Published on 08/07/11 at 02:03Tube amp: 3 x 12AX7 + 2 x EL84
Real power 25 W!
2 inputs: low and hight gain (two guitars ss. Bp.) + Channel selector
1 channel with clean equ.passsive Bass-Med-Aig and switch "Shine"
A distortion channel with equ.active BMA (the settings are independent / Channel) + level setting input and output level and switch "Boost distortion"
Effects included: Disto. and reverb.
Connection by Jack (Footswitch, HP internal and external connector cab (8 or 16 Ohms)
The icing on the cake: I / O loop effects.
UTILIZATION
The config is simple to clean. A little more complex in saturated (especially at input / output). But you get to play 2 or 3W saturated with the same sound at 20W - I did not push the amp further because my room is too small.
The manual ... Bof! ...
In summary:
- In clean chords (LP or Start) GREAT!! (Heat, light, crystal etc. ..)
- In distortion / OD / crunch starting with a slight crunch / Blues, to a Hendrix or AC-DC and going through great sound SANTANA (even lamps that MESSA-B)
Why this amp is not remanufactured ????????
SOUNDS
In jazz and ES-335 Classic 57 pickups (Clean Gloss + light + Reverb) sometimes with a loop "Chorus"
In Rock and Latino World: PRS SE 24 25th ann. sometimes with a tad of chorus and / or delay and / or Fixed Wha
In all cases Jazz or World ... the sound is absolutely great!
OVERALL OPINION
Used for a month, after many tests to get a sound "Santana".
I received (from OCCAZ. Of course, for 100 euros): rundown: ts the knobs spit, its worse than a saucepan amplified and no reverb ....
3 hours to clean the knobs and contacts, reattach the HP Blue Marvel (who walks on two screws) changed the 5 lamps (50 euros), the reverb clean dry brush and welds redone: the amp lives again like new ... except that no reverb!
Thank you to the sites forums, I found a track to US: Texas IC OP Amp / reverb signal.
Bought 0.5 euros in farnell.com ..... MY NEW PEAVEY IS !!!!!! What a treat! - Foot in the ear!
For those who want to create their box: Make clones Congratulations Peavey 112
Given the posts found on the web about this amp, it should sell well
