Let's go, copy / paste ...
All-tube amp:
4 * 12AX7-pramp
Amp-2 * EL34
-50 W
-2 Inputs (high and low)
Speaker outputs, 4 and 8 ohms
9-pin plug-pr the footswitch (supplied)
-Loop effects
-2 Channels (clean and lead) with a boost on the clean (= crunch) and two spars to lead gains
- 2 volumes + qua + spares lead presence
Master-section: volume and reverb
Note that the rverbe is really shit. that of my bandit 112 sound 10 times better ...
UTILIZATION
The config is simple but rglages priori can take s'avrer head because of the default principal of this amp: the clean channel trs crunch quickly. Must be compensated between the master gnral, the level of the canal and the volume of the guitar. Are there simpler but you get there. For me it is not default rdhibitoire precisely because I find that the crunch channel trs clean enjoyable.
Trs a good point for this amp is the prsence of 2 gain knobs on the lead channel DIFFERENT. So-called grain is not the same I only see little diffrence trs. Cons can be obtained by two distinct levels of saturation on this channel and it is very practical.
Other trs good is the switch and provided with a cable is more than 6 m.
Getting a good sound dpend normemnt of hp are below. On a 4 * 12 marshall low end (but even when marshall), the sound is trsdcevant: not enough reserve of power and gain limit for the trash. As against a 4 * 12 warp7 (rock celestion driver Jr) apprci yet little, unjustly and that trs is clearly playing in another court. The sound is extremely powerful and loaded with bass. Huge.
I then tried the head on a 4 * 12 marshall jcm 900, and the sound, though correct, never happens at the HP Hughes & Kettner.
Résumé to obtain a good sound because it can s'avrer dlicate head amp needs a minimum hp suited the situation if it does not distance. ..
- The manual is clear and sufficient? its emptiness my perplexing. borders on foutage of mouth. OK it's not high end but even when this level was better not at all.
SOUNDS
I play mtalcore (Unearth, Arkangel, Heaven Shall Burn) and post ambient HC (Isis, Cult Of Luna, amen ra) and this amp should rev up the situation. Attention, even a coupled ltd mh400 WITH EMG active pickups, the reserve of gain can s'avrer a bit tight for the most demanding, but even when there is enough for me .
I love the sound obtained by saturating the clean channel. The grain of the saturation suits me but is so subjective that I do not m'tendrai. I would describe as "neutral" in the sense that the prsence important mediums allows this amp to play in all styles of music saturated. However, the saturation does not remain as prcise a high-end amp.
OVERALL OPINION
J'apprcie the fact that this amp is a 2 channel that conceals a 4 channels that the gr prsence of clean boost and gains two spars. As a saturated palette of sounds can be obtained fairly large (like a clean, crunch and a saturated two most important). And the footswitch is provided, which Confre for once a clear advantage in favor of this amp compared to the Peavey ValveKing. For a jou rcemment 5150, I think the randall plutt fared well. There is still a notch below both the grain of the 5150 is powerful and prcis but the ratio quality-price is most excellent.
And finally, yes I do it again this choice.
rating 8 / 10 because there are far better Obviously amps but the price is not the same.
