All-tube amp, you can not complete.
4 channels

Each channel has a 3 position switch for different styles of sounds.
Channel 1: Clean - Fat - Tweed
Channel 2: Clean - Fat - Brit
Channel 3 and 4: Raw - Vintage - Modern

Can be set individually for each channel:
1) 50 or 100W
2) or double diode
3) Loop or not
4) Reverb

Other settings osnt classic Gain - Treble - Mid - Bass - Presence - Master.

Namely there are two volume levels, the normal and the boost, which can of course adjust.

Finally two modes: Bold and Spongy.

There is a foot switch 7, Channel 1 - 2 - 3 and 4, Reverb, Loop, Boost

UTILIZATION

Complete configuration. You can not ask for much more.
The question is there is there no too?
The settings are the mesa that is, we must spend time.
Each intervention on a knob changes the sound, surprisingly.
The EQ should be handled with tact. Alter the low treble and vice versa.

It gets a good sound?
Clearly yes. Easily ... yes, now the sound you want you will take time.
The big advantage is the range of adjustment. the drawback, it is far from a VOX AC30 with 3 buttons that run behind.

At first provide a little more time on the amp on the guitar.

SOUNDS

I play in a group of compo pop rock and I wished for a wide range of sounds.
The four channels make it easy. you have to go wider on the rack preamp with presets (this is what I finally do).

I played a PRS Custom 24, the cleans are majestic, the effective crunches and outright demonic powerchords.

As for solos, I was not happy with my sound, but again I did not have enough lingered on the set.

OVERALL OPINION

I used 4 months and then switch to a different config.
I liked this amp comprehensive, well finished with a big sound.

However the weight is worthy of a 2 body more than a combo. small shrimp refrain ... Thank you all the same to the wheels really valuable.

I tried a variety of amp, Marshall JCM2000 TSL 100W 2 Body, Fender Pro Tube Series, Vox AC30, Orange Rockverb, Brunetti, ENGL, Genz Benz (has nothing to do) and some others ...

I like his personal mesa is typed, it sounds, ca respects the sound of scratching. in short, everything to please me.

Engl is too flashy for me and the others are less versatile.
Value, it's expensive, it is very expensive but I think it's an amp that is kept (yes I know that has not been my case).

All I can say is that the scratch to buy the rest of my ass every time that the branch ...!!!
