Any lamp, a clean channel with boost and ultra input second but not used at the same time (no AB box)
6 watts max, use triodes or pentodes and Pultec equalizer way (depth, tone and 3 position selector).
Line out without simulation of hp, effects loop, and footswich (included).
Handwired in china ... plates are easily changed
HP 12 '

UTILIZATION

The config seems very simple but in reality it is much less. the functions of each knob depends on the position of the other.
Have a good sound for Blues Junior sounds so yes ... for a little less of grindcore ...
No reverb, then pedal or mod ... or not ..
and group play as possible, with a drummer who hits hard, it goes well if you like warm sounds not clean at max unless you touch the guitar, this volume caps are widely useful.
The 6 dB boost is what is bcp ... is not going from strong to strong, from clean to crunch to be a warm one in OD.
Possibility of saturated played at home at night with a sleeping baby graca channel ultra which in any case it serves me well. (1 watt, ultra gain to 0.5 and 2 hours

SOUNDS

I love to see her clean boosted overdrive channel sound but the ultra or distortion is too bee swarm and lack of definition, a bit fuzzy ... it's lamps original ... but what's in that clean we will attack the Led Zep pixies or perfect for the big funk rock or even punk ..
In low power mode the sound is muffled, seeing jazzy ...
I use it with a jazzmaster and a telecaster, the big muff out very well and the rest too ..
Overall, it's pretty blackface ..

OVERALL OPINION

incredible value for money, I would do again but this choice for the studio or concert, not the house.
I have over the past year, I did some concerts and many REPEAT, and it's satisfying, quite heavy ..
It turns out when it comes out of the lens.
