Published on 06/11/14 at 15:11It is an all-tube amp (three 12AX7 and two EL34) of 45Watt we can pass 30watts (triode mode, with more overtones in this case).
- 2 channels each with its own EQ (very effective).
- Reverb
- Effects loop (serial or parallel)
- Socket for footswitch
- Impedance selector (8/16 ohm on mine)
- Presence control and bass boost back
- 2 Celestion V30
UTILIZATION
It is quite simple to find the sound you desire, and you can also change things much fiddling knobs presence and depht on the rear panel.
Selector "half power" is great for smaller rooms.
SOUNDS
I play hard rock verging on metal "nice", and this amp is perfect for this style, but it is extremely versatile (check out the official videos on Youtube if you are unsure).
As I need three channels, I boost the lead channel with my Nova System in the loop for solos; I sometimes put a pedal upstream N Audio Firesound V3, and it works perfectly.
Clear-typed his Fender-is very clear, I do not cruncher in "full power" mode, I become dull I do not even know if it's possible-!
The lead channel can provide a great crunch, and go to more hard sounds (it is very typical Marshall supercharged). I do not play thrash or death, but I think that to achieve this type of sound, it would add something (that said, this amp accepts pedals very well).
Reverb is my sense whatsoever, and I do not use it (anyway, I'm not a fan of reverb); I prefer to use sparingly, that the Nova system.
My guitars are Jackson Soloist or DK2.
OVERALL OPINION
For over a year that I use, and I only have 2 complaints to him:
- Weight (suddenly, I turned this combo in mind, I connect with an Electro Voice Thiele, and everything rolls)
- It only has two channels; with three channels, it would be perfect (but probably more expensive ...)
I used it in clubs, on the biggest stages, and even outdoors, no problem; I also have a head NOS CA100 and Steve Morse head, and this little 2/50 did not blush in front of them: these three amps are my favorites, and I've tried and owned a good package.
I do not regret that choice, and if I would do it again (for the record: I had gone to pay me a Mesa Mark V, but by the way, I tested a 2/50, and although I did not buy the Mark V which is of course a great amp, but the price and far too higher than the 2/50 for the utility I)
On occasion, it is found at very, very reasonable prices, so do not deprive
