Once additional header to be in the arsenal of metals. American-made classic and rigorous, head to the meter displays the 100w with 4 Sovtek 5881 in the power section.
Aesthetic simple but effective, this is the model one revolution of the same brand but with some modifications to give it its title Krankenstein dimebag signature ...
This head is a dual channel fairly simple in the settings. For the boosted channel sweep (a kind of dynamic équalo acting on a wide frequency band to change the color of sound), the classic bass middle and treble, and gain. Note the presence of two masters rather surprising (!) That you switch using the supplied bracket. The utility? It can be used to boost a solo passage for example.
The clean channel is very simple, volume and bass, mid treble point bar.
Behind breathtaking nothing fancy either, the bare minimum and besides, we ask him any more. Note an effects loop with adjustable boost present only on the signature model.

UTILIZATION

The manual is very (too?) Amber, but hey not really a gas plant this amp.
We obtain the sound you want quickly.
Simple and effective ...

SOUNDS

The saturated range from the big power metal acdc through EVH ... so ... very good
End the brutal without a rack-shaped gas plant, guitar amp cable and hop on balance the sauce. manufacturers have finally realized the expectations of today's guitarists: the large wholesale and the big but simple.
The saturation level is extreme, it is the first time I played with an amplifier whose gain is so high while guarda a starfish, and dynamic as big.
However, I think I tried almost everything in this area, I was surprised but most of the time very disappointed.
The cleans are very nice, slamming the very funky to jazzy round everything goes through against impossible to bend, it remains upright even pushing the channel volume.

OVERALL OPINION

I have tried this amp a few hours with diffrent guitar (the tithe among others) and I have the direque impressionqui emerges is one tural satisfaction, I love this amp, it has the aggressiveness, power, heavy hairy balls so to speak;)
Too bad the effects loop is not bypassble but hey, not really disturbing in my practice.
The 5881 used are good but should be changed by ADP or JJ to win again in the dynamics.
The value price is right as is in the € 1800, so far below a Uberschall for example, quality and use equivalent.
To buy the closed eyes but clearly intended to be used even if very typical metal by adjusting the gain to a beautifully ca crunch

Ps: to pass easily 50w simply remove the 2 6L6 External 0000 -> _00_ switch and adjust the impedance of half the value of the baffle, such as for a baffle 8 ohms on the amp is 4ohms rule !
Congratulations to support the team for the krank answer to this thorny question!
Basically, the rule 2 and it sounds just explodes.
