30W tube amp, 2 channels clean and distortion
For the clean channel: volume
For channel distortion: first (preamp gain) and post (gain of power stage)
Common to both channels: treble, mids, bass, not very practical as a good set of these parameters will be clean does not necessarily distortion.
Boost switch (which I have never seen the interest)
More spring reverb
More tremolo with speed and intensity.
Effects loop with send and return

side diffusers 10 chips that are 2 blue marvel

Note that for a tube amp there is no standby, just an on / off switch

UTILIZATION

Extremely simple to use, no adjustment for me is a plus.
found quickly sounds very usable.
That said, as noted, the fact that both channels share the EQ is not very convenient and it's sometimes difficult to find a setting that sounds on both channels.
I do not use the effects loop but when I tried it, no problem with a chorus or delay.

SOUNDS

Fender was too expensive for me at the time (and still now) and this amp had good review on Harmony Central. I tried it in the store next to a classic 30 and the sounds were very similmaires. I guess because of the two 10, the sound of Delta blues had a little less bass and sounded more flashy, more punchy hence my choice.

I play mostly indie rock, alternative influenced by Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., Yo La Tengo, ... but even more stuff Americana Blues (first black keys). I have several guitars with pickups all but simple.
I mainly use the clean channel or in very light overdrive distortion with pedals.

The clean sound is rich with things to compare to known less brightness than a fender and mids a little harder. It just lacks a little personality but is still usable and we feel the lamps. Pedals and fuzz distos sound great on this channel.

The distortion channel is quite versatile with its two different gains. Without reaching the metal sound if you push thoroughly saturate its not bad. The overdrive is very usable for rhythm and blues I guess the accomplished (I'm not) will find his account without problem.

The reverb is very honest and cavernous when pushed. It provides just enough (for my taste) deep in her if we do not grow too. The tremolo sounds great but when it clicks there is a significant drop in volume, not good live.

Honestly, this amp sounds great but I always found it a little neutral and the sound is a bit harsh, lacking in velvety clean sounds (perhaps a change lamps?). on the other hand, if you play with the pedals, it is never disappointing and especially fuzz sound very differently on the clean channel and overdrive.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost 10 years (I'm not very sure of the date of purchase).
As stated above, I find the sound sometimes a bit too go anywhere even if overall it's still very good. I have since tried including live combos marshals who have not made me envy against it's true that I prefer the Fender clean tones.
on the other hand where this amp shines is its reliability, in 10 years, many rehearsals and concerts, he has never failed. I've never treated badly but I do not pampers and he had his account of spilled beer and kick the spring to vibrate (ok I abused a little) and it still works perfectly.

A remake today, given the plethora of models released since, I'd probably other models but I have never regretted buying this amp.
