What kind of amplification (lamp, transistor ,...)?

All-tube combo: three 12AX7 and one 12AT7 for Tage prampli and two EL34 power for the Tagus.

What is the power dlivre?

50 watts RMS Class AB

What connection?

Two inputs in faade (one low and one high impdance), an effects loop with level SETTING THE two speaker ouput jack guitar format (a 4 ohms and 8 ohms) and a footswitch jack format din.

What rglages the effects? ...

A master volume and master reverb.
Clean channel with an active three-band equalizer own (bass, middle, treble) and a switchable boost.
Overdrive channel with a knob for level common to both SETTING THE switchable gain and an active three-band equalizer own (bass, middle, treble).



UTILIZATION

The configuration is it simple?

The knobs have a drle of sensitivity. We do not understand why the level of clean is so low compared to the boost and overdrive channel. When the level knob overdrive channel, I still do not understand his rle as that given for the same volume as the clean channel, you must put a quarter, giving a sound unusable.

Do you get a good sound easy?

It&#39;s easy to find a nice and rich distortion but the cleans are cold and hard to use trs. The reverb has never worked.

The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

I have no manual reu which would aid in phase grip.



SOUNDS

Is it your style of music?

The clean channel is too poor to be usable. The overdrive channel offers an input gain enough gaming pronounced color trs warm and rich. This is an amp made for large doses of muscle gains and use that does not suit me really time lead guitarist with prog rock band, alternative or conventional. I would say we feel that it is fully expressed with the view of the heavy metal metal hardcore.

With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play?

I play an Ibanez RG 2570 Z Whereas I like a guitar trs good quality and more versatile than it seems. I did use a multi-disciplinary and do not like Whereas a machine to gain forge metal. Even if it is true that the output level of DiMarzio is awesome, she knows how to rev subtle and groovy when I asked. We feel the cot while the guitar except for the ease with which it changes and you register as a stratum below would.

The combo is equipped with a Celestion Seventy80 of 50 watts (8 ohms).

Cot effect I use:
A BOSS TU-2 (Chromatic Tuner), Bad Horsie Morley VAI a 1 (Wah), a Digitech Whammy WH-4, a Boss PH-2 (Phaser), a Boss DD-3 (Digital Delay) and a Boss GE- 7 (7 Band Graphic Equalizer).

What kind of sound you get and with what rglages ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?

I would say that it is difficult regardless of the SETTING THE dcoller sound is heavy and rich with a grain hsitant between California and England. We stay in a log-gain typ hi trs heavy metal. The clean sound dsesprment cold and me, whatever the rglages.

What are the sounds you prfrez, you dtest?

The distortion is when even friendly when you need to gain and heat. The clean is clearly the black point of this combo.



OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?

Two years ago that I am the owner and I can not count the number of BPS or concerts performed its cots.

What is the particular feature you like best and least?

What I like is its distortion and its rich reserve of power that can use live comfortable without miking.
I dtest with this amp is its lack of reliability and clean channel. I had to do rpar foirage because of the power supply twice a year, and replace the lamps APRS one year of use. As for the clean I never use it. Also, the reverb has never worked.

Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

I tried expensive Rivera, a Mesa Boogie expensive and also a Fender Twin Reverb. The Randall seemed a class below, but a good price.

How do you report qualitprix?

I bought 550 and although this is not a huge sum and it is worth its weight in gold, its reliability and its canal are real clean spots on its reputable. In addition it should really my style of music.

Exprience with, you will do again this choice? ...

I do not believe, this amplifier n&#39;tait not really what I wanted and blackheads are another reason to try it long before purchase.
