UTILIZATION

In terms of use, it is not just simpler.
It happens easily find the sound you love.
The footswitch is very well thought out with these three buttons.
1-2-amp mode 3-Fx/reverb
The EQ is really effective, the manual is foutut is simple and clear.
NB: The presence of knob must be more than half RULES otherwise end up in the swamps ^ ^, if nothing spcial.

SOUNDS

This amp because of the 2 * 2 modes really offers many possibilities. I play rock / heavy rock, sometimes I will test the metal. Occasionally a small blues not refuse either.
Here, I play with guitars with humbuckers.

1-Channel 1/mode, clean: Frankly, I t bluff by the clean of this amp! In gnral, with a big amp distortion = clean a bit rotten. And ba no, not the. The clean is rich, has the volume is full of life and dynmique. Om when pushing the volume of that channel and we attack a little, we get a very slight crunch, ideal for the blues.

1/mode-Channel 2, crunch: The canal begins on a slight crunch, and go up a little overdrive. This mode keeps the two great dynamic mode first. The resulting sound is very suitable for my trip blues (with the mic handle is a rgal!), But also has a gaming agreement or note paper, which is very accurate.

2/mode 1-Channel, disto: On this channel, we obtain a distortion very open, which I love. It is well suited to rock. RATM, audioslave, red hot, as long as its level, there is a moderate distortion is the right channel! Excellent channel for solos, it is super accurate, and the solos are singing.
May be he could blame a slight eating bass, and more ... Any fawn, the last mode is for a.
I use it a lot when I sing, a very good channel for rhythm guitar in a song with a guitar lead over muscle.

2/mode-Channel 2: Then, immediately, the channel has more bass, it was largely on the sidelines of the cot! The disto'm immediately more high gain, the channel is a bit more compressed. The one feels that it's going here must!
Compared to the JCM900 on how I play repeated, ba ... In fact, we always rock the cot crude, but much better, more dynamic!
In addition, it is as if all were 2 times more pententiometres racing ^ ^
So we just get a good rock sound, the presence at 3 o'clock, the gain was 2 hours, it was a good rock sound, at once more lead the way as a more powerful too.
Then if you push els settings to the extreme, the presence of Max, disot 4h/5h, the is huge. One lot of palm mute the other world, was a disot saturates as it failed, the one returns without the heavy problem.

The highlight of the ponint amplin it is this versatility, dynamics, and ca Presita in all channels, even at high gain.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 10 months, and I'm very satisfied
I play a lot of JRock (AKFG the rainbow, orange range, H & MC, BECK OST, typhoon24 ...), the real rock as you rarely see at home ....
Otherwise, red hot, nirvana, audioslave, RATM, Muse ....
Shcool and old, as Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Bob Marley, Gun's & Roses ...
This amp is perfect for my use.

I really appreciate ca dynamic lights thank you ^ ^ and ca versatility.
It is found has been used for a very affordable all-tube is a fairly mconnut amplifier, and wrong. So the report qualitprix is ​​excellent.
I do not regret having to buy an amp is really stunning;)
