«  A sacred beast that head! »

Everything has been said before at this level.

UTILIZATION

Use could not be more simple: a rhythm channel and a lead channel, a general equation, a resonance knob and a knob presence, nothing more.
All middle, the jack plugged into the guitar and made it blow up the watts.
Settings can be fine depending on Bafle partner (the person who had a Bafle orange 4x12 and a marshall 412a, I can say that).
So very easy to use

SOUNDS

Head of a madman metalheads. Whether you're a metal undue heavt or black, this amp regia harmonics and sounds very fat and severe (with good accuracy in the treble).
I played in a group of heavy-rock, and personally I play a lot of metal in both cases the head sent the right thing.
I tested with a ltd viper 1000 and a fender james root, the results are different (obviously) but the metal grain remains the same and gives pleasure to play it.

I want to make a small apartment on the clean: it's not OK to clean a fender, ok this is not one to clean vox, but with a guitar that gives a well rounded, I swear that the clean is Audible (personally I preferred the other guitarist had a gibson on a JVM 410H!)

OVERALL OPINION

I used it 4 months (unfortunately).
Frankly I sold it against the heart, no longer group and therefore more useful, I decided to sell it to buy an amp less expensive and less powerful (to play at home).
This is an amp that level quality / price surpasses many others.
