This amp has a really great look but finish is a bit limited in detail so I do not put 10.

UTILIZATION

Simple as pie, we get easily a good sound. As for the manual in English, is a simple description of the amp.

SOUNDS

Then I'll try, given the number of people waiting for an opinion on this amp to be as clear and specific as possible.
I received this amp 3 days ago, after having heated 5 minutes left I turn, I scratched a hit and there I thought "wha it is not too bad, it sounds really vintage" And indeed, I played with for 3 days and we can say it sounds very rock n'roll. Both say any more: this amp will struggle to get out of his vintage yet very successful. For the lover of rock 50's, 60's and 70's hardrock this amp is perfect. It is rather in the style of "Vox" and the sounds of the British invasion. The sound is warm and really rock the old grain in the sound. Personally, it was what I wanted and I am totally satisfied. The clear sound is hard enough to maintain even a medium volume: ca crunch quickly. For the saturated again Nothing to say the sound is aggressive and sharp. The power seems sufficient for group play but hey we should try.
The sponge is great power I was afraid that it plays the sound but almost no one keeps a very good sound at low volume: very good point!
Having said this amp has a few kinks
Mediums are a little too present, undoubtedly has the HP
Limits are low, there's nothing too much, a little more when AC was even better now
The reverb is good but without more, could have been better as

In the end I put 8 because the sound for which it was made is quite successful but its lack of flexibility prevents me from 10 to

OVERALL OPINION

The value for money is simply more than acceptable sound was a lamp for a little over € 300. Provided it makes sense to upgrade this amp I would most certainly change the lamps notte preamp I suspect pretty average and change the hp to an even more rock, can be a Celestion G12H. I think these two changes will correct the few problems that I blame her.

Some say Why this has to purchase an amp if it is to re-spend money to upgrade all the better buy? Well no I do not agree because the advantage of this method is to spread the cost of the amp in the time you want and above all it allows to customize to our style. Also I find that in its current state it for me already so there is no hurry.

This amp is advised for small budgets like mine and those who love Vintage
€ 320 bought on Woodbrass

in the end:
The +: a successful vintage totalmente
quality / price qu'interressant
look of the amp, lightweight portable

Le-: Receiver not open to other styles
Too many mediums
Finishes a bit limited in detail
