All-tube amp: handcrafted in Italy in Bologna if you want to know ... It has a retro look very well done: class, retro and simple. It weighs 35 kg on the scale, it's true good, must wear it, it's not anything ... But in fact it is because the transformers are hefty, it is not stolen on quality. There are two HP celestion vintage 30. The puisance: 50 watts (two HP, it sends almost more than the Fender Pro-Sonic combo that makes 60) or 25 watts of choice (there is a switch on the back). Front:
Clear Channel: acute and mid bass, more volume adjustment
Distortion channel: volume, gain, bass mid and sharp. More reverb. More switch for channel and various diodes.
Rear panel: on / off and standby, the switch selection Half power, effects loop with a switch to switch the loop in series or in parallel, a control action at high frequencies and the serious, and the selector impedance for the release of HP, hp output and connecting the footswitch, which allows channel switching and reverb.
No output to connect directly to the table but hey saw the sound coming out of HP, other than by transplanting a microphone would be really stupid ...
UTILIZATION
Branch and it was direct not one but two sounds fabulous ... (See below)
The pots are acting very quickly on the sound. It's the old amp with monstrous sound quality. We can play the Rory Gallagher by modulating the distortion of the knob scratch: no loss or fever, or severe as in my previous amp (yet good). The manual is clear, anyway, a guitarist on something like that needs no manual, it is at once the setting between volume and gain on the saturated channel sounding.
SOUNDS
There is really a vamp. I plug it with a Start time machine 60 'or a Telecaster Thinline 69 tape and it really:
Clear channel, let's be clear Well here are my previous amps: 65 Deluxe Reverb (reissue), rivera chubster 40, Fender pro reverb, fender super-sonic, and although it's pro reverb in its fullest, as round and over sustain. the bass is well marked, well-rounded and the highs are precise, beautiful and well balanced with the serious arpport. The setting and presence of the low back of the amp are effective and magnify the sound. The accuracy of the above marks is striking that with a pick (style little wind) in arpeggio or rhythm is giant. We really clear sounds beautiful. The crunch channel high enough, but again can be adjusted. If you want to do before cruncher, switch to half power (I said keeping the same sound, not nearly the same sound, the same sound) and before cruncher ... The crunch on this amp is stunning, beautiful, precise and long. In general, the notes last a long time on this amp. The sound that comes closest to this amp is the reverb pro (from my ex amps). And not for the better ...
The boosted channel: while there is great art. A kind of Marshall / Mesa Boogie grain specific heat, sustain (I just invented the word!). It can range from a creamy crunch to a big warm saturation. I do not know too much trash, but I do not think it is enough to our friends trasheux ... Anyway, to try, it's still heavy at the end. Personally, I can play it from the bluesy rhythms light up the smoke on the water, or voodoo chile slight return stride: it holds up. for solos, is the lead sound is dazzling; long, detailed and warm grain, that's happiness!

Now I play with a Les Paul Studio Gem (with 2 P90) and it frankly just amazing!
OVERALL OPINION
I recently but for what I play, that is, from the style or summertime blues blue jeans, to the much heavier, I want a versatile amp but powerful in all registers and up Now they all sinned in one of two aspects (light or full). Also I had another requirement that this amp allows me but not the others have the same sound when playing in a bar in a gym or outdoors. Here, with the half power / harmonics (which can play on the pentode or triode mode of connection of power tubes), I am no longer the nightmare of Sound: and all with the same sound ... I have since tried two years or possessed: Rivera, Soldano, Fender, Marshall, Orange, Vox, Laney, Engl, Georges Denis, and none really helped me to have everything this one can. After, of course it's a matter of ear and style. Someone who plays the heavy as will not have the same requirement that I, who needs her to BB King at times, to the page or the other ... gallagher But if tomorrow it is stolen, I bought one. We listen more than talk about writing, but be careful, after one listen you are stuck ... For info, I tried it with half a body style ES335 'good quality) and the Elysian avit dimension, or ... The Incredible Jazz Alvin Lee donf ...
Value for money: 10 2200 despite nine. But I got it secondhand ...
