T say everything on the subject.
I put 8 for qualisation common to the two channels

UTILIZATION

The manual is not complete trs (it's the least we can say) but hey, there's no real need. one connects and rings.
I play a tele highway that I connect with a live or sd-1 or an OD100 and makes trs trs well.
the amp is versatile trs (but not all mtal trs except add a big distortion pedals ...).
What a simple and effective. 9 / 10 because no one is perfect

SOUNDS

This amp should have done my all / my style of music: classic rock through the latest issue: radiohead, divine comedy, sma pumpk. for reggae: trs good too, the sound is clear and allows a refund well as roots or middle position pickup.
Clean channel: the wheel "presence" allows for a sound trs prcis no crunch unless you want of course! Bon is not a fender but it is good qd same trs.
Lead channel (saturated: the distortion is progressive qd it up the sound, a spit! Good is not a big heavy distortion and modern, but a vintage distortion albeit putting the pr 12, began send! Lack of precision a tad my taste. I add an sd-1 and I have the big sound

AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF USE
I complte this opinion because I just "swap" my C50 against a small combo mesa (Subway Blues) and I realized the diffrence standard for clean sounds. Those are certainly the peavey enjoyable but sometimes lack precision in lead channel, the distortion is "roots" ok but suddenly really lacks precision in arpge, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish notes cheeks .... and when I compare the mesa (which has no saturated channel to which I add my DS1, there is no picture for a second.
therefore a good versatile amp, but not worthy of note that I almost perfect setting him some time ago;)

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two months and I am satisfied with TRS. 50 W (x2 hp 12 ') are effective and can rev a good spread of sound. Trs power is ample to make scne middle aprsy have a subculture on the sound system ... As the cot be no worries, there is room! consideration: weight: 27 kg! but there is something for nothing.
What I like most: versatility, the precision of rglage his look (tweed finish ... it is superb).
I do it again this choice without hsiter ... next time, I think I indulge in a good AC 30 but it is not in my price range!
I highly recommend this amp is also trs reliable APRS everything I've read on the subject.
