UTILIZATION

The config is simple in a large volume ft EQ per channel (+ gain for the side distortion which is rather reassuring ^ ^).

SOUNDS

I play mostly metal, can clean a lot of possibilities, the personal is always switched on bright but after that it depends a lot on your guitar, without the bright is a little soft ..
For the distortion: the beginning I liked it (past the 158 has a rage 15W 50W lamps necessarily ...) but I found it lacked a bit of potato and accuracy ..
I buy a Boss metal-core (very good by the way ...) and no problem, the amp responded well, his precise, dynamic ..
But then I noticed the amp and not the pedal, the distortion of origin is average, at least it does not suit me.

Resonance for the button, I find that when it is switched on the sound becomes too rough ..
[edit2]: This button is not the resonance that makes the distortion rough but when you put the low knob above 1 / 3!
Selector for the class A / AB I do not think there have a real change of power but just! Tried a louder volume (I play only a town house so good ^ ^)!

All that to say that by adding a distortion pedal you have a beautiful clean and a nice distortion to match worthy of the higher-end amps for a total price of that of a randall rg50!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for Christmas this year, since I love distortion pedal all on this amp! I had already tried in the store but he had less convinced that now because I played there for some months and not know something in the settings gd ^ ^.
The quality / price seems right for an all-tube amp entry level compared to line 6, randall ...
With the experience I would do that choice again!

Edit: I forgot to mention the footswitch, a disaster ... it does not control the boost on the clean channel, no switch on / off the reverb (in contrast to that of Randall), it is not even provided with the manufacture and seems a bit mean! So I lower the note is 9!

Already mentioned.
For making several small scenes, I felt no lack.

UTILIZATION

Setup could not be more simple. 3-band EQ per channel.
The distortion is warm enough and ranges from simple overdrive at a small disto hard enough.
Caution, however, not to mention the knob that is behind and who can change the "class" of the amp. Basically, more or less power, so do not forget if you want to send some more!
Otherwise, you turn, it sounds live. This is what I like.

SOUNDS

Is perfect for my style of music (Red Hot, RATM, Police, No Doubt, everything that moves and sending).
I play a PRS or a cort in the style. I change according to the good of his guitar. The amp only distorts nothing. The heat lamp is present whatever is said, and I just love the look of the non-typed.

I put 8 because I have never had the pleasure of a small forced Mesa thoroughly. So I have nothing to compare, if not the heads JCM (800, 900 etc ...) I tried to repeat, and all the amps (including mesas), I have a small pushed in stores.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months with some early dates, I'm really happy, especially for the price I confess. I tried lots of amps: Mesa, Marshall, Rivera, Vox and more. Either the sound was very distinctive and I did not, or I could not see anything extraordinary to justify the price.
The guy told me: Well listen, I have this one, at value for money is unbeatable, but it does not have much personality.
I tried it ... and put it on immediately.
For some, this lack of specificity is a default, an amplifier to have its own sound. For me, it decided that the guitar style and especially the affected, so the attack. The amp is only to amplify and embellish the sound, not the typing (just the heat of the lamps what). So I was very happy with this amp.

Note though that like any tube amp, one realizes what he has in the belly on stage. It is not by trying to a volume in the store or that can be realized if the guts of the amp or not. (Hence the usefulness of the advice)
So I played on stage and he did not disappoint. Other guitarists with whom I also played me all remarked: It sounds your amp, how much you have paid?
When I told them they make me 400 euros a head pretty funny. Especially when they play on a Rivera or a mesa at 1200 euros ...

Trs Bon's
Canal's Claire is really perfect sound is round and warm
disto no personality -> 6 / 10

modif a year later saw the quality of sound in clear (very hot) over the dcevante distortion pedals I bought a double distortion of blender and the artec lectrochoc
is another amp that is more enhanced I advise everyone! So now 10/10

OVERALL OPINION

Very good amp, I would do what I choose with hsit randall 50 W lamp but a little too mtal for me and with the 212 but 112 is smaller and lighter for a good sound you must use lights up which is not the case on the 212
Excellent price earning it 10/10
I've had it with the footswitch 420 brand new!

with the pedals on the clean channel is 10/10

I would like if those who have tried this amp in the store with a power of 1 / 10 does not leave because of the opinion to put its views on a tube amp you have to push!

Peavey tube amp 50 watts RMS
2 channels with bright switch on clean channel and boost volume / saturation for the channel distortion
HP control resonance and texture (amp in Class A or A / B)
spring reverb (very bad, and no insulation!)
effects loop
HP output for external 16 ohm
guarantee of 5 Ansil weighs 23 kilos, which is reasonable.
For cons, the footswitch is not included, which is rather unfortunate <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="" />

UTILIZATION

Nothing really revolutionary on the front, use is nothing fancy, it's simple and classic, not need the manual.
Use level, the big problem is the equalization of channel distortion, which does not really effectively change the sound of the amp. The HP also limits the amp itself.
Finally, the switch A / AB does not have much, a small difference in volume and grain, no nothing to shit on the walls. As against the frequency control of the HP is quite nice, and allows to vary the tone of the amp.

SOUNDS

The VK is quite versatile, can play a lot of different styles, even if it is not predestined to metal: lack of bass, gain, precision. Too bad I play mostly in this style This is the clear sound that surprised me most about this amp, really nice, friendly, with good balance, while being faithful to the signal of your scratch. If you play mostly in the clear, this amp is worth it. In crunch is as bad as, pretty well anything vintage. Finally in heavy distortion, the HP shows its limits: blatant lack of precision, frequencies that are poorly staged you can not have a muffled sound or loud: the boost, the only way to have a real big distortion adds a lot of treble, and equalization of the amplifier is aps accurate enough to fill all this. Amp its pretty clear then, but the rot really disto HP (jme request anyway it is a V30, but hey ...). A high volume, however, the quality of the amplification of Bouzin catches a little thing, you end up with one's really not bad!

OVERALL OPINION

The price is nice for an all-tube, but only if you play light or small OD or distortion. It's been two and a half years that I have this amp, and I do not have that choice would do, because I play mostly the metal ever since. The distortion of VK is disappointing for all the styles a little violent. Note that I think with a change in HP, this amp would gain enormously in quality!

Its clear you can do it cheerfully cruncher, with respect to the channel and dirty if you do not have the sound you want to put your bin and the harp.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year and I have nothing honntement redire.J have read in these pages that sounded transistor ... What a joke, 3 12AX7 and two 6L6 you will tell me that a transistor sound? With a choice of A and A / B push pull.Avez you in France at the same amps we Qubec.Un TS9 in the ass and go my KIKI.

- What kind of amplification: Lamps (3x12AX7 2x6L6 +)
- What is the dlivre power: 50W
- What are the rglages, the effects ... : 2 channels clean and distortion.
volume each time rglage acute, medium and severe and reverb (common to both channels)
With, for the clean channel a button to "boost" the treble, which adds clarity what button is not a accesoire ...
And a distortion channel gain setting a button to boost the distortion (shown on the footswitch).
And a selector at the back Class A / AB and a button rsonance.

UTILIZATION

- The configuration is it simple as another combo, turn the pots of qualiseur, we increase the volume and go.
- Gets it easy to sound good: Yes
- The manual is clear and sufficient: OCCAZ purchased, so no manual included but this is easily on the peavey site. it is clear

SOUNDS

- Is it your style of music I make punk rock, grunge, I used the clean channel with pedals and I completely agree.
- With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) you play: a lag - Roxane, my effects are prfr mtal muff, and od - 2 boss .
- What kind of sound you get and with what rglages: on the clean channel I put low 8 / 9, Mid 5 / 6, TREB 6 / 7 with the treble boost button, I get a round and Crystal clear (a real clean sound a lamp) on, I put my disto and sends ca!
- What are the sounds you prfrez, you dtest: the clear sound terrible, you can add what you want. But the channel distortion and far too serious for me. AIM me I use this channel more often to enjoy the lights, but I have yet to figure out how to use it well ... if it can be used ...

OVERALL OPINION

- How long you use it: 1year 1 / 2
- What is the particular feature you like best, the least: As a 50w that price.
the least: the distortion channel too serious.
- Have you tried many other models before acqurir: yes, but with a budget ricrac.
- How do you report qualitprix: the best of the market.
- With the exprience, you do again this choice: Yes. and I recommend it to all the world.
Honestly, unless you have large jobs at home and wanting abatre Wall, 50w is more than enough. I play in bars, and festival without being taken on a sound, he always assured. He made kilometers in my chest and he did not move. I think can be added to a baffle for better dissemination ...

Type-amplification: All lamps (2 + 3 12AX7 6L6GC)
-Power: 50 Watts, but it sends a lot more than for the same power transistor (logic)
-Connectors: Input Jack -2 guitar, High Gain and Low Gain
A-2 FX Loop with Jack Connectors (Send + Return)
-A jack on the rear panel for Foostwich
Note, no headphone jack, but in theory it's good not to play in the room!
Settings: 2 channels, clean and lead, with each channel EQ Bass, Middle, Treble + reverb common to both channels. Note that a boost of volume and gain is available for the Lead channel and a boost for the Bright Clean.

Nothing to say the above 9 because of the headphone jack (must be a little difficult ein = D)

UTILIZATION

The configuration is relatively simple, we get a good sound easily in the équializer tampering and playing with the boost.

The manual is clear, no complaints.

SOUNDS

Ah, let's go in the thick of it!
I should point out first that I mainly play a Epiphone Les Paul Studio and soon with a Fender Telecaster Deluxe, I would do if I think an edict change ^ ^

For style, I play mostly punk rock Californian sauce Blink 182, Green Day, etc ...

In terms of its clean: Good clean sound, fairly round, it becomes very active when slamming the boost, but it has not much personality, there is enough going on everywhere (advantage or disadvantage for that matter). With stuffed my Les Paul bass, the boost is almost all the time on, and it makes really not bad for the arpeggios and sounds cleans at all genre.Pour to effects pedals on it's nickel, it even improves the sound pedals! I went from a Roland Cube 15 to Valveking too, so it's clear that it has nothing to do!

Drive sound: I was a little disappointed initially by the distortion of the amp, but must say that as the hours of use I was charmed!
This gives a sound with a nice grain, limited vintage, without being runny or type in the cold and the metal! It was one of my biggest fears before trying to have a metal type sound, but actually not, it is more versatile and built for rock than metal! (I wonder also how to play the top of the metal, after that probably comes from my guitar too ^ ^). The sound is rather rich media, not aggressive enough nor ca head off the kind Randall and others.
For my style of music, it suits me, it's pretty happening everywhere. Good is not the height of a very very good all-tube, but it starts to feel good sound lights, real sound, and just for that it is quite interresting.
The real plus bring a boost for solos, although it becomes a bit messy the gain past 3 / 4.
I rarely exceeds half the gain, that's enough, we get a nice little sound at the Green Day or Sum, without forcing on the set!
As against the past 3 / 4 it gets really very brouilon, so for the most accurate phrasing metal, it's not top top!

Sounds good in general, it enters the world of lamps, and have a sound of that quality for under 400 euros, is already a very good thing.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one month now, but I've already spent a lot of hours on it!
I bought it to repeat, and the power is sufficient for LAAAAAAARGEMENT repeated!

What I like most: The price! All lamps 400 euros, it's made in china but it's still nice to be able to pay any lamps that price!
The power of sound! It sounds, and it sends the puree in repeated! The drummer had better watch out! (Niaaaark!) against the other, for those who intend to buy it to play in the room, quickly forgotten, barely past 1 2 The volume ca shakes the walls, the neighbors will not appreciate!
The clean sound and distortion not too far! The clean sound is pretty versatile and lends itself to all the pedals, distortion and without being too far gives a really nice sound!

What I like least: The weight! It feels good to spend the 23 kg when to carry it!
The distortion too far! It is rough and not accurate at all, not for the metal! (Surprising from Peavey!)

I try a Randall 50GT, and it does not really suit me, too metal type!

The price / quality ratio is pretty good after all! We must not forget that this price was, the components are necessarily "cheap", so it's far from being the best all-tube amp ever seen, but for those who want to pay any lights without having to type in the 600 700 euros, go for it!

With experience, surely I would do this choice because in my Buget (max 500 euros) was one of the few lamps provide all the sound quality.

All Tube Combo, 50W clean channel / saturated with bright and boost, respectively, in 2 inputs, effects loop, footswitch between channels to control the boost in more saturated output for sending sound from speakers .

APRS is classical, we can rgler bass, mdiums, treble, volume, gain, reverb ...

See other reviews for the rest.

UTILIZATION

Ample for all, an amp, not a factory gas rgler.

SOUNDS

Well, the a is complicated ...

Ok, it's just a lamp, but it does not delight everyone.

Basically, I bought this amp a year ago, to OCCAZ, original quip. In clean, no problem, it's clean, beautiful, warm, round, ringing a lamp, is the 10/10.

In distortion has to gte, if one goes too gain and volume, a sound again, if you push a little bte, there's nothing more than "it's ugly! "

This amp in orgine configuration is made for the blues / funk / pop / stuff trs low distortion, for mtal / rock big sound, we forget for a year, I really suffered.

But because there is a but, there are 2-3 weeks, I inquired more about the Valveking and I Discoveries and why and how ... Basically, the lamps are not gniales without being corrupted, and above all is the HP which is cool.

So I changed there is a short week for the HP Eminence Wizard 12 '/ 16ohms, and all the lights for Tube Amp Doctor (for REFERENCE contact me by PM I remember l. ..)

Rsultat, I have the same amp ... It's another world is more povylent Finally, for me, I can finally kick the big distos, I finally saturated channel worthy of the name, and I speak not even boost , which boosts finally dignity!

Ms. pushing the balls its bottom, the notes come out in note and not pure pea is net prcis it is beautiful that's all.
So original, it is good but basically sound. Reman is good at everything. I put 8 because if I played the blues but I put 10 as his rather large bah even when I can not put 10.

But even when trs good amp!

OVERALL OPINION

Acquired over more than a year, trs good opinion of bte, considering the price for the whole lamp is bread bni.

APRS see what I say in sound. Sounds is fine, unless you want mtalliser, the must prvoir some modifications.

APRS, with modifications, it is doing with an amp out of proportion to the original version that rivals some I've experienced marshal.

Some good huh, because a will still not a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier or Soldano.

But look the other way, today I have the sound I expected, while a lamp for less than 500, the ball!

50W all-tube, clean channel, channel saturated reverb spring (not top), an effects loop.

UTILIZATION

Conventional configuration, plug and play.

SOUNDS

It has its own personality, overall sound rather aggressive
Clean bright and round, almost slamming.
Saturation to crunchy metal, but in the hard-rock/heavy it finds the best placement in my opinion.

Anyway it sounds a whole lot better than most of the transistors at the same rate, it has all the dynamics of a lamp.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 4 years, mainly to play metal at the start (it does very well with a good distortion pedal), I use it now to register a more rock / funk.
This model is for me a reference for money in the combos in this range, one lamp while the price is just excellent!

50 W tube amp
Sold without footswitch (40 € extra)
Made in China.

UTILIZATION

Very simple fix. There is little time to warm up.
Some knobs and away!

SOUNDS

The clean sound is superb. I play with my Fender Start or my ESP LTD KH-603, this makes good. One senses the difference between the two guitars. I found him a nice little side vintage.

The popping sound of the amp is great with the stratum (with a seymour duncan bouble rail). I have a sound Rock'n Roll cunchy nice.
But to the metal: not worth it.
So I use an overdrive Vox Joe Satriani. The sound is excellent for Heavy Metal. Those who would make Death, should avoid this amp is limited to this function.

Finally, the asset, this amp is that it has a potato in hell! Sound! It covers the nags of drummers!

The disadvantage is that it sounds too low: the sound crashed.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 2 years. I troll for rehearsals and concerts ... Moreover it is very heavy .... too heavy ....
This is an amp that suits me fine, I am the Blues, Jazz, Rock and Hard Rock. So it is very versatile. Then, I would advise the amateur guitarists who like me are passionate about music but who do not live, and who need a powerful combo, with good sound and versatile.
I had no problems with reliability.

I would do this election if it would be

The Peavey ValveKing 1x12 is designed to be a "boutique" style combo amplifier on a budget, and it certainly does that. The features are as follows:

*Two channels - clean and drive
*Separate equalization controls for each channel (bass, middle, and treble)
*Onboard spring reverb
*Resonance switch (for a tighter or looser feel to the amp)
*Series effects loop
*50 watts of power, delivered by a pair of 6L6GC power tubes

The amp also features a "bright" mode on the clean channel, allowing more top end frequencies to come through. The drive channel features a gain boost as well as a volume boost. These controls are activated by push buttons on the front panel or you can buy the matching footswitch to control them. The last really cool feature that this amp has is a dial on the back that allows you to go from full Class A operation (warmer, more vintage tone) to full Class A/B (louder, more focused tone) or anywhere in between. It is nice because it gets one step closer to the true "boutique" feel of those high dollar channel switching amps used by the pros!

UTILIZATION

What is great about Peavey amplifiers I find is their ease of use. I purchased this amp brand new out of a box and took it right home. Right away I was able to dial in tones that were to my liking, and worked in both home jamming as well as band settings. I used the amp for many different styles in various rock, blues, jazz, and shred/metal projects all with great ease.

The channels are laid out very simply, and there is no guesswork to what the various controls and functions do. The clean channel is very clean, great for softer styles, but also versatile enough to go from country to jazz simply by using the guitar's volume/tone knobs or the EQ on the amp. The drive channel is the same way. I was able to go from AC/DC or Led Zeppelin style classic tones to Yngwie esque shred tones with ease and all the while the amp sounded great and performed flawlessly!

SOUNDS

When I had this amplifier, my main guitars were a Parker Fly Deluxe USA, an AllParts/WD Music Strat with DiMarzio HS-3 pickups, as well as various Yamaha electrics. When I bought the amp, I was using a Yamaha DG-60 combo and wanted a proper tube amplifier to get a step closer to the sounds I was hearing in my head. As I stated above, the channels are very versatile, and there are lots of sounds to be had within.

The clean channel is a great, almost Fenderlike clean. Using a darker setting with the EQ and the bright switch disengaged yielded a wonderful jazzy texture that worked very well for the Latin band I was playing with at the time. However, I was able to switch the bright mode on and dial in a bit more treble and, using a single coil, get a killer sound for chicken pickin'. This was especially effective on my Parker Fly, which has a coil tap function, so I was able to go from darker to brighter with great ease. I should also mention that this clean channel sounded great with the piezo (acoustic) pickup on the guitar... very natural and uncompressed.

The drive channel was easily my favourite feature of the amp. Even after purchasing a Mesa Boogie Mark III head and Basson Sound B212 cabinet a year later to upgrade, I kept the VK112 around for a few months to A/B the two. While the ValveKing did sound noticeably thinner (due to the single 12") I still was able to get very smooth, Boogie esque lead tones from this channel. I often used the amp in conjunction with various modified overdrive units and preamps custom built for me, but there were times that I would leave the pedalboard at home and plug straight in. I never was disappointed with the drive tones from this amp. Like the clean channel, I was able to dial in many different stylistic tones from vintage to modern. The onboard gain boost was very useful when I would venture into metal territory (though the amp is not designed to have endless amounts of saturation... the drive channel is more of a singing "vocal" tone.) and the volume boost was nice as well, though I didn't buy a footswitch for the amp so I couldn't use it effectively.

It is definitely a great sounding amp no matter how you slice it. It sounded equally decent with humbuckers or single coils I found. I found myself using 100% Class A mode for a more vocal esque tone unless I needed a bit more punch, in which case I would dial it over to Class A/B mode.

OVERALL OPINION

All in all I was extremely impressed with this amplifier. For the $450 I paid for it, it delivered a whole wealth of great tones and voices. Though some of the stock pieces (tubes and speaker) were obviously weak points to an extent, they didn't really detract from the tone, and I really enjoyed this amp for the year or so that I owned/used it. Peavey gear has been something I have used an abundance of over the years and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this amplifier to anyone looking for a great tube amplifier on a reasonable budget. It's not going to have enough chugging gain for modern metalists without a boost, but for those seeking something as a versatile, vocal sounding amplifier, look no further than the Peavey ValveKing!

This is one extremely versatile combo amp. It has two channel one for clean and then one for a dirty tone. Both channels are very usable and voiced for a great rock n roll sound. The amp has a ton of features like reverb and a bright switch as well as a boost switch for the lead lines.

The amp is voiced more in the British flavor of things. Even though it has 6L6 power tubes which is more used in American metal tones, the amps overall is more toward the British voicings. The tone is remarkable for being at the price point that it is in.

The only thin I don't like about this amp is the effects loop in on the front of the amp. this means if you use the effects loop you will have 3 cables running in the front of this beats and couple that wit a mic then you are getting crowded.

SOUNDS

If you keep the amp in the clean channel and click the bright switch in the off position then you get a solid jazz tone that is rich and full bodied. It is a very warm tone great for jazz riffs and runs. If you click the bright switch on then you get a great spanky country clean tone. All you need then is to add a little reverb and you are golden.

When you go over to the dirty channel this is where things heat up. The tone is very thick and chunky. I like this tone with a medium to low body tone such as an ash or alder bodied guitar. This get your tone to cut ore when you have such a beefy distortion tone.

OVERALL OPINION

For the money it doesn't really get any better than this amp. At new these amps come in at around $400, which in my opinion is a steal for a solid two channel amplifier. The ability to switch from class A to AB is another remarkable feature this amp has.

would recommend this amp to anyone who is on the lookout for a great sounding combo amp that won't break the bank and that has real tubes in it. There is no modeling or solid state design in this amp...just real tube distortion and thick colorful clean tones.

Tube amp 2 channels + boost.
Footswitch not included (available on some sites Teutonic)

UTILIZATION

The amp is very versatile, we can find a sound that fits on this machine, since it has a true clean channel with two sounds (with or without the "bright" on), and a channel saturated covering still a lot of possibilities, with a boost bonus. It has four possibilities, not bad. The footswitch is not included, so bought the amp as it obviously is a little way, and it is not clear that the shop that sells you the receiver has the switch in stock (live Germany) . Count 50 euros extra.
Once this gap filled, it is a delight to use.
I put 8 because of the footswitch to buy separately, I personally do not find relevant to put the pedal option to lower the purchase price is rather cons-productive, since it is cheap to me , adding the 40 or 50 euros needed ... M'enfin ...

SOUNDS

The strong point of this amp is the versatility. It has a range of quality sounds very broad. Personally I found the sounds that I agree on 2 channels.
Now, I do not consider that the sounds are delivered the most beautiful I've ever heard, I will just never put double or triple to get the clear sound of a Fender, for example: I love the sound a Twin when I hear someone make a good solo on it, but it's not for me. I can not play on a Fender is like this. I am better playing on the clean channel of the Peavey. What I say is valid with a Classic 50, I feel more at home on it as a Twin or Hot Rod ... And more saturated it is downright better than a Fender! So I will not compare with any brand either, Marshall, Mesa and other, this is not the purpose of the maneuver. I just want to explain that crashes sometimes stubbornly want this amp, amplifier type can also pollute your sound, keep you from moving forward. Extensive debate has its place rather in a forum, at least if your repertoire covers many styles, if you're not obsessed with Keith Richards and Jimi Hendrix (Random), better get an amp like ValveKing seen its price. If you have the dough for a Mesa Boogie, take the Mesa.
Small clarification: the weak point of this is the Peavey HP (but originally it usable), mine is expecting a Celestion very soon, to be continued.

OVERALL OPINION

Versatile tool for those who spend so heavy funk to Led Zep through the blues in its price range the ValveKing has no conccurents, considering what it proposes.

Edit of 06/04/2010: I changed the HP and put a Celestion classic 8O. The sound is clearer, sharper as well as being less aggressive, battery hair what I wanted, and the 2 channels have clear and lead change. Start with my marriage is perfect. With a good Les Paul (which I construed, sniff), it is hell too. So after changing, I would say value for money always interesting (340 euros + 120 euros amp for the switch and the HP).

OVERALL OPINION

I play for 2 years for the price .... dessu what to ask for more?? 350 euros .... nine .... very good quality / price
I tried other models without considering the price offered ... ..... Friends have the best and worst ....
for some modif's like you have an electronics friend he can make it almost perfect ..... .... to suggest that youth who have a tight budjet.

UTILIZATION

Really it is super easy to use, just read the manual, but must speak English = /
The configuration is simple to share knowledge to properly use buffs and lamps.
We get it fast enough sound really big! It

SOUNDS

agree perfectly with my folk metal!
Sound can be fat and heavy, but also more precise, and with him forget the distortion pedal, it will be too violent sinn.
Ptite The reverb is really appreciable, its Chalu HERD lamps is beautiful!
I can do much heavier than the specific distortion.
As it is very clean claquand even if we put the treble boost, and volume too high (over half) it tends to have a cruncher.
But frankly I find it a lil defect is sometimes too heavy, but otherwise I love it with my Cort X2 (and I would love it even more with my EC1000 LTD) since

OVERALL OPINION

Use 1 year and a half I tried marshals, engel, mesa boogie line 6, kustom, but my favorite is for him!
Like not just weight, difficulty of transportation, but I like the sound it out myself!
Price impeccable quality, yes yes yes! I would do this choice!!
