At the beginning I have a little trouble because I was accustomed to the Vox special and it took time to adapt.
But when it works, so it suits me.

Rikenbacker 330, Gibson Les Paul, Fender Telecaster, Fender Jazzmaster.

Its clear then there hats off to Koch's sublime, the crunch is good too but I like Orange or Bogner (but not the same budjet)
- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
I prefer when it works, I hate it when it is silent and down! grrr
OVERALL OPINION
- How long have you use it?
1 month, and returned 5 X SAV
- What is so special that you like the least?
Unreliable
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
yes, a lot.
- How would you rate the quality / price?
If it is not reliable, well ... 0 points!
- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
No, bad experience.
The shop I took it back and bought one instead Studiotone whose design seems more reliable.
I had 5 outages over in 1 month. (Luckily it was guaranteed). The last repair was a total reconditioning of the amp with the new parts of Koch.
The store ended up not understanding me back what to do!
The repairer of the mag. confirmed before the boss that many Twintone had serious manufacturing problems that he was exhausted to see them all the time back in SAV.
What a few shots before my son face to three French distributors of the brand, I heard with my ears (as in hp) that redistributors had the same problems on Twintone.
I could not believe my ears.
He then contacted the importer Koch who confirmed they had trouble with a series of Koch Twintone (which series?).
It was enough that the receiver returns to its cost to the parent to eradicate this problem.
Result:
He made me an exchange with a Studiotone that IT works for now well and gave me a refund of the difference and 60? for 5 round trips to repair the other.
So, now who wants to understand (can)
I got rid of the ball amp.
