SOUNDS

The tone of this guitar is very British sounding tone. It rivals the sounds of Marshall or orange amplifiers. It gets a great distorted tone in the second channel which is the lead channel. The clean channel is a decent clean but it's nothing to write home about. It has also a gain control on the clean channel to even this channel can get into classic rock tones such as Led Zeppelin AC/DC type of times. So really you could have two distortion channels in this and if that's how you controlled your game settings.

This amplifiers that work well with any guitar that you have around. I suggest getting a speaker cabinet that has British speakers installed. This is the kind campus tennis match well with the British voice to speaker.


OVERALL OPINION

I highly recommend this amp to anyone who needs a cheap and inexpensive amp that is good at getting high gain distortion with a very versatile second clean overdrive channel. This has reverb too which is a plus as well. I have seen these in the used section for right around $250 which is a great price for a decent sounding and multichannel amp.

SOUNDS

I was actually surprised at how good this amplifier did sound. I've heard so much talk and trash about the Bugera amplifiers that I was already a little biased towards them. This is an amp that even surprise me at how well it performed at the price point that was listed at. This amplifier features a pentrode and triode power switch which means it cuts the rate of power from 120 watts down the 60 watts of power. This is great if you want to dial in a little less headroom and a little more spongy grittier attack in the high gain channel.

The tone of this amplifier can come off a little fizzy or buzzy but not that that's necessarily a bad thing but just a taste preference thing. It's not really a tone that I like that much but I could see how it could be likable to some guitarist. This is an easy amp to dial in and it can only take you just a few minutes to find that sweet spot for this amplifier.

OVERALL OPINION

At new you can find these amps listed for right around $400. That is a great deal for a multi channel high gain in queen amplifier. I highly recommend this amplifier if you need an inexpensive amplifier to me you're practicing needs or band situation.
