Poweramp: 4x 50Watt 6V6 electro harmonix
Preamp: 4x 12AX7
reverb and effects loop: 2 x 12AT7
2 footswich taken, two 8 ohm outputs, a 16 ohm output, effects loop
voltage selection switch on lights amplifier (output damping)
the settings are very intuitive the clean really does not need adjusting middle
everything is perfect except that there is no master volume so that each time you work at home or repeat or concert we have to adjust the volume of two channels at a time, one area shade. I put 9 because nothing is perfect and because of the master volume

UTILIZATION

Same problem with the master volume but in fact we can do without the beast is soon forgotten.

the setting is very easy it's almost plug and play really well to equalize réagisent to all.

the manual must be read to the impedances of speakers careful if you connect two 8 ohm speakers it hurts it will work into 4 ohms and it can not.
I put 9 because it is really intuitive, no need to widen the head the sound is very good fast

SOUNDS

Then there amazed the way, this amp has a phenomenal dynamic, the clean attack following how the ropes how to set the volume of the guitar that you change all the sound, it is sometimes SOMETIMES slamming hot desire, an attack egg and very musical.
boosted channel is very versatile it is even better than the dynamic level clean, bold and sharp, with its dose of aggression, and the grain really personal.
the reverb is one of the best I tested.
I even plugged my acoustic with a seymour duncan woody above connected with the clean boost is very hot singing treble pa tro screaming, and then the saturation is the slap.
with my telecaster and my les paul is that of happiness.
a yes also for those so inclined the head accepts the low frequency, my yamaha is granted to drop in if I clean bass crazy and it does not bleed it is rather a headbutt and then saturated c ' nothing is like drooling is just everything you need where you need the grain is preserved and everything is saturated there's no exception.
the gain can go far but to the hxc metal grind or otherwise is not too much you need the grain is too compressed for it, but everything else the same funk this amp is really good deal.
50 watts is enough really looks like someone I know better now is to have a 50 watt head that sounds good rather than a 100 watt drool all over, particularly which is faster at its max so little fun with lights that saturate. in repeats I set to 10 h for 2 channels and yet I have a bassist and a drummer who are real lumberjacks.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for ..... yesterday so I know it's not a lot already plugged into a 4x12 repeated marshall it sounds great (I await my baffles our two it will hurt I think) for the time I plug it on my hp and low avt150 HP saw the advice I would give later anyway.
value for money I say yes because I bought it in Germany on music. .... Uktiv was € 1400 and yes it is at that price, by good against what is stupid is that for this amp requires 2 footswich and it would still have been nice to have them with 40 as € the beast it hurts but they are so beautiful and kitsch (matte white).
I would do without hesitation that choice

update of the notice date 05/11/06:
I received my two baffles OUR few months ago, the sound I taped last night in a bar together, everybody loved the sound of the amp the sound quality of the group has increased dramatically. gratteu the group that we play after play on the amp it became insane his guitar gave rise emg sound really metal at the head while my guitars are rather a very big crunch. in fact I'm going to 10 because it is the pantheon is the receiver of a lifetime. its grain is madness. for those who are put off by 50 Watt I tell them just to have 100 watt is like having a Ferrari on the device is just back from vacation to see it written like wearing hello, the amplifier was set to 2-3 pfff! the crazy fun and volume, it is still too powerful. and the reverb is really beautiful even more.
