Best value: Poor
Amp lamps 100 w. two speaker outputs. Clean channel with bright, saturated with a lead channel (well it seems because I have never seen the diffrence). I had the footswitch, which of course is not sold with the amp. There is a button to change channels and Inrush the lead but the alter. So it seems that one must have enough volume for the lead lev plays its role of boost. I could never vrifier this info as a 100W lamps, 2 trs dj is strong! Moreover in rpt, I played that one and a half or two. Once in the collection's outdoor concert I 4 jou!
I put seven for the price, power and opportunities, it is top. Just the problem of lead which is a shame. Then saw his weight would have had to put two grips on cots to carry two or even install smoothly.

UTILIZATION

The config is very simple, just that I find the sound palette when turning the button is not extraordinary, especially for bass.
In short, what is embtant most is its weight. 31kg! it's super heavy, especially when there is only one fist. The devil and the muscle are essential. 100W and in fact it is standard for an amp lamps. It has nothing do with a transistor amp, it must be said to double or even three! Rflchissez So before you buy (I have sold because of), Has it need so much power! for if it is to play especially on a 2 amp lamps o normally it is recommended to play two-thirds. In the more he must carry around 30kg more than a hand whenever it carries! well good luck.

SOUNDS

Super clean sound, is the bright INTERESTED trs. The channel is saturated hot little we let the heat lamp. I find that when you push the gain saturation drooling a little right and same lack of precision. But hey ca is a great amp for the price lamps and an alternative to INTERESTED Mesa amps way too expensive!

OVERALL OPINION

I kept a year, I like the sound, its grain. However it is far too powerful and too heavy forcment. The lead does not work when playing normally, ie 2.
C'tait my first amp lamps, I will not regret it, but I opt for a Submitted 30W lamps with one HP. So I lift 10Kg less, and I can get a little Submitted volume to heat lamps. And I still room!
This is an amp, I think, who plays the destiny collection outdoor (and even when you have a sound system and it is transplanted, I ask myself) or those who mtal the trs and should play hard! So what n'tait not an amp for me.
Otherwise there is the 50W which is less than 100 and less than 10 kg and is a good solution evokes all the problem above, or the classic 30 for those who are connected more blues rock / or hard rock. Me, I opt for the Laney VC 30.
