UTILIZATION

Ultra simple setup: a single channel, it's plug and play: you plug it sounds.

SOUNDS

The clean sound is not his specialty, although it may have its charm he will never have enough power to play in groups.

It quickly crunch in the first third of the race gain at 12 is already in sounds so muscular stoner past 13h one enters the large saturation, always with a typical grain: very very biting midrange and bass fuzz .

I use a dinky Jacskon DK2M and Ibanez Darkstone, and I still get very easily what I want:
crunchy blues (awesome single microphone), the mad and generous saturation through the muscular rock, punk or stoner.

I have not tried a lot of pedals (chorus boss, Blackstar HT Dist, Lemon Squeeze Modtone) but it is always passed without problems, the wheat from the amp to the air to accept the pedals live. As against the effects loop seems a tad messy, one wonders what brings the lamp by comparing with the effects loop of a Peavey Classic 30 and even a Peavey Bandit 112.

The EQ does a very good job especially in the midrange knob is very progressive and affects damn about the general color of his: to navigate between the U.S. (scooped mids) and English (mediums background) very easily with the always personality and quite dynamic.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 months now, on a 4X12 cab Hughes and Kettner Vintage series.

The -
Its not really usable clean
Mono channel
Questionable effect loop?

The +
The format can be lugging around with the bag comes with.
Power level is terrible, you can rub any drummer. For clubs it goes to the big plate anyway will put a microphone in front.
At the sound can tackle any style of rock / metal and even blues or funk still crunchy with lots of character and grain, so try before you buy because you either fall in love or hate you.

For the price / quality ratio I see in the long term, it is made in China so there's always a little apprehension in any case I do it again this choice without hesitation, because his level and look and it has to face.
