Published on 01/31/12 at 11:5915W all-tube combo class A, with two separate channels, two jack inputs (Hi and Low) effects loop, footswitch location for ...
The equalization is common to both channels. There is a general tone, reverb and a small switch "bright", which, as its name suggests, adds brightness to the sound.
In short, nothing extraordinary, but it's perfectly effective, especially as to have that kind of power with two separate channels can play at home at home, and possibly repeated '.
UTILIZATION
Use side, it's easy, I'm not even sure there is a manual that comes with, as it is useless.
I am not a beast on the EQ settings (this is my first tube amp), so a little trouble at first, but nothing to do with the quality of the amp.
SOUNDS
First of all, forget the Metal, the receiver does not lend itself, and pushed to the max drive is not enough to satisfy fans of the genre. For others, the books are very affordable wide: from Jazz to Hard Rock, as long as the guitar to follow.
For my part, I played with a Fender Stratocaster US, and it is a joy.
The sounds are beautiful cleans. By adjusting the settings and selected according to the microphones on the guitar, is easily obtained with beautiful round and full sound, which can make it trouble-free for biting a pretty slamming country. The set is crystalline and very musical personality of the guitar perfectly clear, and even seems magnified.
On boosted channel, with a slight crunch, we can get to the Dire Straits sound, easy and soft to the blues a little muscled registry where the amp excels. Once the drive cranked, it can attack riffs and power chords to AC / DC. The solos sound great with a nice sustain and inimitable heat lamps. The effects of play and nuances are fully respected, in short, it sounds.
Only downside: the reverb. Even pushing a bottom, it is extremely discreet, if not almost non-existent (though I suspect my model to have the trouble on this side, since the reverb in question seemed more prevalent at certain times without setting have moved ...). Note also that with a bad EQ, channel saturation can quickly sound a bit "showy", but this is easily corrected.
In any case, it does not detract from the pleasure, but I admit that a year and a half after the purchase, I wanted to add a delay (I opted for a Boss DD-3), for a its a bit less "dry".
And there is a real treat. The sound is there, whether it be a long delay to the play Gilmour, or shorter to enhance the beauty of clean.
For fans of heavy rock, adding a distortion pedal might be a relevant choice, but the sound of the amp itself is already very satisfactory.
OVERALL OPINION
I have about two years, and I do not regret the purchase. The very high saturations are to forget, but otherwise, this amp can do just about everything, well!
The price / quality ratio seems pretty unbeatable (it is also not very expensive for an all-tube 15W), and finishing "old white English" is, as a bonus, magnificent.
