First huge advantage: the size of a 30 watt transistor amp almost a journey, but well enough to dtruire eardrums.

Cool the possibility to switch to 5 watts (for "the" sound accompanying a singer even without a microphone) with a volume that can be strong enough dj.
if not, see other reviews for dtails

UTILIZATION

After a few minutes to adapt a work alone, of all sounds a fawn rgler even without the knob (at center)

SOUNDS

Second standard asset: the sound gnrale

power amp makes it quite suitable to live (whatever scne)

the clean sound is round without being fat, enjoyable and dynamic time.
Heavy distortion (crunch, blues, distortion) are prcis, "creamy" and dynamic;

I tried three guitars, ibanez steve vai 90th anniversary MODEL (typemtal and guitar hro) a fender strocaster (versatile, perfect for the big rock), a hohner (rather type blues rock)
the 5:25 complies with the personality of each guitar vai the sounds very easily mtal prsence, the lines sound with fast precision, as the stratum of the NRGi vai but is more balance, less mdiums (more rock), which finally hohner agnralement prsence a tendency to lack of slamming, IDAL is a sound burning to the chorus slow and expressive.

OVERALL OPINION

-Essay for a week.
-I adhore this sound standard in this tiny amp;
It rvle the personality of each of my guitars (blues rock burning in mtal progressive rock through the energetic)
- Expensive, but the price is truly justified by the quality he has no weakness rel
-For comparison, in the entry-level tube combos, the marshall tsl 601 (clear sound flat and less powerful) and vox AC30 CC2 (saturation bizare trs) seem generally less well.
I do it again-this choice? a little early to say ...
