«  Frankly it! »

Published on 04/11/13 at 16:09
Tube amp, 2 channels, 1 boost on each channel, one reverb.
A footswitch to change channels and activate each boost each channel
2 inputs high gain and low gain
One loop effect

UTILIZATION

The setup is quite simple. I quickly found a good clean sound. The clean boost allows a snapping sound.
Channel 1 is in fact saturated channel + boost. With a strat it crunch with double windings it saturates.

SOUNDS

I love clean! Jazz funk it really does! The power amp can be fun. 30 watts is perfect. The reverb is very good, I find it more effective than some Fender, Fender is often all or nothing at reverb! A 2 has no effect and 3 or 4 there is too ...
In clean can be compared to a deluxe reverb. In fact it reminds me strongly deluxe reverb II that Rivera made for Fender in the early 80s.
Channel is saturated to me more difficult to resolve. You can get a nice crunch with a strat and a rock sound with 2 double coils.
I personally think there are pedals for a good distortion pedal but not for a nice clean! This sums up the amp.

OVERALL OPINION

I had a lot of amps so I can compare. I think 30 watts tube is perfect, the amp is light and the clean sound is superb!
I've had one day yet what I find out ...
If you like good clean sound, you do not want to break your back, you want to get a good reverb and you have a budget of € 650 so do not hesitate.
The receiver according to my research is also very reliable.
It is difficult to find OCCAZ proving that the owners held there.
After all is a matter of taste and happily! because we would all have the same amp and the same guitar. Zik good at all
