Everything has already been said.
50 watt tube amp: 2 channels, 5 modes and reverb.
UTILIZATION
Having had a JCM 900 head and Screamer 50 where there is not much knob, it changed me much less than there ale as a Roadster, for example.
So in all cases was sound, but the knobs are the most important gain and trebble that "change" quite sound.
Otherwise it is fairly simple, at least for me, because I like amps with a lot of possibilities.
The manual is very comprehensive (in French please) but as mentioned below can do without.
SOUNDS
It is what I was looking for, ie a versatile amp with the "modes" for each channel and with gain to spare. I play Hard Rock, Metal, Blues and this head gives me all these possibilities of sounds.
I use it with:
-Cabinet Peavey 412JS
Thierry N4-Cachera Replica (guitar luthier custom copy Washburn N4) mounted in SH-6 Distortion (bridge), HS-1 59 '(neck).
Tanglewood tomkat-mounted in SH-4 (bridge) and the original neck pickup.
Maxon-OD9
Enter the heart of the matter, ie the sound. So in terms of channel 1 where it has the clean and crunch, if I compare it to what I had before, well it repackages the JCM 900 and the Screamer.
The sound-clean (1st mode) goes from hot to round slamming well crystalline (by adding reverb is what I hear) it lacks a chorus and it has a sound type 80's.
The Crunch-(2nd mode) is going from clean to crunch lightly in attacking the strings well bluesy crunch to make small jam in the SRV.
Channel 2 (what I use most), like it repackages the other two heads that I had. It was here the modes Raw, Vintage and Modern.
-The Raw (1st mode) is a crunch that will Creedence Led Zep, it adapts especially well as a rhythmic type ACDC.
-The Vintage (2nd mode) is a distortion round, a little fat, but relatively mild. It looks like the distortion of an AC30 or JMP. Boosted with a good overdrive as Maxon as I found her a Hard FM 80's and it farts!
-The Modern (3rd mode), then it sends is severe! I was much surprised when I tried it in the store than it t be more than that in the PANCHE ... But once home, pffff, la la la la big slap! In fact, we do try to not realize what he has to offer this little toy. But once we stop the madness is over, I had tears in my eyes ... seriously It sends heavy, Dream Theater, Jorn, Pagan's Mind in pieces over the nags ... The must boosted by maxon is there was Killswitch Engage and All That Remains débraquent that at home. Hallucinating too!
on the other hand attention with the bass, because it quickly if we drool over the 13h or 12h. Compare this with the Engl that I had, the distortion on the Screamer was cold enough (perhaps because it is very straight and (too?) Said ..?).
OVERALL OPINION
I've had it yesterday but I spent hours and hours over the hack in every sense and it will continue for long.
I like that spend time on an amp to see all the possibilities it offers us what I like its versatility!
I had other head: Marshall JCM 900 (good amp as the first lights) Engl Screamer 50 (limited but good amp for my taste and too loud). My father was a Marshall JMP and Jet City 20. Okay and my VHT UltraLead a ... So I knew what I was looking like his.
At value for money, well MESA MESA is good and it's expensive but I bought it for OCCAZ 'so that was for me. The quality is there and there, the fintion is perfect. Since quite a year I dream of owning a mesa, the dream has come true so yes I would do this choice!
