All Tube Amp (three 12AX7 PREAM, two 6L6GC amp.)
50 watt, between high / low gain.2 channels (footswitch optional)
additional HP output, effects loop, tuning class A or A / B.
equalization three bass / middle / treble per channel
bright touches of clear channel and boost the gain saturated.
simple and fairly comprehensive.
a reverb (spring!)
I put 8 in the config, because the fooswitch and sold separately (45 euro!)

UTILIZATION

Easy to use, the manual seems supperflue.
I find it versatile enough funk to metal to jazz, its settings can be found easily with a little patient in the beginning, then it becomes intuitive very quickly.
served with me on a Cort X6 (guitar entry-level). it sounds great and has expressed wonder that ds is pushed a little volume. I test with an Ibanez JEM, ... but happiness.
guide rather rock, metal, it is a comfortable throughout and I love her look half way between the vintage and modern.

SOUNDS

Clear channel I really like the dynamics of the lamps has much to do, I just play the blues with a sound a little thick but very slamming on the medium, a crunch is just that the volume is a bit strong, j Pressing j'obtient instantly bright and crystalline sound and sharp (though even when funk!) without changing my settings.
saturated channel is amazing, its gain is very resonable for rhythm a little hard 80 'on the board, the boost button, adds gain and it becomes very metal with a volume boost option for the solo, it's pens .
Only flaw I find that the settings bass / medium / treble lacks a bit of my efficacitsa gout.cela allowed me to test the effects loop with an equalizer and a delay I find my sounds without problme.je the reverb is pretty average overall.


OVERALL OPINION

Let's be honest, to have a 450 euro all-tube amp and new, is already a miracle.
so do not expect a correction or a Mesa Boogie-Fender supersonic!
but frankly, I let myself be seduced by its sound and versatility.
in short I think it's a very good amp for a reasonable price, power and more than enough for me (I hesitated with 212), and especially you have a lamp and a time we are taste ..... it's magic!
the big minus is the footswitch in options, peavey but do not give it sells well!
once again the only advice I just give is: go try it
