Amp 50W lamp (ral), 3x 12AX7 in pramp and 2x EL34 power
Complte trs connector for an amp of this era: input (normal) and footswitch (included in faade then the back, various output HP (4-8-16ohms), an effects loop parallle adjustable in faade (mono-10db switch for multi-effects numriques), a line-out with HP emulation type red box .. Optional CONTRL Midi MSM-1 (channel switching / reverb / loop of a button. in short, not bad when even.
It has two channels, each with two modes. In fact, I assimilate more nearly a 3 channel. The agalisation is common for both modes of channel 1 and another for the two modes of channel 2. In fact, on channel 1, RULES just the volume (gain of), then channel 1 mode B, rglage gain and volume (almost one channel deuxime what), then 2 channel mode, it RULES gain and volume that are common to both modes A and B of this channel, channel A as a more typical vintage and modern B with an additional gain.
in short, of all good. One can perfectly address all modes distinctness, except for mode B channel 2 which is actually a modern boost mode A on the same channel.
So, in conclusion, it can REALLY work 3 trs DIFFERENT sounds, and it suffers a little 4th (but never dgueux)
Once all these people rgl adding reverb or not that can be measured, and the effects loop that can be used as 2nd master eventuellemtn if not used.

I put 9, parcequ'avec dual master volume, c'tait's all good.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is very simple despite the multitude of possibilities.
We get easily a good sound, but the crunch channel 1 mode A fast enough (1 / 4 of the race with a gibson LP), which allows all the same to see a reserve potato consquente enough.
The manual is quite clear but lacks a bit of precision on-use function noon. (8 for this)

SOUNDS

The amp is versatile trs. It can do almost anything. I'm in a pop rock record, but I also like the hard and heavy, there is also comfortable.
The TRS is clearly beautiful, not as crystal as a fender, but not bad even when, especially with a les paul, not easy to have Crystaline, the crunch is a marvel, and channel 2 THE disto to find most suitable.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year prs.
trs versatile, easy to play on this scne grav = pdalier in full, good sound.
I had a lot of other amps, this is the best so far, but I often change. In light amp, just before I had a ValveKing, see nothing, forget, I test a peavey classic 30, far derrire too, and the hot rod of my collgue, in suprieur clear sound, but for others CHANNELS, nonexistent.
The report price is necessarily good quality used until 500 / 550 euros I think. he was worth, compared a screamer, for example, it seems much more versatile, more pens trs well built, and the screamer cte plutt 750 euros .. So .. A MDIT.
