Tube amp (3 pre amp and 2 upstairs), 50 watts. Two entrances, one with more output level than the other, thus allowing a home game without the beast scream, yeah bah 50 watt lamp still

UTILIZATION

It's very easy to use two channels clean / saturation settings, each with their volume, and bass / middle / treble. The clean channel offers an additional mode "bright" which gives a clean enough slamming (I use it only rarely, because too garish for me). Depending on your guitar will clean round, warm, even at low volume, no worries, and then snapping at will. Saturate the clean channel with volume, like all tube amps, and, ca does matter!
Saturation level, there is a button that can boost the volume on the spot but I'm not convinced. There is also a button to boost the gain, and by ca cons sends heavy! I note still a loss of accuracy in the sound, it is less defined when this button is pressed (AC also can just be my guitar who knows ...) We'll crunch and light bluesy distortion to much hard rock, in short a nice range of sounds!

SOUNDS

Its level, personally I love it. This amp is not typed, you do not have the grain FENDER or MARSHALL etc. ... it's a sound on the whole fairly crude it takes work and you're done that pleased me directly. The clean is perfect for my taste, crunch nickel with the volume (note the ears and the neighbors on the other hand ;))
The only drawback is the loss of definition when the button "Gain Boost" is engaged

OVERALL OPINION

It's been 7 months that I have, and I use it often enough, and we can say what you want the whole is perfectly mounted, it's solid! at home or in groups, it is suitable for both situations, on the other hand if you are in an apartment, or in a house rather small, ca may not stick. With the experience I remake that choice for sure. The foot switch is included, for just over € 500, while a lamp, with a spring reverb, 50 watts is perfect. One word: go
