Value For Money :
Excellent
Tube amp mounted with 4 ECC83 and 2 6L6 (interchangeable via the bias), class AB amplifier. <br>Power point of view I'm on the 60 watt <br>Adjustment level was a 3 channel amp with 2 separate equalizers for the lead and rhythm the other for clean. To the rhythm channel it's on or off the lead and clean channel simultaneously. <br>The bass and treble and middle have push / pull pots (to bring out what you prefer) <br>Each channel has a separate volume, and rhythm and lead cannel each have a gain knob. <br>Add to this that the amp has a boost activated via footswitch, a way to increase the dynamics, the wattage of the amp (<br>For this I give a 8/10 because of fiddling with the buttons, it is often difficult to activate what we want and must adjust the knobs to get there, and we regret the absence of a master volume
UTILIZATION
Config level, this is special, as stated above must adjust and know there a minimum, so the configuration is not that easy (after all, it's kind of my first amp so that it could be my lack of experience) <br><br>Regarding the manual, it is clear as spring water but not that useful (settings they offer are poor) <br><br>Its level can get the type of sound you want, no matter if your taste changes (in December I had a sound, now I have change for a sound that suits me more) <br><br>So for all that I put a 7/10
SOUNDS
I mostly play metal, this amp is a Hi-Gain so that necessarily suits my style of music. <br>I play it with a Jackson RR3M mounted with Duncan SH2 and TB4. The distortion sound is sharp if somewhat mushy, and clean with some reverb is really beautiful. The sound is quite crystalline and is very good for an amp of this type and the metal tone is the big thing about this amp. <br>From time to time I plug in my Whammy DT, and it works well too. <br><br>The sound that I prefer is distortion from the 6L6 tubes is less runny for my taste (still a little but this gives some problems getting a clean gain sound) and clean sound which is very good. <br> I hate that this is too mushy with a bit too much gain.
OVERALL OPINION
So I've used it for almost six months before I tried a marshall amp, Laboga, Engl etc. ... but I did not like the idea of single-channel equalizer for three different channels, and as soon as you put in the double equalizer they were maddening enough, they blow when the laney came out, it allowed me to find a good compromise of quality / price. <br>The feature that I like most about this amp is the ability to regulate everything from A-Z whether the dynamics through the tone and the wattage. The first boost is nice too! <br>At least, that's when I palm mute to make transitions on a note not palm mute it to a huge spike in the bass that stiflles everything. (But I think the speaker also comes into play) <br><br>The Value for money is good but I regret not having waited to buy the EVH 5150 50w. <br><br>With experience and the output current in terms of amp I know I would hesitate a long time that's for sure.
