Best value:
Excellent
Amp 100W lamps
4 channels:
- Clean / crunch with gain equal and common (middle separated)
- Lead half with equal gain and common
Several modes: bright / boost bottom ...
Full connectivity to connect all types of baffle.
FX loop adjustable parallel
Integrated Noise Gate
Footswitch:
Control via footswitch Z-5 footswitch or two standard stereo
The two stereo jacks allow you to control the head with modules MIDI or G-Lab example
UTILIZATION
Config really complete but requires a lot of time to take in hand.
Common settings are simple but preamp settings the power section has a huge impact on the final result, 2 buttons and deep bass presence that are sensitive enough!
We easily obtain a big sound, no need to turn the knob bcp gain.
In terms of its clean, crunch, it becomes more cotton, but I did not choose this head for that!
SOUNDS
It is therefore really Metal / Hard rock and setting options in a versatile background in this area (any type of metal).
I've heard that you could do anything with ... Well, I choose not to do it blues or funk anyway!
The clean is really beautiful, but attacked with humbuckers in my Les Paul or my Jackson is still very large.
The crunch for me falls very quickly in the area of distortion, and I find the sound quite cold. I use it instead to send a little less than the lead channel mix in general (for some style arpeggios). Again not bother to look or even sound fender marshall ...
Leads: Big sound with a particular grain "ENGL". Palm Mute, thick, and his own sword. Different coloration between channel 1 and 2. I use one for riffs rather Heavy / Hard Rock and 2 for more modern riffs and wicked style Indus, Djent ...
I personally love the sound of this amp, I play prog metal, but the use for the big rock is really excellent! It's one here or stops the versatility of the machine, to funk and blues, frankly I choose not!
At the time, I made the choice to have an amp Hard Rock / Metal quality without putting the price of a Mesa Dual Rectifier. I've never tried the second so I can not say much against it by a really great price / quality ratio
OVERALL OPINION
I use it again and live since 2006 and I've never had to replace anything and it really sounds in all situations!
In the studio or on big stages, I had whenever proposals from the engineers to redeem myself ... I would say it is unanimous in big sound!
Clarification, I use it with a Marshall 1960A cabinet, I've tested with V30 and it sounds a little bigger yet, but a good speaker is still in V30 1000-1500 € to add ... I'm zikos, not a millionaire!
