« good value for QP »

Value For Money : Excellent
MODEL 2005, bought used 380 this week. Super tat.lampes pramp 12AX7LPS Sovtek EL84 Groove and 4 power tubes. It&#39;s the kind gentleman 30w more. I have an old Marshall Valvestate 8080 80w and which is easily covered by the peavey ...
one between two channels, a boost, a legalization policy, a non-adjustable effects loop, a single spring rverb and no standby or output line out.
Simple, quite efficient. As the purpose of having a good quality price. The weight is correct, portable (the marshall with a single lamp PSE over 10kg) and the convenient size, not too big.
Channel 1 is clear with normment dynamics and musicality but can aisment cruncher to a strat pushing a little volume besides the neighbors will tell you soon!
Channel 2 is splendid crunch, never violent, but if you push out the pre and post, with the boost, even when it was enough to make the kind greasy, always musically trs.
Using blues, blues rock, jazz is too hot and explosive.

UTILIZATION

The sound is always good, not great versatile as a Marshall Valvestate but worth a fender hot rod and more usable (power, weight). It may be clean, with a crystalline strata, but always warm, like rough, raucous rock and well with a les paul. In fact there is no real two channels. uses the same deuxime circuits and the lamp of the first, which explains that there is a diffrence gure gain / overdrive between 2 and 1. The boost gives a nice bump medium, but it loaded quickly.
IDAL this amp is because it accepts pedals well distortion boost, overdrive (Guyatone Zoom Box and TS9), compression, allowing almost everything to do with with power, precision, clarity and dynamic.

SOUNDS

I play the blues, a good fall ... in jazz, it has less, or knobs you have to play the guitar and tempra the heat of the amp. Ct of this I am a bit of.
The clean sounds are slammin, powerful, beautiful, sound and stir well ds the guts you push the volume. How deep, how musicality what punch! the crunch is tip top, although Varis and sweet purring or a choice of overdrive and warm, very nice, never mchant, singing sustain and with a thundering. So no default sound, if not excessive vibration of the springs that hold the lamps, it is apparently known, but 3 or 4 passes of all fawns are no longer heard. ..
The rglages eq are adapted to the blues, not extremists not as marked as a marshall o rglage mediums is king. No "prsence" or "contour" is the roots, the sound is beautiful like a. trs

OVERALL OPINION

Report quality price hell, 600 is more debatable. the occasion makes the thief, I was aiming it a fender deluxe (green almond, this is a must ...) or a Clubster but Rivera is on 900 950 despite the falling dollar and the price nice 380 and the good state of the amplifier to cause the purchase. The fender hotrod it looks a bit more cumbersome, more powerful and therefore less useful if you&#39;re not on scne.
STUDY I will if we can have more vintage sound by changing lamps or HP, but a good guitar amp as a whole is changing and therefore a party can break the sound. But otherwise, I am delighted, if c&#39;tait fills again, the opportunity remake the thief, even if a standby and a rglage of eq t have a greater net more.

Addition 28/02/09

I made a good pitch and I changed the HP for a celestion classic lead 80 and has changed many things. In his clear, the volume is surprising because the performance of HP suprieur trs, a much stronger sound, the sound more clean, more Dfine, beautiful, better suited to jazz and arpges, trs and dynamic, rich and prcis. In crunch, it&#39;s the same, end trs, trs pretty stratum sounds like forever. The Les Paul also, especially on channel 2 thrive o saturation is much better made than the original HP, even if the patch-General for the amp is the m me of course. It is much less rough, the sound is less "cardboard" high saturation or high volume. A small miracle. Mediums are finer, softer, AIGS never aggressive. The trick is done, the sound opens up and breathes, the amp Arelle chang and his style is amazing! This amp is miraculous that price, volume and issue it will calm a lot of crazy drummers even half way only and it will always be good for the blues do not worry.
Last reviewed is better suited to an amp Strats / T as Les Paul, unless you like that sounds harsh tear everything.

Addition May 2010

The deuxime trick to this amp is to change the lamps prampli.
THE FIRST must be a EH12aX7 (Electro Harmonix) because it gives the sweet and clear sound musical. I put two old marshall NOS 12AX7 for the suite and the sound is vintage trs, with a good record of mediums, not aggressive as before, finest and crunches are crmeux. Much less aggressive and dry as with the Sovtek LPS, which are better on other types of amplifiers.

this amp, modified with 60 lamps and a good 90 HP is a great deal bought used. The sound is typical blues / blues rock and is beautiful with vintage guitars ORIENTED, big performance and mini size.
Without these changes, and bought new it&#39;s not really a good deal despite what they say everywhere.
