Amp head full of lamps.
Prampli 3x 12AX7 / 4x EL34 amp.
Marshall Plexi 1959 clone (Schma General Electric Push Pull).
Give manufacturer 150w / 4 ohms, so approx 100w / 8 ohms.
2 HP follow parallel with 4-8-16 ohm choice.
An effects loop bypass.
2 Channels (and not used in conjuction foot switchable). Principle 4 inputs (High / Low 1 and 2) as the old Marshall, Hiwatt, SoundCity, Vox, etc, etc. ..
NO master volume. It is played back if you want a big overdrive.
Rglage. Presence, Treble, Middle, Bass, Gain 1 "crystalline," Gain 2 ("fat").
Effect "BIG SOUND" that hurts because it's too powerful. (But there's tricks).

UTILIZATION

We can no longer simple, except possibly the very small tip of the mini-jack and between LOW1 High2 to use the 2 channels at the same time (remember, non-switchable channels unless you purchase a Box AB).
Manuel virtually useless except that explains the manipulation of the mini-jack and also how rgler the bias of the amplifier.
Very easy to use "basically" the amp. It sounds terrible but it is much too powerful and therefore unnecessary for me tel_quel. I like the sound is 7 on the Gain 1 and Gain 2 10 off.
If your maniac like me, you faudrat spend a little time to get sound you need an acceptable volume.

SOUNDS

It suits me perfectly. (Rock'n Roll and Pop-Punk-Rock).
This is not an amp for me but I Whereas versatile versatility as a default.
The sound is a Marshall 1959 Plexi head. The BLEND of 2 Earnings for the determination of cot "Slamming" and cluck "Bold" on your sound.
I currently use a baffle 2x12 "V30 in a tlcaster 52 (rdition) and Italia Mondial woodtop team of 2 mini-humbucker Gibson.
Specific on it, sourriant and dynamic. Harmonic singing. It's good!
Like any amp dpourvu master volume, you faudrat make some changes if it is sold 100W because the sound is much too strong, so it ingrable.
I started by removing 2 power tubes to pass 50w. ATTENTION, each amp is different. For it must be removed 1 and 4 or 2 and 3. In addition, the impdence output is changing. It is found multiply by 2. So if your on the switch into 4 ohms, in reality you have 8 ohms. In order to silence all specialist in the "it seems" and "I have a friend," I just measured the output impdence as indicated here. https://fr.audiofanzine.com/les-mains-dans-le-cambouis/forums/t.91560, p.2, p.html
In short, 50w is better, but it is still too powerful, the first row of spectator morfle ... and to baffle projection towards the back of the stage I am not a fan ...
So until I finish my attnuateur of Tube-Town, temporary trick (which works very well though) is to put a potentiomtre in the effects loop for metering signal pr Tage amplification attacking power. It eats a little shine, but I corrected Eq and presence.
I would add a post once attnuateur finished. (The PoS 50 of tube town)

OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it? Approximately 2 months with a lot of time in the local test stuff and dj 7 concerts.
What is the specific feature you like best, the least? I like the sound of this amp as I like the sound of the plexi my friend Mick.
Have you tried many other models before acqurir? Pffff .. piles. Whether those of musician friends, with of the representatives, in shops and studios. It is counted in tens.
How do you report qualitprix? Poor little Chinese ...
With exprience, you do again this election? In your opinion?

This is my own opinion, which is the portion shared by my fellow group and the sound guys. By the way, he put it "he beams this amp!"
Supplmentaire small precision, we must make a diffrence between reality and sound marketing. Try and make your own opinion. I always laugh when reading posts on a particular brand that is better and blah blah and then the guys have not even tried. If this is the kind of guy I meet sometimes on concerts and play 2 on Triple Rectifier in "Modern" (without the grinder) ... I chuckle.
Ok bugera is a subsidiary of Behringer. And then? Marshall also made the "crap" not? Fender also its average cota of stuff? And Vox? In short, you think they are all the "good" stuff? And that is manufactured or?
End.
