sonofanzinedom « Light amplifier, ideal for playing Blues Rock everywhere! »
Published on 06/01/13 at 15:16Hi
This all-tube amp 1 or 15W (but true!) Depending on the input used is now well known, weight 11kg can carry it around, especially that it will support a 15w drummer too lumberjack.
UTILIZATION
Very easy to use! with effects loop
SOUNDS
Its pretty dark, but I have not felt in acute shortage, anyway it's a rule, good saturation.
OVERALL OPINION
It is an ideal amp for the Blues and Rock that can be openly and easily improved by changing the lamps (personally I've put a Tungsram 60s (welded plates) in 1, a 2-I63 Mullard and Tungsram 70 3 for the preamp (12AX7) and two EL84 RFT 70s for the power section. (we gain clarity, good saturation and harmonics out great!)
But also and especially by changing the HP (Laney HH original on mine) for a Celestion Greenback a little thicker but much more accurate ... (25w model in my case).
After these two changes you can sing and cry harmonic guitar (Gibson Les Paul and PRS SE in my case) as on much more expensive and much heavier amps.
Note, my PRS has a single / split humbucker, unlike his is very sensitive to the level of the amp, very convenient to change its power and short song!
In short, a small amp quite accurate original but can play in the big leagues after some improvements, the sound is still pretty typical Blues Rock (me it's my thing) but it is possible to obtain a more clear very correct (be careful not clear though, it's still colorful ...)
