Tube amp (made by Fender in Mexico)
8 lamps preamp
4 lamps amplification
100w 3 channel
effects loop
two outputs 8 and 16 hp 4 ohms
ignition and standby are on the back
pedal very good channel 1 2 3 + effects loop
simple adjustment
low middle high gain flight and channel presence
no effect, but y 'has no need of it is in 5150 it has an effect all by itself

UTILIZATION

I will not dwell on the manual (the user fender understand) the only interest is that the pattern comes with
for her is simple you plug his guitar and it sounds hop
Channel 3
the one dedicated to light if we put the gain of 2 (if you go up the gain you get a crunch near the old marshall)
2 dedicated to the crunch (a fade to the user marshall), a crunch to the van halen but we may as well play ac / dc
Channel 3 is when he has the lead channel par excellence, a fantastic sound harmonics well finally returned his VH
in fact all three channels are their own developments (the two began or finished the 1 and 3 starts or finished 2)

SOUNDS

I use this amp with a 400 HP behringer w (I know you can not have everything) and I also play many walks of scorpions as pieces by van halen through the ac / dc or metallica
same attention when the amp is typed van halen
I use it mainly with a peavey wolfgang which is fitted with a DiMarzio super distortion in acute (that is with the scorpions that I play) and I find all versatile enough
Channel two is great we go from a slight crunch has a good sound hard with the volume of your guitar (to play "feeling" of Van Halen is the ideal)
The settings of the three channels do you get the feeling of having three amps
I do not use effects at the moment (as I have more)

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two days
is the worthy successor to the peavey amp (even if the sound does not clear what one might have hoped)
this is my third tube amp
I previously had a Marshall Super Lead and a peave 5150 mkII mkI well with this amp and I found a little both of my previous amp (surprisingly eddie who owned the same)
value for money is amazing (made in Mexico)
it's still the amp van halen and when we see the success of the previous two I should say that the work as well
then here in addition to having made a financial matter I think I found the amp I was looking ever since
