«  The case of the century! »

Developing a tube amp 20 watts of power (actually closer to 50 watts RMS).It offers an effects loop, a input 8 / 16 ohms for an extra HP, a footswitch to&nbsp;switch between channels (channel clean / saturated), a reverb, a 3-band EQ (bass, middle, treble), a master volume, a clean volume, a gain for the overdrive channel. The amp is quite heavy (nearly 60 pounds). It features a 30 Celestion GH12 10th Anniversary. It was exactly what I was looking for actually.

UTILIZATION

Simple as pie, you connect it,&nbsp;put the power during 2 / 3 minutes, then set the standby switch to on and play. You can easily find&nbsp;a satisfying sound.&nbsp;This amp very docile !

SOUNDS

It is perfect for my styles of music (more of a Pink Floyd kind).&nbsp;It accepts pedals&nbsp;very well&nbsp;(I have a rather loaded Pedal-Board). The sound has peaks Fender tones but keeps&nbsp;a sound of&nbsp;its own, however it&nbsp;does not have a UK type sound à la Marshall ... The clean channel is crisp and clear and equalization plays its role. The saturated channel&nbsp;does a good job, we get a good crunch&nbsp;halfway&nbsp;and with the gain&nbsp;maxed out,&nbsp;a nice distortion. For my part,&nbsp;I keep it clean most of the time and quite often&nbsp;add my distortion effects&nbsp;(PB).

OVERALL OPINION

I&nbsp;got it last week, I bought it&nbsp;at Thomann's after seeing the tiny price for the&nbsp;specs of the amp. Result: really not disappointed and&nbsp;even really happy, it's a real bargain, I recommend it!
