peerk « My quest stops here!! »
Published on 06/17/11 at 07:3950W all-tube amp (two 12ax7 and four el84)
2 channels: 1 clean/crunch (with volume control)
1 overdrive /overdrive + (with volume control)
1 common master volume
1 common 3-band eq
1 bright control per channel
Connections: Effects loop plus speaker outputs and footswitch
In short, simple and useful.
I play in a band with drums, bass and guitar: I set the volume of the amp to 12:00 and it rocks everybody off their feet.
It lacks a reverb but I use the effects loop with a neunaber west reverb (I used before my pandora PX5D, but it "dirtied up" the sound).
USE
I was looking for something simple and I found it. You only need to dial in the 3 volume controls (master and 2 channels) to work your sound.
However, despite the ease of use, the amp has a lot of potential and it demands some time to get the right settings.
SOUND
It's great.
I play it with the dedicated cab, you need to learn to manage the volume when toggling between clean/distorted sounds. Each pot has a direct impact on the sound so the EQ on my amp is set to 12:00 (neutral position).
The sound is dynamic, percussive, without being cold. The distorted sound is compressed and well-balanced. Clean sounds are well-balanced, while the crunch easily follows the guitar volume, so you need to take your time to master this parameter.
OVERALL OPINION
I've had it for two years: I had a peavey classic 30 and have also played a marshall jvm 410c, the sound is incomparable, but it's been two years since I don't have to break my head in search of my sound.
I would buy it again without hesitation. Thank you Adam Laboga!
