100w all-tube amp: four 12AX7 preamp and four EL34 in power
a knob for adjusting the bias very convenient (even necessary to use a multimeter qaund !!!!!)
3 channels (clear, crunch and lead) with eq for each channel
2 effects loops (1 to clear a channel for crunch and lead)
multiple outputs according to the impedance of the speaker
simulated output (AC is not much)
Reverb 2
power reduction is also very convenient for the performance of the lamps
5-way foot controller (3 + channel + reverb fx loop)
in short it is complete
attention to the original lamps no better quality and bias adjustment to the purchase
I takes only 8 because there is necessarily more complete (mesa road king, etc. ....)
UTILIZATION
You plug the guitar on his chosen channel is the rule and we play.
obtained quickly by a nice clear sound for lead is against the taking of a head for his own if you push too gain.
Finally, the manual is rather successful
SOUNDS
I'll try to be objective:
metal guitarist: go your way: not for c
But I play a gibson voodoo Exporer I tried on 2 of 5150 and with my friend, it's the big metal assured: we send very specific rhythmic and wild palm mute effective without being a breakdown in wrist, the receiver also responds to the finger and the eye. With tsl 100, despite hours of tweaking and adjustments, lamps changed (12ax7eh svetlana EL34 and new) set the bias (82mv) etc, its impossible to get a metal drinking: the dynamics is too limited and the sound is rough when you push the gain too far. However this amp is great for rock and maybe hard rock.
The clean sound is still very beautiful and very sweet and is rich with a slight chorus or delay. That will be the only sound that I miss when it is sold.
I put 8 because it still sounds nice and should find its audience among blues and rock musician. It is not at all jute suited to those wishing to get closer to the In Flames.
OVERALL OPINION
I have three years now but I want to part with it for an amp oriented metal (engl - Laney - Peavey).
Complete and with few options (bias adjustment - power limiter) it offers many opportunities for a wide range of musical styles except metal.
the price / quality ratio is quite correct.
