See below,
I put 8 because there are two entrances, which makes a good vintage charm but may practice to switch from clean to distorted sound. But do not panic by playing with the volume knob of the guitar you get a clear sound not so bad, that's hard crunch. You just have to possess a fairly progressive scratches on the volume.
No effects loop either, which is not essential in itself but as the amp does not have reverb ... it is not recommended to put a reverb directly between the guitar and amp, the reverb wrong signal distortion and it comes out a sound awful.

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple, a very efficient but not qualisation complete, bass, midrange, treble and presence (it is effective).
There are not many possible configurations, but given the sound that comes out of the beast ...

SOUNDS

I play rock, blues-rock and this amp is perfect for those styles.
I also have a huge penchant for stoner-rock, which ncssite sound fatter, bigger.
I is obtained by adding a few pedals:
MXR Zakk Wylde overdrive, it allows me to boost my solos very effectively, or make the sound fatter for many prominent rhythm.
Big Muff-it allows me to have a very very fat on the good rhythm, I shuffled to the marshall of saturated and it makes very well, the dynamics of the amp is the sound of shuffled the pedals.
My guitar is a Gibson SG standard, the ADI is built for rock, but I dja ssay other guitars in the amp and it sounds also very good, the single coils give a more blues following positions, it is very enjoyable.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for more than six months, this amp is a gem, very musical.
I pushed a few times in rpeter and the sound is amazing, never showy and always relatively clean while remaining very rock and blues. Group is apparent from the mix, too even after the other guitar amp! However, it is very heavy, nearly 35 kilos. He looks very solid, but it's still a tube amp so fragile.
The effects loop is dispensable, but would not rverbe t refused.
Both channels are a false problem, just lower the volume of the guitar to make the sound clearer. All these features make the charm of the amp, and finally it accommodates.
