100 watts all-tube head has two channels:
- 3 12AX7 (I juggle a bit between The models I like: tung gold ground, Hey, LPs, and China 12ax7B)
4 EL34 (Groove tubes for my part)
- A 4-band legalization
(Bass, midlle, treble, presence) for both channels, but ultimately damage if Gnant.
- 1 SETTING THE rverb indpendant for each channel.
(That's gnial by against).
- Two volume and two CONTRL gain.

Connections:

Faade of:

Between a jack for the guitar
A footswitch between the two tracks.

Rear:

An effects loop with rglage
Two outputs for recording: A direct (sound pramp not filter)
A filter for recording purpose.
Impdance switch (8 or 16 ohms)
A power switch Low or high)
HP output.
Two fuses with LED lights indicating when the lamp is dead.
Gnral a fuse. ACCS easy all the fuses)

For me it's team in Fully Groove tubes. (EL34 amp in)
10 compltes connections for the switch to impdance, and output power.

UTILIZATION

Using ultra simple, easy to handle.

SOUNDS

A Clear Channel / Overdrive:

-> To the sound of this amp (and even any) I recommend a 10-band equalizer. I found a home RgE10 boss is 40 euros. It's fantastic! The sound is incredible proportions! The original sound seems quite flat, it really has to try and serve both the blues rocker that Aguri of all kinds! For cheap you rediscover your sound Fully and I do not even speak the clear! <-

CHANNEL 1:

Clear
I t trs also surprised by its clear, sweet music.
Without being among the most impressive, the sound is simple but the fact remains that they are rich and can play sweet things without damaging the eardrums. Or a good chorus and flanger ca does it well!

Overdrive:
Impressive accuracy! Carr was dead! Arle pile on the ropes for the Ac / Dc well surly! The SETTING THE prsence can bring out the grain finnesse. A good grain ar a desired thickness ... gnial! Heat and density are waiting for you!
I rather like to push the volume and the gain of Channel 1's for a good lamp.
Channel B: OD / Disto
CHANNEL 2:

Disto:
A gain level, I want to say it, enough to make the maiden metallica and other. If you possdez an overdrive pedals to boost Do not hesitate, worth a peek hours .. ear!

Trs compress the grain is compared to the other two. We do here has aa much more muscular sound than the rest. But the major problem (at last I found is that it really lacks mediums ...

The sound is heavy cras and trs. So I do not know if the era was c'tait the goal but lacks a bit of momentum. has reminded me of an equalizer "V". You know the young mtalleux 18, who cut the growing medium and low?! lol rsultat emerges at all in the mix and the sound gives no shade ...

Overall the amp once equalize spring, there are fast muscle Marshall sound equalizer. ) For channel 2: Eq mandatory!

The sound is good trs as a whole, the distortion is in mute trs own course and even more after stroke by pedals.

The low and high modes can juggle between two colors, is low in acute soft, less dynamic overall and trs sounds good for blues. In high is richer and muscular perfect for live performances.

OVERALL OPINION

An amp that juggling a Hard rock blues. Good reliability of the head in it even is well mounted and trs aa look more than solid.

The sound is missing characters and frankly it's not an amp that promises hours of fun! The power is ample, the grain is good it's good that Marshall can dgoter for cheap .. (400 euros for me).

As said one of our friends here as I pass by almost as Marshall, he's a perfectly fine with me waiting to put a little more for a 800 or more an antiquated genre plexi et al. .. YUM!.

It is not about an ultra high-end amp but for a while first lamp seems a good choice trs:

You want to go to any lamp, you're tired of your transo but your budget is tight?

DARK DARK DARK!
