UTILIZATION

Simple, yes and no;)
- Yes if you look at the configuration of the amplifier with respect to these possibilities. In fact, there are no knobs so it is rather the interaction of all the settings that is well thought out and who can have a huge choice of sound.
- Not if you just want to turn the amp for a good sound. In fact, the versatility of the amp that you just make choices for certain inappropriate adjustments style zik.


SOUNDS

Yes it is suitable for all styles! and this is his forte, metal, rock, punk, blues, jazz, reggae, drone;) And this is clearly what drives the price and I think the value of this amp, besides finishing and materials. For my part I play prog metal band, and also a little stoner and jazz for fun

OVERALL OPINION

After a year of use, I must say that this amp is a must, whatever the style of music, he really respects the sound of your instrument, and delivers excellent sound in all styles. However, it takes time and patience to understand and optimize the settings in this amp!
For it is also possible to have his plea, see wrong with the RK if we did anything like settings. For example, I remember being very disappointed when I first use, by channel 4, I was expecting to have a sound insane and there that slab, a fat slobbering not incisive ... Then we understand that the master channel is not a simple volume knob! since it completely determines the nature of sound, (I for one council to put at least 12 on channels 3 and 4). Similarly, the choice of lamps is crucial (eg, for the rhythmic metal pair of 6L6 + diodes is clearly the best choice), ditto for the presence button that can smear the sound in some registry etc.. Brief an amp that is well worth a maximum score, as long as one is a bit patient with the settings. With the experience I would say that it is ultimately simple and very well thought out in its configuration, if one evaluates the potential of the beast
