Best value: Poor
Well then, ultra simple, all-tube amp, 20w, 2EL84 and 4 12AX7, connectivity options for a small combo: returm and effect send, tuning the mix, the HP switch to record alone.
level adjustment, it can not be simpler:
- Volume
- Treble,
- Middle,
- Bass,
- Reverb (reverb and how!)
I put 9 because it is very simple but in this case, there is not need more, everything is there!

UTILIZATION

Not complicated, you plug it sounds, the régalges are very effective and wickedly accurate, no need for manual although there are small subtleties: the middle turns and gain from the 1 / 2 and suddenly the fact cruncher amp, a treat. Good is already well up the volume to make it crunch!
I put 10 because it gets its its very easy but there are plenty of shades to find even with so few settings

SOUNDS

Then there is a 10 without hesitation. slap! How accurately, what a difference with my 50 classic, yet I liked him c't'ampli. but there are no pictures, its just madness ....
I mount the volume to 1 / 3 (though it's "just" a 20w), and I put the knob of theft. my tele-bottom, I could not believe my ears, the harmonics in every sense, and always this accurate settings and sound, all played under the fingers (a bit like a AC 30). You scratch it sounds, you attack, it takes off altogether. I rediscovered my Micor free!!
With a distortion pedal (DS1 in my case) it mind-blowing, sound and personality of the guitar are well respected, a lot of personality

And what power to 20 W, I really can not believe ...

The sounds are warm and crystal clear at once (!), It snaps, it's good

OVERALL OPINION

I have a few days ago, and I'm not ready to part with it for that. This amp is, I think, quite versatile blues, rock, reggae, funk, jazz, anything goes. My favorite is the precision of sound, clear sound with distortion, we control everything "fingers". I tried an F50 and an Mark3 but they were too expensive for me ... for me it against his awareness of the mesa. Well with this little subway, I find that sound. I found the sound, my sound!
I do it again this choice with his eyes closed, except that it is rather rare in OCCAZ
I highly recommend it
