Amplification Type: lamps (pre: 3 x 12AX7, amp: 4 EL84).
HP 12 inch Blue Marvel (its very hot, round, and collects a lot of power).
Power: 30W Tube
Effects loop (we would have liked a volume on the effects loop), exit HP additional footswitch output.
Basic settings for an amp, but only one EQ for both channels (overdrive channel is actually boosted the channel clear). Presence of a boost button to accentuate the upper midrange. Spring reverb.
7 / 10 because not stand bye and footswitch not included, for the rest, no problem.
UTILIZATION
Configuration is very simple, it finds its very easy, the manual offers some examples of settings (rock, country, metal and blues)
SOUNDS
I play with a Mexican Start and this amp allows me to play nearly any style. It is extremely versatile (great big rock, pop, funk, blues, modern sounds, vintage etc ...) to the metal as it goes but there should be a good distortion pedal between the guitar and amp settings and adequate level the equalizer (you still have to clarify that the basis is not an amp set for that). It is a relatively typed amp anyway, we like it or not, the sound is pretty loaded in medium and high amp and very direct.
I mainly play on the clean channel, the guitar is plugged directly into the ampicillin or with a Boss ME50 multi-effects. All sounds nikel spend the distos, modulation etc ... I used very little of the effects loop.
Live (no effect) the sound is remarkably warm, round, slamming and precise (less than but close fender anyway)
The channel offers a distos well saturated rock, gonna have a big crunch of the overdrive (I find it lacks a bit of gain, in fact you get more than a large overdrive distortion ca se, but can already play acdc, deep purple with no problems) When I want a larger distortion, I add a boost pedal input and the problem is solved.
I do not use the boost button, the sound is dirty and unnatural.
The reverb is effective but adds a lot of noise so I would like to use one of my multi-effects.
OVERALL OPINION
I bought mine 4 months ago nine 550 euros. I had some small problems at the beginning: microphone lights, vibration and so on. I had to do for service, I returned lamps that would not last short, a whole bunch of little things that have nearly make me regret my purchase at a given time. Upon reflection, I do it again this election if it again, this is my first tube amp, I am quite satisfied. Before I played on a Marshall AVT50 nothing to do (although I still love my marshall)!
Plus: The sound, versatility, the look, finish quality, ease of use, size and power
Value for great price.
The least: General design of the amp really below: quality of the body (vibrations at certain frequencies), the problems of vibration of the lamps very often, it gets hot in the back, reliability problems encountered in a lot of people , transformer noise, there is no stand bye.
