Any lamp head 120 watts (4x EL34 power and 4x ECC83 in pramplification)
2 channels (1 clean and 1 Warp)
An effects loop
1 EQ per channel
unfortunately no rverb

UTILIZATION

Since we have two channels, the use is very simple. The manual is more clear trs. In short, the perfect freelance how to operate the bte ds Premire the minutes of use.

Otherwise, there is no rverb. It's a shame, but at the same time, when you make the choice to buy a relatively high-end amp and without concessions, it is expected to have the hardware that is made for pro use. And all the pros utlisent rverbs external.

on the other hand, trs intrscente thing regarding the effects loop.
- One can put in or parallle SERIES. So if you want to put in a compressor, gate, an EQ graphic ... we will SERIES, just as we connect this type of insert effects in a console. And if you want to put a rverb, chorus, flanger, ... it is parallle will, as with the Aux Sends a console in order to assay the FFECT and shuffled to the direct sound of the amp. In addition, this loop runs -10 dBV or +4 dBu, allowing to adapt all the effects, professional or general public. A good trs, trs useful to fawn on her.
- Two, one can choose which (s) channel (to) the loop will be active (if you want the effects of clean sounds for example). And again, it saw the trs.

So, in effect, this head is very well thought.

SOUNDS

Clean: clean trs, trs round, trs hot. The only minor complaint will be a shortage of lightweight Tone quickly corrected by boosting the prsence or treble. But overall trs good, with lots of body.

Warp: HUGE. Trs his ample-bodied. In addition, the sound is extremely hot. Metal rings in a spirit US when the gain is pushed back. In addition, this channel is not fate that make Satus standards. Trs to have one little super crunch sound as well.
The sound is super hot and super pais, and even pushed hard, it does not become aggressive. The sustain is close to the infinite and the sound is super wild. The sound is so powerful roar.
There are two functions on this channel:
- Lube that boosts the floor of between, which has the effect of having a little more gain and especially more compression. Ideal for the solo for more sustain and make the game even easier by leveling attacks mdiators. on the other hand disengage during rhythmic as it crushes the lgrement sounds, so we have a little less rhythmic percuttantes.
- Sub, which boosts infra serious. The sound is standard, against your bassist pulls geule because his bass is found commpltement drowned by the sound of Warp X.

Otherwise, I agree with the opinion of its not down for the super dig but not from the Amli. The EQ works well but trs within normal limits for an amp. Pantera Rammstein sound or just the fact that guitarists utlisent graphic EQ. The EQ Warp wireless network.

Last day from 30/04

I have the HP virtual home of my Marshall cabinet (Celestion G12L) and I replaced with new Celestion Century Vintage (killings, in its hyper pchu, Defines, which curve of rponse frquence will marvel at the big distorted sounds). I finally put HP in a quality adquate with Warp X, and I redcouvert my amp. P.. In, what's HUGE! The distortion is really great grazed, supe hot (all the harmonics are really in tune, giving a saturation hyper music, even if it is super aggressive). Really Satus style Mesa / Boogie, with more tonal and more cheaply. It's really more than a standard JCM2000, much hotter than a big style ENGL Fireball. Printing will sound even further as it is physical, we feel the sound through her body. For me, the only amp to compete with the Warp X in the CATEGORY Metal are VHT Pitbull and Framus, but they are much more expensive. The Warp X is a killer in his hyper modern and super hot. I highly recommend it.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 months. It is the nickel level. Hotter and more powerful in sound than Engl.
I love it, it's really good trs. Potato hell, its fat ... and in addition it is the best amp I've ever seen. Hughes & Kettner has really high level look. The faade plexi that dvoile lamps that heat, the Warp logo that lights up the ds light the bte ... It is a pleasure to watch, ds that we just turn it on and we expect that the heat lamp. In short, gnial.
