I have good ay ... VH100R my all-tube (in June 12 AX7 pre-amp and amplifier in 6L6/EL32 4)
The PSE head out its 100 Watts lamps and I quickly invested in a 4X12 for it to have it sound distribution MRIT ... After a few time and rpeter, given the power, you can remove 2 power tubes to switch to 50 watts which allows a more efficient low volume (harmonic prsence, etc). Some dconseillent the manipulation, the other not, on the contrary ...
Settings: front, 2 main channels (clean / drive) almost identical to the settings with each of their A / B, giving a total of four channels with rglage indpendant reverb, effects loop level, equalization, etc. ...
Common to the two channels: SETTING THE prsence the (mid building) trs effective.
Connectors: front, two ales is high and low, and the rear, with all the different connections possible impdances mono and stereo, 3 loops possibility of effects in an insert parallle, and two others due to each channel and adjustable in faade for each channel (clean / drive). A switch rglage the bias is also a possible change to the type of lamps (dpart of the EL34 in amplification, I think. The one I have is mounted 6L6).
Pernet finally footswitch to control channel 2 indpendamment the two boost and reverb.
The only problem: no master for all (even if it is possible to insert the Bridger effects the rear and adjust the master volume via the knob of the insert, but it ' derrire is not very practical)
Wala and therefore can rglages compltes trs connectors: 9 / 10
UTILIZATION
The rglages are fairly intuitive but I took some time to find a balance between the four channels (gnral volume level, drive ...) and worse must be considered with rglages guitar pickups, adding nuances, which ultimately is a good point but exploit.
I russi rglages get what I'm fiddling a little, and APRS rpeter ten, I developed my rglages + effects for all four respective channels
The manual is in English, but quite simple and easy to access, but a good rest of the English and not the panacea.
8 / 10
SOUNDS
After a few times, the sound palette is INTERESTED, it was crystal clear sounds REALLY almost to the level of Fender amps (I have long jou a performer and clear this amp seems better : a good slap)
The boost channel clear, therefore follows the legalization, we can have both a crunch pntrant and warm, it's nice but also consider the legalization basic clean channel .
The drive is caractrise by a certain coldness in the mid, a sound that I would call brilliant, aa some characters. I was expecting something hotter but in any case but it's not cold either, do not abuse it. He said this MRIT not drool and be fairly clear in the attack and cruncher like velvet.
His lead is a real dclinaison rgal with a big sound really tight grain with incomparable Marshall JCM 900 is net prcis, arpond harmonics, in short is the top especially as the lamps are solicited. The trouble with lead is that the higher the lev is greater the wind (with apparent volume of the guitar once: Drang): slution: noise gate in the loop.
Without reaching a large mesa, approaching a big sound tight but not as compressed as the British left, but with characters REALLY personal, always with that little bit of brilliance: a you ... at least that's what I like about this particular ct (why dpenser more for what everyone is looking ???).
So a lot of sonic possibilities for this head which I still do not exploit the full potential sound with rglages possible. Note that it is worth trs the nuances of my guitar microphone positions (H / H) which is still good even CHARACTERISTICS amps.
9 / 10, taking into account the small blows lead but also the potential noise that I have not yet Fully exploit. A palette of sounds REALLY versatile.
OVERALL OPINION
I've had a few months and I have no regrets because in my style of Zique (pop-rock-mtal), it fits perfectly and possde a price / qualitson / Ingala a possibility I think (even if it is still difficult in adgotter OCCAZ).
I tried the Peavey 5150, Marshall JCM 900 and even 800 before, the Engl (a bit too expensive for me and not found in nine OCCAZ) and also the mesa (but not in conditions "buying a t te ")
At present I do not regret my purchase and this amp seems evolutive enough so that I can not get enough APRS 6 months of use anyway.
Laney is a good brand lamps trs even if it suffers from low reputable ...
I say 9 / 10 for total satisfaction confirm the future
To 750/800 in 1100 and about nine OCCAZ is a good amp trs versatile and powerful for the repeated scene: you make your euros in watt gnreux well.
EDIT: more samples available as more PC ...
