25W lamps
Stand-by, gain, volume, bass, mid, treble, reverb Accutronics, effects loop
One channel
HP 10-inch HP + extra output
Vintage look
Very good build quality, the knobs are accurate, the standby switch and ON-OFF seem good
Finished look very flattering
China Manufacturing
UTILIZATION
Setup is very simple, need manual
Its far from a vintage amp classic transistor, or modeling
Means finally the real sound of guitar with a particular color, I think related to HP 10 inches.
Ideal for a bluesy sound, with the crunch, which can be varied with the volume of the guitar (at the cost of a slight loss of sharp turning down the volume)
SOUNDS
Ideal for my style of music (blues)
I play with a RavenWest RG450 (Korean Whalebone type) equipped with Seymour Duncan SH2 + SH4, splitables.
I recently started using a Behringer Blues Overdrive pedal, gain mini amp for clear sound, and I use the Behringer to either be in clean (bypass) or to saturate the preamp solo and have crunch ... nickel is
I confirm, the clear sound without any primer crunch is difficult to achieve, I think the 12AX7 preamp gain is too much for that.
The best of the best for me is the intermediate position SH2 + SH4 split by cruncher in the amp, I love her
Another positive point (perhaps related to my config guitar): sustain and harmonics ... By pushing the gain and volume and using my little Behringer € 19, to saturate the preamp, no problem to bring out the harmonics of the guitar (due to the pick attack) and I get a hell of sustain !
Only drawback, the HP 10-inch narrow somewhat the sound: I tried to add a parallel HP 12-inch on the output planned for, and it really improves the sound.
For me it's all good, but I put that because of 9 HP
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 6 months, and I discovered the sound lights ...
This forces me to rethink the way I play because it requires more subtlety in playing the guitar
With a little additional pedal, I have an all-tube amp, two channels, I can carry around, and that is beautiful.
Last point: 25W lamps, it spits out a lot more than the equivalent transistor!
The quality / price ratio is second to none in my opinion and I referrer this choice without any hesitation
