15 watt lamps (PP EL84 if I do not crash), two 12AX7 preamp in
HP installed base seems to have a fairly high yield (more than 100dB I think), so it will not worry too much in a group.

Minimum connections: two outputs HPs.
settings:
Equa-two bands damn well (I suspect to be active, but I'm too lazy to check by removing the amp), it allows many more potential for 3-band passive in many amps.
-Nice tremolo (depth and speed level settings)
-Reverb (absolutely sucks, but can be a change of line spring (30/40 €) could correct this (I would do the test soon)
A cut-Master Volume
-A footswitch to control the reverb and tremolo.

missing a second channel and an effects loop

vintage design, it's funny two minutes, but it's not practical.

UTILIZATION

I have not seen the shadow of a manual, also in part to recall the constraints of the lamps, it is not used much here.

and more complete about it, I recommend this excellent site:

for simplicity, see above ...
its level, that sounds about right, whatever the settings (the amp is adjusted according to the song is played, not to find a good sound).

SOUNDS

I have not really defined style (that's also why I have several amps ...), but when I look for her a little pop to radiohead, it fits perfectly.
I play telecaster with Japanese and it makes my time very well.
what I particularly like about this amp, it's clear round very dynamic, as opposed to fender, but very good too.
I also like when he starts to twist (although frank attacks causing distortion), the slight crunch is nice enough, but when pushed a little too much it becomes very aggressive, I personally am not a fan (note, alnico version that side loses a little aggressive and dry).

OVERALL OPINION

I own this amp for 6 months before I had a Blues Jr, so nice and I tried many of the small tubeys 15 Watts less than € 1000 (BJ, VC15, Tiny Terror, H & K edition tube, H & K statemen dual ...), that's played between the Blues Jr. and the AC15.
I love the bright vibrant, like her less when it is in the tab (too aggressive and inaccurate sec) and its inability to properly absorb the effects (especially the fuzz), I like not too much weight (but on the other hand it is because the wood is really not bad for an amp of this price).
