Best value:
Excellent
Tube amp, delivering 30Watts.
Pretty basic with 2 channels (clean / overdrive sound).
3 knobs EQ common to the two channels, an outline and a digital reverb that sounds really good. Also there is a loop to insert effects and the possibility of adding an additional speaker.
Pedal switch between channels is not supplied with but only cost me € 20
When I received the amp, I was surprised by the beauty of the materials.
UTILIZATION
Manual is very clear.
Very easy to use because very few settings.
SOUNDS
The clean sound is magical. I chose this amp because of the clear sound hot.
When mounting the volume, the compression is snapping. Really beautiful. I do not think I have found a better clear sound from all the amps I've tried (and the list goes on)
The crunch is superb. Really bluesy.
The distortion is really crappy!
Note that this amp bass are present at low volume but tend to disappear when you start to push the beast.
Overall it sounds vintage but with a precise and very warm sound.
OVERALL OPINION
it's been 2 years and a half I use this amp extensively (up to 2 gigs a week - equivalent to 6 hours with very high volume).
I had to repair this amp 2 times (and it was not the lamps). So reliability is not terrible. What to expect when you pay much less than the competition!
However, the sound is truly magical for clear and crunch. Avoid if you want distos.
The weight and size are ideal (much more portable than most other amps of this type).
