UTILIZATION

Very simple: It turns and left a few minutes standby time of heating lamps.
It does not take long to find her interesting.
The clean channel is good without being transcendent, it is not the quality of a Fender but it is still acceptable.
The Crunch channel is a misnomer I find ... The saturation comes quickly (to ask the utility of an additional channel).
This is not a criticism, far from it, but if I seek a light crunch, I'll get a better connecting a pedal input.
The Ultra channel is extreme, while being accurate for the little that rule well (and if the upstream stuff below).
A breath is present (what tube amp does not blow you increase the gain?) But is not a problem more than that: a little noise gate and it's ancient history.
The manual is basic: it explains what a particular knobs, a particular switch, says the guidelines on safety and incorporates a simplified
the signal path in the entire head.

SOUNDS

I mainly play metal in the broadest sense, my influences are: Chimaira, Machine Head, Dream Theater, Gojira or Satriani. However, it can provide in Blues and Jazz (as long as the guitar is good too)
I am able easily to find a sound that suits me only with the head (no externality) plugged into a 5150 4x12 Slant.
It is a 120W lamp, so you must push for it to have a good sound reproduction ... Here, it can become a problem because the sound is very ... VERY STRONG! I'm apart is it can be annoying to play such a volume.
To remedy this, I opted for the 4 cable method with a Boss GT-6 which allows me to use the distortion of my pre-amp and turn down the volume output of the GT-6 while pushing the Triple XXX ... I draw very well in this way, but I still lose the dynamics of the cabinet ...
And with 4 cables method I can use a clear WG-6 instead of the clean channel of the head.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost a month and I am very happy. The price / quality ratio is very good.
While purchasing, I also eyeing a 5150 (and 5150 II) and despite my musical references (Machine Head and Chimaira mainly use 5150), I preferred the latter TRIPLE XXX typed as less noise. This is what I found best for my budget (~ € 2000 + head baffle OCCAZ).
Later, I intend to equip it with EL34 in place of 6L6GC original story to try both config '.
I think the plate on the front is slightly ugly: silhouettes of girls with a big XXX in the middle, I think it looks a little prole, but hey, it makes up much of the sound.
I think I would do this choice without any problems with eyes closed (not to see the plate).
