- All Tube Amp, 2xEL34 5x12AX7 in power and preamp.
- The power output is 55 watts through a Celestion G12T-75 HP.
- Hi and low gain inputs on the front, effects loop, footswitch, extra HP ...
- The settings you want in here ... 2 channels, Channel 1 is dedicated to the saturation. There are volume, bass, midle, treble, master. Channel 2, same as channel 1 but can activate a "bright" by pulling the treble knob and change the response of the medium, drawing on the button midlle.

There are also settings for starting levels and effects return. Among other strengths, we can see a boost on each channel assignable, an exceptional quality reverb springs 6 "Hammond Long Pan", specific settings for Focus and Presence control of dynamics and high frequency of HP (a kind of boost "heat"), a switch Vintage / Modern on the back (reduces power output by 50%), an effects loop in series with control level ...

UTILIZATION

A tip for first use, put all of 5! It's simple, efficient and beautiful, it sounds right away whether a bright or saturated.
From there, you play with the buttons whose accuracy is surgery to sculpt your sound:
the numbers on the buttons are not there to make up the numbers, when from 4 to 5 on any button is defined as a difference ... it changes my JCM 2000 ...
The manual? What manual? Well you have to go look for it on the website ... in English but not hard to decipher.
Gone, I put a new one because of the manual.

SOUNDS

Sound level, while there, brace yourself, there's something for everyone and knows almost everything!

To sum up, this beast makes clear, typed crunch Fender, Vox and Mesa, to the more distal Marshall (70-80 years) without failure drooling but with a crunch distortion KT66 lamp type and finally with a disto very powerful rock and metal also typed Mesa and Soldano.

In short, a delight to all floors, a range of sounds I had never seen before.

I play it with a United States Split Stratocaster Eric Clapton, an ESP LTD M-1000 and an electro-acoustic Cort 740-FXNA. 3 The guitar sounds great on this amp and even EMG 81/89 active are not come to the end!

OVERALL OPINION

In the end, I've had four months and you'll understand it's a great amp that is unique to touch everything efficiently while having his character!

Compared to Rothelle is an amp that will delight fans of big dug saturations, raucous and modern, for the rest it is very similar but complementary to both.
The lover of vintage sounds and sounds more clear to fall will be delighted too.

Add to this package a great finish, because it should also be noted that manufacturing is entirely handmade. Everything is very well built!
For my part, I chose black which goes well with a grid woven with gold edging, which had its effect. It is class, nice ...

Although he appears to holy Nitouche lies a true racing machine where the attention to detail was sought.
If I had to choose again, I repeat one, obviously.

This is my fourth amp, I also tried a lot but I found the ultimate tool certe cheap but not stolen either.

By the way, thank you to Musytrock at Bonneval in the 28, the seller and owner Titi, from whom I tried half a day, him on drums! Super!
