Lack only the reverb ... but hey, for that price!
on the other hand, from a footswitch would welcome t ...

UTILIZATION

Rglage trs simple (and classic), not really making head.
Sound really excellent, with good bass response despite the small size of the enclosure.

on the other hand, as there is no footswitch between, there is no other choice but to add pedals for overdrive or distortion when playing live.
Too bad, I like the grain of the saturated channel ...

The manual is on two pages, and that's enough.

SOUNDS

This is an amp goes everywhere.
It's a fairly round. The distortion of the 2nd channel sounds quite modern and is grainy trs. The sound is good as well trs clear that its overdrive.
After a few rglages (examples are provided on the packaging of the amplifier), we get sounds to good brands Difference: Clean, Crunch, the Heavy, Hardrock, Metal ...

OVERALL OPINION

I did that for one day ... but I intend to keep it!
And why not use it in concert, dubbed the sound with a microphone.
The only ngatif, I think the blue color of the plastic (but hey, it's a matter of taste, and is not the sound of the amp).
I tried to light all other models, but not in my budget (Peavey Classic 30, Leaney 15W), and too powerful to play with me.

Excellent price quality ratio! I would do without this choice hsiter
Edit: APRS 3 years using the amp, I find it just as good.
For cons, I did not capture the era between how a lack footswitch.
