30W amp, all-tube (very strong). gain setting, trebble, medium and serious volume. 2 channel strictly identical. No effect. It's simple and effective.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use, no need to book. Obtaining a "good" depends on the knowledge and desires of each. Personally, I had 3 repeats to get the sound I wanted. Since I do affects more!

SOUNDS

I play in a group of pop / rock French and I use it very clear in his channel1 crunch and distortion with the gain push down CH2. It's a pretty sweet amp, and if you really want to type in the metal it will add a proper pedal: We can not say that the distortion is enormous.
Also I have not managed to get a clear sound really clean. This does not bother me for the style I play, but it's good to know. Finally you must know that accuracy is impressive it just touches, and the sound is changed, it changes the transistor!
As an example, I play it with a Lag Roxanne. And I really love the sound that I have right now.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for three months, and it suits me perfectly. I plan to buy a distortion pedal in addition to the passages a little more nervous. What bothers me most is the footswitch not included! Frankly at that price, they could make an effort.
The price ... this is the rub ... It's expensive. Especially when compared to other all-tube amp that have many more settings and other important details. I tried everything before you buy: Marshall, Fender, Ashdown, Riviera, Mesa Boogie all in a price range between 800 and 1500 euros. I returned to that of ... Why? Because the sound is warm, there is no 10000 settings to make it sound worse and it is beautiful! A favorite kind ...
This choice I do it again no problem. BUT I do not advise to buy it: Whatever one may say, an amp at this price, it's a favorite. I saw 10 different stores and saw sales yell at each other in the store to defend this or that brand! There's no doubt it is the heart that speaks.
