Value For Money : Excellent
All-tube amp (3 x 12AX7 and 2 x in pramp 6L6GC power), 50W, 2 instrument inputs, an effects loop, a HP Output 8 ohms, a jack for the footswitch (not livr.deux CHANNELS with EQ on each channel. The clean channel possde a bright switch which is actually a boost of up mdiums priori, and which also has the effect of increasing Whereas the volume of the channel when it is engaged.
Distortion channel for an SETTING THE gain more, and two switches: a gain boost (which also necessarily acts on the volume), and a boost in volume that is noticeable only when the channel e voume saturated is at least 12.
An on / off switch and a standby.
Therefore quite complete, t must have a line out with possibly an HP emulation for transplanting. But hey, with a red box, the problem is rsolu. The footswitch does have fun too, the DDI MODEL possde LED indicator for channel and for the boost. The reverb is not switchable with the footswitch (thus only changing the channel, and gain boost / L channel volume saturated as it would make a nice t deuxime footswitch to act only on the gain boost, or boost the volume, and to bypass the reverb.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is fairly simple. 3-band EQ on each channel. The subtle will be in the possibility of rglage Class A / AB switch and a small varying rponse HP to bring out more or less bass.
This gives her her very easy. The trs rglages are basic, but effective.
No big surprise rglage in fact so. Knob on the rear to "drag" Class A Class AB changes the rendering, but I personally do not touch anymore (Class AB background)
Note that the volume is effective rglage ds dpart, no abrupt jump (which is sometimes the case and makes the amp unusable in an apartment)

SOUNDS

It is ideally suited my style of music. Currently, I play in a formation which contains the classic rock of the years 60-70 (Many Elvis). It does rev well clear. However my personal style is much more Hard Rock, Pop or rock, and again it is Submitted. In my opinion, he can get away in a few prs all styles, except possibly a distortion rather shoot or it will come easily limitations.
The clean channel can possibly saturate lgrement in class A if there are enough microphones pchus (such as those of my gibson), otherwise it offers a nice range of sounds hot enough, which become trs chattering when the bright is engaged. Transcribed trs well the subtleties of the game, a real treat.
The channel is saturated sound ... clear ... saturation grows enough (to love) but lacks a bit of got my DEFINITIONS. I prfre in crunch. I added a Vox Bulldog in order to have sound DIFFERENT saturated and good quality but the channel of the amplifier is saturated trs exploitable even when.
My preferences is therefore clear sound of this amp vritablement surprised me (I tried gallant a store H & K 20th Anniversary trs good in short, a classic 30 I prcis are fewer and too much power at once, and I also test on my Hot Rod collgue, pretty clear sound with ValveKing can approach, but mid-able saturation).
The sound has a saturated trs got my nice crunch. But sounds more saturated ACDC or Iron Maiden style, he trs fine.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 3 weeks. I replaced the spring reverb by Accutronics Belton of my old Bandit (totally compatible, in fact, the Belton is a reproduction of the cheap Chinese amricaine). I use also the old footswitch top of my Bandit 112, a nickel market, but not led. I ordered a footswitch H & K in Thoman (half the price of peavey), it should work, otherwise I will leave a complment mind before June 2006. I donnt Entire satisfaction. I have yet to connect the HP bricoller interspersed in a red box as a given that the HP is directly connected by two rows of terminals directly reread the amp, so no output jack for the internal HP .
Trs so versatile.
Report quality unbeatable price I think. Well worth amps 650E. Then, from an amp 1200E, must see. Try any fawn if possible reliability levels we will see, I asked a rparateur for the moment no returns (compared to the classic 30 who had known her some dboires output).
With the experience: I would do without this choice problem, considering the price, was not worth the shot without it. I spar with my Vox AD60-VT (modlisation) gain in indniable DEFINITIONS and dynamic, but certainly must then buy effects.
