«  Very good according to what you want to do! »

All lamp 60W 2-channel, boost, volume control independent
Bass, middle, treble, mid, gain, volume
No effect

UTILIZATION

Just the rear panel is not necessarily obvious but no less or more than other makes.
The manual I have not read it ... It is anyway not very complicated

I quickly got a good sound on channel 2

SOUNDS

I rock "burps", the black keys, through the eighties but hardcore
Channel 1 is not terrible in its clear, much less in any case than the hybrid DSP I owned a time. In addition to non-saturated BTW, I hardly find it growing. It flies in the granular creed
Channel 2 is very good against, we have a good beam in saturation. on the other hand, if not block any medium right, it is like losing outright decibels. The other buttons are not very versatile.
I play with a Fender tinkered with a humbucker, and a Gibson SG Faded. With Faded, it sends just enough to gain the agreement sent through the handle well smack and is dynamic.
I tested it on a Blackheart 4x12 4 Eminences.
This is a very good amp authentic, but I have no clear sound because of the inoperative channel 1 for me

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 4 months. I owned the 100W hybrid DSP version before that was not so bad, but I wanted all lamp. I am not disappointed with the change except for channel 1. Next if I have a Blackheart BH15H, which sends a lot too. I lent a few years ago a Vox AC30, the Ashdown is what the closest so far, except that it is less clear.
It works well for me in training such power trio, with his very dirty, which is a low wall. Must not hope to penetrate effectively mix with two guitars in a band that plays loud on the other hand.
Conclusion: This is a great alternative to play loud and spit well until roots have 3-4 times the budget to buy better!
