All-tube amplifier 50Watt, 2 channel gain and EQ, but separate volume pool, 2 x guitar, a loop, reverb and 2 bowls.

UTILIZATION

Super simple setup, the sound is very fast there, the EQ is quite effective volume and earnings are leveled. The knobs are very large, the switch too. Is very nice. The use poses no problem really is so simple and basic. A volume / gain for the clean and two separate knob for the drive (named for the pre and post gain for volume). A master section very useful.

SOUNDS

The clean sound is very "light" that is very dynamic and enveloping. It can be slammed as a fender, but it has more heat, the beautiful mid-bass and serious. With sh-4 I had to clean up the volume up to 6 or 7 to begin to saturate and that's pretty neat, it does not saturate immediately.
The sound is typed saturated fat overdrive sounds somewhere to Orange, this one is far from Fender. It's a bit of marshall and more beautiful, cleaner and wider as well, hence my coparaison with Orange. It goes from clean to overdrive very large ideal for all that will be in the English rock or AC / DC, but no more gain level. It is not an overdrive and distortion sounds and then these will need a pedal.
The entrance is relatively bright bizarre dedant my guitar sound was not much clearer, but I lost against a lot of momentum and scale. This is an entry that reminds input "2" fender of some, but not called bright, on the contrary ...

OVERALL OPINION

On the same day and various shops I played it several times and compared to all other lamps (HotRod JCM900 TSL122 AC30 F30) and for me it was the best. I think when I sub I would take it because I really enjoyed playing it and the distortion pedal going very well too. the clean is for me better than the hot rod because it saturates much more slowly than the fender (which saturates the gain to 2) and is a little warm, saturated sound, too, with its much fender more loud and rough that peavey typed English.
