«  Good natural crunch »

5 w head lamps with Cabinet 12 January

UTILIZATION

can not do a simple volume knob and basta

SOUNDS

I play with a Les Paul Supreme and blade texas standard (copy strat micro system with simple passive / active / treble boost bass).
In the apartment's only clear if the walls tremble and neighbors crucify me.
Just repeats the bin with the les paul it live crunch. With the blade I have a clear range larger (single microphone).
The sound is very low level guts. Midrange and treble although this somewhat absent. the 12-hp is something to do in my opinion. Its very vintage I would say.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it repeats the last 6 months. Power level that moved more than my marshall MG30DFX (30w transistor). Sufficient if the drummer is not a monster.
I had gone to buy an amp lamp in a budget of 600 €. I tried lots of amps and when I tried the ear I hit the roof. Why? I was looking for a true vintage lamp his puke.
This is typically the kind of amp are you doing way down to have a true natural saturation and it sounds damn serious.
In fact the highlight of the amp is also its weak point. That is, in the apartment you forget the crunch because of the neighbors and repeating you forgotten the clean bulk.
In addition I have a shit pedal and frankly it works less well than my marshall transistor except for a foot: the volume pedal.
The volume pedal is a distortion pedal with this amp.
So the highlight is a real crunch lamp screaming for really cheap, and bass crazy.
In fact the highlight of the amp is also its weak point.
That is to say that he does not like the pedals and not very versatile. very distinctive vintage. but that's why we love him.
You plug a volume pedal you doing the sound of the amp and go back to my prick.
