This is the second edition (pots on top)
all head lamps 60w 4 x 12AX7 preamp and 2 EL34 in power.
Connectivity:
Front:
- A guitar input
back:
- 3 footswitch outputs (1 for the 4-button footswitch Ashdown and the other two switches to connect two 2 buttons failing to have the four buttons).
- An effects loop in series with volume knob
- Line-out simulation with HP
- HP Output: 1 output for a fixed 16ohms 4x12 and two parallel outputs with selecteru of impedance (2x16 can connect (with selector 8ohms) 2x8ohms (selector 4) or simply 1x8omhs or 1x4ohms)

settings: 2 channels clean and lead

setting gain, treble, middle, bass and volume on each channel ansi a gain boost on lead channel which is exclusively selectionnalbe foot while a small button on the front psa will not be too ... and it is the only negative.
2 master volumes separate selectable at the foot
A general reverb (Digital)
knob apel a DSP-FX which adjusts effect (4 chorus, flange 4 and 8 delay)
the footswitch but I have had with this apara'm not always the case: 4 buttons (selection of channel 1 or 2, the gain boost on channel 2 master volume 1 or 2, enclancement the selected DSP)

9 I note as there's everything I need and not 10 because of the boost ..

UTILIZATION

Setup is simple, even if the equalization react very differently than my old amp (Hughes and Kettner Vortex), but you soon and it is not difficult to get a good sound.
The big plus of this amp is to have the 2 master volumes which is very useful.

the manual is very clear and Sufis but I remember (I have no right under the nose) it is translated into several languages ​​or exculsivement in English, but it is on it is simple if you speak English. ..

SOUNDS

I play in a punk / hardcore and a more old school hardcore.
My guitars are:
- Ibanez RG 321 MH with a Seymour Duncan SH8 in chavalet
- Epiphone G400 (sg 62 reissue) with an easel in HS6
I do not use external effects marrive but use a little delay embarked on some solo passages since I this amp.

channel 1 (clear) changes from a clear crystal-clear to a big crunch when Marshallian up the gain. it can serve both the blues has vieu rock, emo passages clear or otherwise.

[edit on 10 January 2007] I recently rediscovered this channel with a boost before the crunch is a very great distortion present in the medium is really great for what I play.

Channel 2 s'aparente to the nearest mesa boogie (corrected) with huge bass, but without the runny side and is suitable both for the large rock, punk, hardcore nu-metal or the other stuff more Bourin

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since late July (it should be about 4 months)

I love the most:
It's
-The 2 master volumes
She is pretty too

minimum:
-The fact that the boost gain is selected at the foot, if ever my footswitch sucks I have ben more boost! (It happened to me that the cable is death with a switch marshall)
is the only negative for me

before buying it I try several other models in all lamps différant price ranges with Peavey ValveKing, Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, Marshall JCM 900 ...

and it is the ashdown RAPORT with the best value for money with her to fall.

with the experience if I wanted an all-tube head in the same range I do it again this choice without problem.
