Best value: Excellent
All lamps. 50 W. connector jack, 4 channels, reverb, XLR DI out.

UTILIZATION

Super simple setup, a few hours of games and you can find your sound
the manual, what is it?

SOUNDS

It is a very versatile amp, the clean up which can boost a nice crunch (true dynamic), a little crunch very useful for the blues and the sounds still pretty quiet, an overdrive channel that seems to me to be the most low of four (rather slender), suddenly, I do not use hardly any, and a high gain distortion with big fat bass well, but with a bit of acidity for my taste when the gain exceeds 1 hour.
I think this amp sounds better with single pickups (I play on Paul and Stratocaster)

Small update: with microphones output level a little high, the channel quickly became clear a little crunch when you push a little so I put the master 8. but this is an amp to the quality / price excellent.

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 1 year, the number of channels is interresting, it sounds pretty general, I have tried many other amps of the same type (50W)
unbeatable value for money of OCCAZ
I would do this choice with his eyes closed

Finally, now that I play a Laney VC 30 212, the tube 50 has clear sound rather low, and saturation very "German", as its look, this is not an amp that sounds possible to have " vintage ", it is the metal ds et al.
