UTILIZATION

The configuration is simple, we rule, we play, we did not spend his time on set or on the record.

To navigate between the modes of the 2 channels, you can do so either on the front panel or by footswitch, simply press the Mode button to switch to green to orange then red then back to AC Green.
On the channel clean / crunch, green corresponds to a classic clean sound, the orange to a more style and red plexi/JTM45 JCM 800 (yum)
The OD channel, green is something about the clean sound of red, orange (my favorite) add gain to the green mode and the red adds a layer to pull the heavy sounds

Everything is very clear on the face, ditto for the rear, it will qd even see the instructions to understand the basis for programming the footswitch although it is not complicated
Let me explain briefly (or not):
You can program in 2 ways:
- First, you want to assign a button on the facade, saying that the active effects loop on a button on the footswitch. One has only to press the button footswitch on the front of the head, you go into programming mode, you hold the button footswitch that you want to assign the effects loop, you press the FX Loop on head and voila! (Or so you just depress the button footswitch to exit programming mode)
- Second, you want to save your current configuration, for example: Channel clean / crunch mode orange, effects loop on, master 2. It remains to press the footswitch, hold for a few seconds the button footswitch that you want to save your preset and voila! (Do not forget to depress the button footswitch to exit programming mode)

I said that all the buttons in front are assignable footwitch, which is handy especially given the short time we put in the program, it is quite possible to reprogram its full footswitch between 2 pieces

The only downside for me on the presets, they only take into account that the switches in the facade but no equalizer or gain / volume of the channel, for example, so if you switch from one channel to another that does is not annoying but only if you change the channel mode where AC becomes a bit

SOUNDS

I dreamed of having a 1959 and a JCM 800 and this amp together with the brilliance (and especially it downright cheap: p)
The clean is much hotter than j'pensais especially with an LP, personally, I play a Gibson Slash on Appetite and this amp is a real happiness, no harm to find the sounds of guns but also AC / DC & cie.
on the other hand for metal, even with the beefy pickups (EMG81/85 kind) do not expect a miracle, why I prefer to use a preamp pedal format (TN E1) because even on the OD channel mode and red it is a bit light in gain for my taste)
But I did not buy the base for AC so I would not put it in negative point.


OVERALL OPINION

I use it recently but I am very happy even if a few little details bother me as the parallel loop can not be activated while the footswitch for the serial loop is possible, presets which take into account that the buttons and knobs not, but I finally found the sound I wanted, what marshall sound!
If you are looking for a good amp versatile enough (except for the pure metal and hard) to rock & roll, you fill and even more if you play guitar on a typed LP
It remains to pay slightly less than 1000 € all the same
