Just a word to emphasize the principle of "one type of amplifier per channel" (Marshall and Fender), with the filters that come with ... innovative and very wise.
Similarly, filters and boosts ... nice
CRRR ... CRRR ... yyyy is still something that is a little ... but hey it's the only fault of the amp for me: for additional HP output! but anyway one can disconnect the HP connected by jack and connect to a firm (1, 2, 4x12 for example). we forget the self-diffusion of 2 hp ... GO ... 9 anyway for everything else.
Oh yeah a big + for the look a little electro acoustic amp mind: What class!

UTILIZATION

Super simple setup and running in the first place. Fun on the first sounds to be found and say that the quality is enormous. And after a while it is more in-depth patient to sculpt the sound ... the knobs are hyper sensitive and it is a treat.
The right sound, we find it right away but all the sounds are great so it's more fun as research.

SOUNDS

I use the amp with a PRS Custom 24 US, a Fender Aerodyne tele telecaster and a copy of which I do not understand how it might sound as well (or better than other tv us !!!).

Rather marshall blue rock on one side fender and fender of the other.
But the amp has its own identity so far and that's the best!
Cruncher and can saturate the two channels (a little thin on the saturated channel fender but hey it's not intended to be the hairy kind).
Basically then, the dominant style is the blues, rock, and all the lamps are better around these styles.
The metal can anyway stay with us because for me, with a well-refined setting on channel marshall, the PRS on the double acute and 21 saturation Tech which I use as a boost more than saturated, and guess what bin ? it's tough to very nü metal! The PRS has much to do in this case but it shows that complies with the guitar amp it is connected.
Previously I had a Mesa F30 more modern sounds (more funk and metal) and I thought all the guitars sounded connected always a little too "mesa" and ultimately did not give their own signature at best.
Here, the Chubster has its own identity but it is combined with the identity of the skyscraper and the expressiveness of our fingers.
My favorite sounds are anyway clear limits crunchy sounds (bright always engaged) on channel fender and saturation to Guns N'Roses canal Marshall.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 4 or 5 months and I still have fun even now develop their potential.
What I like most about this amp is its versatility (the more furious than roots) while retaining a signature "Rivera".
Some say it's the type of amp just connect directly to the guitar but for me, I use it with half a dozen effects to specific passages or at least limited use (wah, saturation, Zvex fuzz, delay, chorus, sampler) and each time he would come out very well.
No regrets except that having bought used 'someone had to put a reverb fun Meru jef @% $ *! in place of the original.
The only thing that would grieve and I come back early is that there is no way out but extra HP is the only thing! Especially as for value for money are no better.
SO 10/10
