock.
Its clear trs typ 60's-70's, this amp sounds finally pluss that vox vox (I speak of the Next-Generation of Vox made in china), with the function twang sound is clear at once full IDAL of medium for the country, funk and modern ballads.
The crunch is terrible so we can tap the ACDC Aerosmith like there's a really good.
Saturated sound surprised me there's a big reserve of gain that allows you to tease the hard rock trspchu see a guitar made for and the boost engaged. I prfre even when the sound of my pedals (EH metal muff and maxon OD9 for saturqui allows me to do a good hard the Scorpions, Led Zep, Deep Purple, Guns ...
J'utilie this amp with a Fender Stratocaster, to make it red hot nirvana and a whale in Mount duncan (pealy gates/sh4) for the hard it is terrible!
With some small rglages you can have a war machine at home.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months, I possdais a Vox AC30 that I loved but lacked versatility (especially in the distortion), the Statesman Entire given me satisfaction, I just love everything about this amp, it is fairly lightweight, good quality of Sonoita extras and a pretty face.
In this price range and up to 1000's The AMP it takes to rock, I tried a Laney lionheart home and he could not pin the Statesman, if you alos like the rock of yesterday and today, that you like also the era of hard and you do NWPD 700-800 rflechiss more!
Report quality more than acceptable price I ordered it on silent in DV247 rduction I got it for 680 fdp included.
I would do without this choice hsit one second
