Value For Money : Excellent
Amp head lamps (2 x EL84, 2 x 12AX7 & 1 x 12AX7LM), other users have already well complter all this, but I'll make the effort to add some

Front, I'll Epargne the bass eq, middle high ..

A switch-clean, drive, drive more, with a sparation (LMH for light, mdium, high) that will typify your saturation with, you guessed it, a lightweight crunch a saturation average for the The switch, the crunch has more pronounced the larger rock distortion for M, the high gain distortion ... the big fuzzy boiling for H (it has to come of my guitars are far from being typsmtal)
For me, the L channel out from the crowd, with far less compression and voicing a more open, dynamic, trs sensitive to the nuances of the game but we'll see in the section sound.
A mid-switch is a bit useless for my taste, which activates a kind of V eq mtalleux dear to ...
A switch-bright, far more useful to him, which corrects the rponse
acute, very practical, with a choice, its a typical fender, trs brilliant rponse a neutral and a more smooth but still quite open and usable.
A-reverb, pretty basic but not inintressante.

At the rear.
A dummy load super-convenient way to play without plugging the cabinet, so to register via the exit dedicates without having to make a microphone and without pushing the amp thoroughly.
-3 Hp outputs 4, 8, 16 ohms, practice, but damage is only one use.
-A headphone basic but effective.
Output-to attack the clean channel of another amp,
Output-to attack the back end of another amp, never tried ...
-Formulation with a recording output (which is far from being a gimmick to time.)
A-mono effects loop (SERIES), fairly transparent.
-A socket for the footswitch (footswitch some light on the way, a switch for the reverb supplmentaire 'or sparation drive / more drive would be nice t ...

UTILIZATION

A format friendly enough, a power that can enjoy the lights without losing his hearing and the police round up a simulator hp convincing enough, the sound immediately exploitable, even without touching the knobs, no matter what channel switched connectivity and especially extremely complte. It all.

SOUNDS

Used with a Gibson ES 335 and US tlcaster. (2 * 12 cabinet with celestion greenback closed Mount)

A fall was clean, detailed bass, a warm, highs not aggressive (despite the bridge tlmanche mapple, as I recall)
For my part I only play on the drive channel with a gain trs light but the volume down almost a background, we obtain a clean trsractif who goes on a big crunch any forte, strong point , a potato standard, a standard dynamic short, I conquered. Channel more drive and compress a little too hard mtal typ 90 '

OVERALL OPINION

Good quality price, rich connectivity, a convincing, cohrent choice of lamps, the head amp crasis just in Chinese production of vox / fender / marshall in This category price (less than thousand euros).
