UTILIZATION

The configuration is simple but the amp draw a bit to the treble and thus it is difficult settle. We must take time to find the right rglages especially for average earnings (rock) the bte tends race. As against the resonance really brings a big plus maintenance of sound including bass.
It does not heat up too much over some combos

SOUNDS

It is ideally suited my style of music but it is not Thor to prvu in the clean channel but I find it terrible in this range of sound.
I play on Stratocaster, Jazzmaster, and DeArmond (humbucker) sound is warm and does not bleed, it is a formidable precision. The sound of the guitar is transcribed trs Fidler

As for the crunch even notice that the clear sound but watch the attack of the strings.
The channel can be exploited for saturated styles of music most extreme. Not even with his somewhat Marchall typ fat (6L6 forces).
I never use the reverb, but it can be effective.
Trs important thing: let the heat long enough the sound will be better.
The disadvantages: the breath (or clear the rglage saturated gain for rock sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

I had purchased for his dpart lamps (6L6) and I found not in the other brands (or Twinreverb JCM 800) A model really suited my needs.
I use it for 6 or 8 years is an amp trs particular that could be called modern for those looking for an amp Polyval must try it!
In the same way as a Marshall, Fender, Mesa Boogies Riviera (price I got no reason), Laney, Gibson, H & K, the big combo has its place and fits comfortably in many fields.
