UTILIZATION
Setup is simple: if you're used the mesa / boogie!
makes this amp a logic follows him: rglages conoivent do not like such a marshall. gnral it is explained in the instructions or by a seller account - rare these days!
it is advisable to proceed as follows: starting with the gain, then continue with the treble, midrange and adjust the presence and eventually the bass. rglage each affects the other, then head breaks hello! to beginners! APRS people come here and realize the versatility of the amp.
good to know: prsence ranges overlap patterns vintage / modern: ie that the maximum prsence of vintage fashion is the minimum of modern prsence mode. thereby changing the equalization carrment, so there's really what to do: 3 channels, 8 modes! the exploded!
SOUNDS
I use it with a Vigier Excalibur Special (custom Seymour Duncan pickups and fixed bridge). no (s) effect (s). a 4X12 pan baffle correct standard time.
The sounds are magical
the cleans spotless. Criticize the clean sounds of Rectifiers ok, but must still watch that branch scratches on it: a scratch on trash will not have a super clean rendering. But with single coil pickups and split it ... beautiful! His round, warm, slamming, is not equilibrated Fender is sr is the mesa ... and that the trs good!
Crunches are angry, mlancoliques, "liquid" or "dry", there is a choice, all is not lost in all the possibilities ... intermdiaires and there! nothing wrong, the crunches are good trs.
