UTILIZATION

Using ultra simple, or even too much! Is lit, allowed to warm, the branch, and it sounds live!
I did not have a manual (purchased used).
Please note that head is heavy and quite bulky ...

SOUNDS

It is perfect for my style (Black, death, heavy), I play an Ibanez with EMG Active mounted.

Its clean: The problem is that you can not really have a nice, if you put in a presence and trebles thoroughly. It did not really heat, it is really to help out. As against the Crunch switch direct AC sends most is Kazys the same sound as the lead channel and it is exploitable.

in the final clean is usable when you love the clean crunch that has some kind of Arch Enemy.

Lead her: it's more kidding Trendy in normal gain, the gain to 7, resonance and presence of 5, bass and treble to 6, has 3 middle, ca sends severe, the grain is, it's all lights, great! attention this amp is very heavy in medium, for lovers of big sound dug I suggest you add an equalizer in the effects loop.

High gain came in, it's too much gain! y'en everywhere, ca feedback, it's really for passive guitars!

I put 8 for the lead sound, shame about the clean does not follow!

Warning: Equalization passive! ca not really change the sound even if you turn it up! mesa is not!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 1 month. I really like the lead channel, but I use it with an equalizer in the effects loop. I try the dual rectification, that's about the same sound, a little dirty, but dirty in a good way.
is very suitable for metals!
The value for money is good I got it for € 770!
With experience, I probably would do this choice, although I regret that the clean is not up to the lead ...
