UTILIZATION

Very easy to adjust
Use low volume is not bad for those who train at home.

SOUNDS

This amp is a blues / rock very comfortable with clean sounds and crunches.
If you want to push the saturation a bit much, you will not flirt with metal.
I plug an SG Junior or Classic (P90) in the entry "HI".
I only use the Lead channel that I do not push too hard in gain (3/4) to have a slight crunch that I can "clear" with the volume knob of the guitar.
From a very personal opinion, I do not really like the clean channel of this amp. Perhaps I find that hard to adjust. I would rather use the Lead channel that allows me to have a more velvety and warm at the same time or by reducing the volume of the guitar but also adding an overdrive.
For a more dirty, I switched my "Bad Monkey".
To be even more messy, I boost with "TS808"
The receiver supports very well here and it's great for a good sound punk / rock is dirty but accurate.
The head is plugged into a 2x12 cabinet with two Celestion homemade (a Greenback and Gold).
I play sometimes with SG Std, a Telecaster or a Stratocaster. With the SG, we must review some settings because here grows stronger. With both Fender is just as good.

OVERALL OPINION

In fact this amp is not for me.
This is the bassist who lends me when it comes to playing in places where my normal configuration (Mesa Boogie MarkIIB & Fender Bassman) would be far too powerful.
I love this amp, as if the sound is totally different from what I usually use, it is still great. It complies with the sounds of P90 which I am a fan.
I tried other power amps equivalent and this one is really good favorite.
Be careful though because it lacks versatility but if you are really sure to be in a register from blues to punk to rock, then this amp may really surprise you.
