The lamps are not excellent but it was predictable given the price.
Ps: note that the switch board is not provided! you will pay a 30aine euros more.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is simple and rapidly obtained a pleasant sound in the clear.
For the lead channel that is a little more complicated. I never managed to get a clean sound.
I did some concerts and despite its small size, it rivaled a Marshall 4 HP (power of lamps: P)
The amp has the particularity of being able to change the texture between Class A and Class A / B. Personally I've never heard a huge difference (is more of a gadget)

SOUNDS

I play mostly blues / rock / thrash metal (megadeth).
I have a custom epiphone lespaul elite, but I also tried with a jackson kelly.
For the clean sound is a treat. The sound is really good, a little reverb and quickly satisfied.
For lead, the sound is muffled and fat. For my part impossible to use even for metal.
So I use pedals to add gain (fuzz face, boss ds2, bbpreamp signing Timmons) and I am very satisfied with the result. (Hence the note)

OVERALL OPINION

I have since 2008 and I am very pleased with this amp.
I had tried some of them at the time, but I'm really fond of the lamp.
For the price I think it is a good opportunity (a nuance I'm not aware of what is being done now).
I actually bought this amp for clear sound. In the long term be little change lamps for quality but you may just be paying half the lights on the amp (to see).
Personally I serves as a basic amp that comes from clean and I add pedals distortion, phaser etc. as needed. I am satisfied with the result.
