It has a slecteur of impdence (4 to 8 or 16 ohms)
It may even change for 6L6 in place of EL34 home!!

UTILIZATION

Very simple configuration, we get faster the sound is DSIR.
Wishing all beginners on the lamp and given the era of my budget, <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="wink" />

SOUNDS

I chose to practice the style (death), for the price I t bluff saturation is trs good against by lack of a few "safe" and attack.
Much better than a Peavey ValveKing example ....
Little breath taking into account the noise gate Intgr.
The effect XL?? I still searching ... No diffrence with or without <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt="sad" />
the EL34 growl trs well, better than the 6L6 criardent too my taste.

OVERALL OPINION

His major concern: the test in time, I bought it came out.
A score of RPET, a dozen concerts.
Appraisal:
- The footswitch, the connection trs trs so frail so small HS after a short time.
- 1 year warranty, made nine months that I have, it is now rpration: symptme? the head and knobs light up
but the lamps do not dmarrent therefore no sound. It is guaranteed of course, but after 9 months it ragant.
But I take the greatest care, she not travel in the trunk, but the rear seat in its original carton with foam adsorbent shock.
I can do better.
It's too fragile, at least, the components are too low-end, at the same time for normal selling price.
Too bad because this head sound, it has it all except good quality components.
Résumé in a good quality price, but that does not last over time. Fortunately, she broke down during the warranty if the rental of 600 annual use, hurt ....
Today I sold it (the brand new hit), and I'm dropping the switchblade of H n 'K shame because even in 1400, it does not include all the features of the Bugera.
This head had the potential is there Behringer bte that put the bowels of shit ....
