CHARACTERISTICS have the dj t Describes, cequ'il remember:

Property:
- 2 channels with footswith provided;
- An effects loop with selectable level (pedals or rack effects);
- Rglage ISF

Less (but good considering the price ...)
- Legalization and rglage ISF common to two channels

UTILIZATION

The manual is clear trs, including the possibility of connecting the speakers, it's my Premire "head" and it's really easy to use trs.
One can also immediately find a good sound ... But then it refines and we spend more time juggling three bands and the legalization ISF ...
I use it on a cabinet Blackheart 112 (12-inch Eminence speaker) with a Peavey Wolfgang.
I play only at home, so I changed my Peavey ValveKing 112 too powerful against this stuff and in this context it sounds much better ...
The effects loop works well with my trs pedals (boss boss chorus and delay), unlike what I read on the forums, as long as it lasts ...

SOUNDS

I play mostly hard of the 80 and 90, and although it is saturated in the foot! I finally found a sound warm, powerful and not at all messy and yet I put the gain back!
In short, the IDE that I was a good sound lights ... Reduces volume.
The amp is perfect with the baffle Blackheart. I do not know if having a closed cabinet, but the bass is really good Submitted, besides, I do not force the legalization of the bass but the mids.
First the rhythm.
I'll just take an example to compare with my old configuration (ValveKing 112 and vox satchurator): the riff of Van Halen Unchained (random example ...) in dropped-D: on my old config it sounded flat , toothless and too low n'taient Submitted .. With HT5 Blackheart and it makes great! Finally I hear the rhythmic prcise with powerful bass!
Then for solos.
Well I have t surprised by the enjoyable sustain! I thought I should add a boost or an overdrive (I'm not saying I will not do one of these days ...) and although this is not ncessaire. I tried a dist-HT pedals on a amplifender, blah, not enough gain and tuft ... Here see anything. Compared my old config it sounds more balanced and more particularly "raw". Legato, tapping, harmonics any jurisdiction trs well.

For its clear, I would say it is as neutral as the ValveKing while having the typical round lamps. Only BMOL with my humbuckers it trs crunch quickly, so I have to lower the volume of my guitar for crystal clear sound ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have this amp for only a few days but I am delighted!
It should be back on my apprciate my use: use "home", especially saturated channel to play hard type of Van Halen, Ratt, Dokken ...
That said POLICE on the clean channel trs going well also, so it's not a channel anecdotal.
I really feel like a stack in miniature, with a good powerful sound over the entire curve legalization, gain and sustain.
The rhythmic play legato sound. Nothing do with distos "saturax" that give her a rough draft of one or the other, or two!
In short this amp is addictive!
So when we look at the price ... but why is it not more tt out this amp!

My only regret is the legalization (and ISF) common to the two channels ...

Guitar Xpert Lille gave me a great offer for the resumption of my peavey and buying the new stuff, thank you again them!
