«  Caution! »

Value For Money : Excellent

Points that I find practical in terms of characteristic:
2 equalisations (clean / OD)
Vintage 30 speaker!
A boost
An effects loop
a master

UTILIZATION

We get a good sound quickly it's very simple to use. The manual is just to show 2 or 3 small trimmings for a particular sound. The footswitch is convenient but it would have been nice to activating and deactivating the reverb foot.

SOUNDS

I could not do a very sharp criticism of this product because it happened to me an unfortunate history with this amp. I had time to try it for a day and the next day: CLACK!

I try with my gibson les paul studio WCH is clean and nice round hot with a good dynamic range (no more than normal with the lamp damn well).

Level of saturation can be obtained very slight saturation a little crunch through an Overdrive quite powerful and thanks to Boost (which acts as an overdrive aditional) increases saturation and allows you to play something really heavy.

This amp is still not a high gain saturation therefore has its limitations but it is very versatile amp.

The small point is that there are two practical equalisations so we can set the clean regardless of the OD.

OVERALL OPINION

This amp is certainly very well but I think it has a defect in lamps. It's very fragile! Are what may be a delivery of my lamps have been damaged but I had the opportunity to read a comment from someone who also experience this problem. Chance?

But a good AC lamp is changed.
The small problem that can be met with this amp is that it is very very few marketed in Europe. This involves delivery, risk of damage, and a guarantee from a merchant I do not know how many hundreds of kilometers! (That's what I did lowers its rating: it caused me a lot of trouble! )

Besides these details, from what I've tried this amp (I have more I have not recommended after the references at the seller) it sounds very good!
For the price this is excelent that's just what I needed: 50w usable in either a master thanks and well built and nikel to repeat concert.
I did not test the effects pedals on it that's a shame.
See Traynor can we expect one day in our small shops?
