50w/22w/7w all lamps, equipped with EL84
3 Channels each with separate settings (6 buttons and 2 swichs per channel)
Master Reverb and share

Output for Cabinet 04.08.16, output 2 pedals (not included), effect loop output
Alim. bi-voltage

Red or blue LEDs to brighten the scene, not essential but nice!

UTILIZATION

Detailed settings for many parameters, and opportunities
are really wide.
Easy to have a good sound, however, because it is dynamic
A single channel is adjustable in its very clean, the other two rather crunch or saturated.

SOUNDS

For Blues, Classic Rock or Hard Rock Standard (UFO, Paging or in kind), I think it's perfect. Metal for the hyper saturated, I do not know, I think it would be good too, but I know my limits and I would not mind.
I love the sounds I got for now I have put no effect, and it is already much better than my Fender Hotroad with a pedal.
The clean sound is as good as the Fender, with more settings.

OVERALL OPINION

I just bought it, brought the United States (here I find the huge difference in price doubled!)
I bought a Mesa Boogie 2x12 cabinet with Celestions front VT30, too cool
