Tube amp out 70 watts into 4 ohms running with 2 6L6 power.
2 entry for channel bass and 2 entry for the normal channel.
Simplicime settings on each channel: volume, bass, treble. There is also a master general.
No effects, just good sound good roots ...

UTILIZATION

There is not as simple amp. Even a bassist can use it!
Joking aside, when plugging his bass on it (a U.S. jazz bass in my case) was immediately warm and round sound. With the guitar is the same. The treble and bass knobs are still effective but rarely admit use it.

SOUNDS

I play rythm'n'blues and soul and this amp really sound.
Below 5 volume and 5 master sound is round and accurate at the time, the volume is generally correct but should not play with a drummer lumberjack. This works well in small clubs and when you do jazz.
When it exceeds half the volume and master it gets really interresting.
The sound is increasingly grotty but without being disagreeable. It is a beautiful natural distortion that fits perfectly on bass. Me love!

OVERALL OPINION

I use this amp for 5 years and he walks in his 40 years Malagasy hair.
I advise all scratch but mostly because all the bass slightly distorted bass sound that comes out of this amp when you tease him a little is dropped.
However one small problem: I take another amp when I play on stage or outdoors because it is a fair bit in power. That's what gives it its charm because it attacks the lamps without a volume inanaudible.
I would do without hesitation that choice and I advice to all those who play in small places and who want big sound fat.
