30W All Tube amp with 2 channels (including 2 types of channel preamp saturated to + or - gain), bass, middle, treble (pull bright) FOR EACH CHANNEL, reverb, 2 outputs 8 Ohms, 16 Ohms 1 output, effects loop switch with serial / parallel range knobs + 2 level input / output.
The set exudes quality workmanship.

UTILIZATION

The EQ is active (ie if its not for all is zero), when there is sound ... ouch!
Indeed, there is a Marshall-y sound (see Gildesuez opinion), especially on the bass side, that I find really&nbsp; Marshall vintage typed : the famous boom, boom on the edge of the explosion of HP you love or hate!
I would say that although low saturated soiled, are relatively "clear" but very present, the medium brings the rage of saturation when the treble end and dosage sculpt the sound (a little way control "presence") .
Where I am amazed is that I found reminiscent of the Hendrix sound.
This amp is really surprising and certainly deserved more attention to its release it has never had.
Collector?

SOUNDS

As described above, this amp, bristling with valves, delivers vintage sounds to perfection, but with a level of gain available, however impressive, making it probably a bit more modern in spirit.
A good surprise.

OVERALL OPINION

Purchased under a "stocking" store, this amp that I didn't see in the first place, however, aroused my curiosity.
After a pretty conclusive test, I bought it and I continued to explore it at home (maybe even more surprises to come ...).
FYI, the same store was also stocking a Mesa Boogie 5-25 (Celestion 12 ") that I had seen in the first place and have not bought after testing ...
Last info for who cares, I have a total of 6 all tubes amps.
