Lamps, 15 watts (watts lamps hyper muscular version) - Power, Standby - A single entry, Master Gain, Reverb, Bass, Treble, Tremolo Speed, Tremolo Intensity - jack footswitch (reverb, tremolo) - HP Output extra.
Inside, a bowl of Vox 12 "which completely fills his office.

The only inconveniences? Everybody knows it's the WEIGHT!
But it is also the consideration required for this prehistoric monster sound and volume to none.

UTILIZATION

Hyper Single
Not read the manual (why?)

SOUNDS

I play mainly electric blues-Starring: Strato, Telecaster, G & L Asat Classic (Tele), Gibson es330, SG61 Reissue Gibson, Cort Yorktown.
In clear or very clear, we finally got the sounds of 60's super crystalline (Shadows, Otis Redding ...) including the famous "quack!" Hyper metal mark the measurement in the old ballads deRythm & Blues (not the "Arreunbii "true" Rizeum Blouz en). The interaction of Bass and Treble controls are strong and can with this simple duo, used sparingly, combinations house not encountered on other amps, other than using a multiband equalizer steep. The sound is crunchy to perfection means the glass lamps, and severe saturated, we obtain a compression very original, a little dirty, with very nice natural sustain.
Beware, it is damn noise! The neighbors do not necessarily enjoy.
The tremolo is excellent. The poor mechanical reverb, but easy to tweak or replace it with something more convincing.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been a week with him, but I was expecting (unknowingly) a long time. I also use a small vox transistors 15W (relevant for transport and repetitions, and its tones) and a Studiotone Koch, who is excellent and very versatile, but that does not reproduce the sound of that damn Vox AC15 .

Some argue that the old AC15 original was better. Chepe, I have not had a chance to try it. And at a price where opportunities are available, it is not tomorrow the day before. In all cases, less good or not, it is a great amp, very typical, that respects incredibly sound guitars. Try it, especially if you have a very good guitar.
