All Tube Amplifier Head (12X7A etEL34)
120 watts
impedance switch back to 4/8/16 ohms
3 independent channels, with: treble / middle / bass / gain for the lead and crunch channel 2
the other channel is for clear sound with: treble / mid and bass
master with: presence and reverb.

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration, no need for a tray 5 to find the desired sound
we get easily a good sound, for my part I play heavy metal on this side no problem, big style distortion "British" on the channel distortion and crunch very sharp on the channel "lead" gender-peavey xxl.
the manual is pretty well explained, downloadable from BUGERA and French, it's a good point

SOUNDS

This amp is perfect for my style of music, for against, for the trash metal I am more qualified, unless you add (as I did) a good distortion pedal (Rocktron-style silver dragon or MXR)
- I play with an EMG 81 equipped JACKSON, sound is nikel
Them the clear, I hardly used, so try not clear on this point, it is necessary that I look at my other one amp: Randall RG series, therefore, less than the low frequency RANDALL, more distortion couillu sharp but less, in fact, these two are very different amp and that's what I like, so everyone's opinion is above
-I appreciate the two channels: lead and crunch, it is versatile, from blues to rock UNTIL hard rock, for the second view is more heavy speed metal of the 80

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one week (I plan to keep it for life)
the poit low, the pedals (4 flootswitch) the cable is tiny for connection behind the head, seemingly fragile, I think that sooner or later I'll be piss with the connection, I would change later
I try: Marshall MG series (not great, limited shit) and of course RANDALL (I love this brand) BUGERA head satisfies me in a book of mine namely: HEAVY METAL
quality / price ratio unbeatable
no problem I would do this choice, especially since the level look, head on my cabinet RANDALL is terrible, the sound great, look great. (except the pedals, the rest seems to me strong, so not on this appriori amp) to advise
