-All-tube amp head.
-50 Watts
2x6L6 2xEL34-or, depending on your preference.
-2 Channels:
-> 1: Clean / Crunch
-> 2nd: Raw / Vintage / Modern
-> A master, reverb, presence, gain an independent channel.
-> 3-band EQ: bass, mid, treble, too independent.
-A footswitch: channel change / Reverb / Solo (adds power to pass over the other instruments)

UTILIZATION

At first glance, it looks like an amp plug & play, but it is not the case at all.
The 3-band EQ is very versatile. You turn one of three knobs and all your sound changes. We must spend several hours to find his sound. But when it's really a very big sound.
-Manual in English, rather clear. But little use.

SOUNDS

-I bought it to play metal / hardcore, and I must say that after a good set that shipments puree.
-I play a PRS Singlecut it with SE (middle range) and it sounds pretty good. It's quite fat and warm.
-The amp is very versatile, the clean is good enough I find (with a small delay is the top), the crunch also. Where it gets interesting is on channel 2, the Vintage mode gives you a very warm sound of the 80s. The channel that I use almost all modern time, is truly excellent: modern distortion, with the grain mesa (we like it or not).

OVERALL OPINION

"I use this amp for 6 months and I'm not disappointed. The all-tube 50 Watts more than enough, I'm barely half the volume in rehearsal. I use this head with a Mesa 2x12 Rectifier: his cabinet.
-What I like most is certainly a big sound on channel 2: Modern.
-The average value for money is all the same. On one side was a very good amp, another € 1,800 on average (I paid € 1664) is quite expensive, and I think we're paying 10% for the brand.
-I think with experience I would do this choice. I'm not disappointed.
