All tubes fashion: 2 12AX7 preamp, two 6V6 amp for stage ... Classic.

5W is enough to play (hard) at home and 15W to sound the amp again with big nags battery or the (cons) low. Probably also for a small scene.

Integrated TS9 is the best effect, better than a tube saturation and very vintage in mind.

My only regret: no midrange control.

UTILIZATION

To find it complicated to use it must be done on purpose. The effects loop is very convenient (and I add the missing reverb).

SOUNDS

For rock, hard rock, blues, jazz ... the transparency that still retains the sound of the guitar and own the dynamics tubes makes this amp very interesting.
TS9 goes from slight crunch to the hairy guitar and saturation according to the dosage. I personally play the psychobilly it and it rocks!

For a heavier sound, use a pedal (metal HxC ...). It will be fine.

Its clear I would say that 15 is not TSA fenderien rather Marshallian. A little hiwattien perhaps on the clean channel between the Vox and Fender sound on the lead channel (TS9). But with a good reverb I can play surfrock and smacking as a California amp 1500 euros.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it to avoid lugging my head Hiwatt 100 35 kg repeated. The sound is close (close enough, eh, it's not quite the same category ...), it weighs much less, the TS9 is integrated and the look is very nice. So I can also push 15W almost fully benefit from the grain and "tubes" when I was clamped my head Hiwatt if I did not want to shake the foundations of the studio.

I limit the risk of back pain!
