Value For Money : Excellent
Amp trout lamps, 35W. But dlivre as well as a Marshall 100W few Dcibel prs.
Spars with two channels for each rglage gain, the Aiges, medium, low, in the presence, or size. A volume is also gnral Submitted and a 5-band equalizer paramtrique. Socket for pdalier which selects the channel and / or activate the equalizer parameter.
At the rear, speakers output: 1 x 8 Ohms, 2 x 4 Ohms. Slave output with volume indpendant. Effects loop with the shuffled rglage wet / dry. Silence switch to play by plugging headphones into the output prvue this.
I think I have not forgotten. Otherwise, forgive me that MB ...

UTILIZATION

The manual is simple, although in English, and must be read at least once, if the configuration is likely to be a long road to cross. The manual is clear and also gives examples of rglages trs useful to begin with.
This gives excellent sound very easy, provided you know that we should not get too much treble (that's in the manual). Indeed, if we push the treble in 6-7 above, all are frquences booster, and particulirement averages, making the sound nasal trs.
Knowing this, the rest is a breeze. Using the equalizer paramtrique can shape the sound basic Manir spectacular.
In sound, I added a small Mesa Boogie box in order to have 2 HP 12 ', adding that normment chest' Little Boy '.

SOUNDS

This amp is perfect all styles of music I play: hard, rock, blues, blues-rock. I use the following guitars: Gibson Nighthawk, Fender Start, Washburn N1, Yamaha SGX-900A.
I replaced the lamps Mesa Boogie by JJ Electronics purchased a new off-price competition among Eurotubes.com and the sound is simply great for an amp of this size.
I can get a clear sound on channel 1 by setting the gain and volume 2-3 to 7-8. Conversely, I get an IDAL's blues / blues-rock / crunch by pushing the 8-9 win and putting the volume 2-3.
Channel 2 allows me to get sounds ranging from AC / DC Gary Moore with all the variants that can be assumed between the two, however, keeping a Mesa Boogie color. (Of course if you want a Marshall, Marshall is one to buy, is not it?)

OVERALL OPINION

I possde a lot of amps of all kinds (Marshall, Fender, Peavey) and I must say that this little Mesa makes me crack. I use it for some months now and I do not tire: the sounds are fantastic, trs gear is compact (so I can carry it everywhere, concerts, RPTES, jams, classes, etc ... without having to choose between renting a van with three roadies and / or break my back).
I only regret that there are only two channels available, but good to be able to have the luxury of a channel supplmentaire, there must be a hell of a package of dough and more.
In short, bought OCCAZ 800.00 in perfect state, the report qualitprix is ​​excellent!
