«  Big sound, versatility, it provides! »

Published on 07/25/10 at 13:08
Light amplification, 5 * 2 * 6L6GC and 12AX7.
An input switch with high / low.
2 channels, 3 band EQ, resonance, presence, and the footswitch loop (switching from one channel to another, and whether the activation loop).

All that delivers 60 Watts true (under 16, 8 or 4 Ohms), although sturdy in 2 HP 12.
It is approaching 40 kg, quite heavy, the wheels will be welcome in the future (Be easy to install yourself).


UTILIZATION

The configuration is simple, we take it in hand soon. There is not 50 possible settings making it easier to spot.
It is plug and play very quickly.
The settings are effective without being extraordinary, but with a good guitar behind they are ample.
The clean channel sounds fate of crystalline, that can push (via switch) to the sound driver and get a nice little crunch.
The channel saturation is simply insane, big sound assured! The sound is very distinctive, large disto "Rican" to go with the Peavey leg.
The amp is therefore positioned in register more rock-metal, but can quickly be surprised by his versatility, he will go very well see Jazz blues ... si si!

SOUNDS

I play mostly rock, heavy industrial rock with Gibson Les Paul, Stratocaster, 'Musicman amp and this found its place in the register.

The sound is rich, with lots of harmonics, good bass (the couple of 12 is not for nothing ...) and treble that does not make you whistle ears after half an hour of use .. .
So I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this combo, especially for its versatility. It was used a month in a jazz guitarist, soul, troubleshoot, and the gentleman was conquered by the beast.
Note that with good guitar sound at the base is already good, the amp it only amplifies the signal and this one does it very well! That's what I wanted.

OVERALL OPINION

I always use it since I acquired it, and I would do this choice without a doubt.
The price is clearly affordable opportunity to enter the world of all-tube, I think it's a good first choice for those who do not yet know what all-tube amp to choose.
Its default is versatile with a lack of personality ...
