It's a light amplifier, 50w, Marshall.
I connect a coprs 8410 12hp 4 *
There is a footswitch input and one for the guitar. There are both channels: clean and distortion, channel A and B. 2 rglages with master volume and reverb, a presence control, bass, middle, and the lead treeble pramp gain for the gain of channel B (therefore distortion) and the gain pramp for channel A.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is no one bit simpler. The controls are clear and are essential. There is little touches that will clear up a lot and we pass the rglages of these options as stupid and unnecessary given their quality of some interesting delay, chorus ... (For these effects, even when peripherals are specially prfrables far ...).
The sound I get out exlent is a super grain of sound. It is easier to register on the heads 50w 100w so for me it is more convenient to leave the sounds I DSIR. Also I live in an apartment and I come also make sounds that suit me perfectly without too much volume and admnage concert.
I bought the head of OCAS and therefore no manual.

SOUNDS

I use a Start to 1972 with the head and I get a pure sound xlente agressivit 70 'is that is is I'm looking for. the distortion is not made to play the heavy stuff or mtal I play mainly in the style of Hendrix, Clapton, Floyd, Led Zep, SRV, Winter, Jefferson Airplane, Zappa ... and the quality of the sound is perfect for me to find that his blues or blues rock psych.
I also use an Ibanez Petrucci guitar which is less my style but I like the sound and the handle so that I use from time to time. With the head so I have a heavier sound than the stratum (double Humbucker forces).
The sound is trs 70s like I said, just down the lead gain distortion for an aggressive, Submitted ... by mounting the lead gain results in a super distortion (which I agree, at least), just not too heavy, not too fat either (so musicians avoid heavy music fan) but remains in the hard IDAL 70 '( Led Zep ...).
In his clear, the sound is warm and saturating lgrement lamps with gain and volume gives a depth trs interesting.
Obviously I prfre this type of sound with heavy distortion that I use a fat fuzz distortion to enhance the sound from time to time, but the sound fuzz the interest of not being heavy.

OVERALL OPINION

I have the amp for a short time (few months).
I find that I IDAL to do: RPET, concerts, playing alone in the apartment ... It is not super heavy either so with a little courrage can be transported without galrer. The sound suits me really well.
I test a lot of amps before aqurir: JCM 2000, Twin, DIFFERENT marshall combo transistor (which I did the mistake of a aqurir), Peavey, Crate ...
I bought my amp OCCASION: head + body for same price. It is on an investment, but hey, it's the long term, let you go, and the sound is always ...
