Best value: Excellent

made in china, I spend the rest you know why

UTILIZATION

simple configuration:
2 channels independent:
1 clean channel 3-band EQ + + volume boost switch
A 3-band EQ Overdrive channel volume + 2 + gain (vintage and modern) switchable by switch
1 master volume
A master reverb

no manual

is obtained by adjusting well quite easily a good sound

SOUNDS

it suits my style (hard rock / heavy / thrash metal)

Clean channel = warm and round
clean channel + boost = crunch warm and round
Overdrive channel gain saturation 1 = moderate round warm
overdirve gain channel 2 = hot fat and high saturation

I play it with a PRS SE custom and Dean Mustaine Signature

+ Heat
+ Gain

- Too round
- Too mushy
- Too low

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 years

I tried some other models but all the lamps was still expensive at the time it was the most abordale.

+ Simple Configuration
+ 2 jack inputs (high gain and low gain)
+ Good power and volume

- No headphone
- Heavyweight: over 20kg
- The EL34
- Hp too dark for my taste

good price / quality ratio at the time I had acquired for € 599 instead of 750 € in stores thanks to Forum guitariste.com

with the experience I will turn instead to a Peavey 6505 combo equipped with 6L6 I personnaly prefer largely to EL34.
