Modular All Tube amp.
1 12AX7 and four 6L6 power section and for the two lamps per module (3 modules in total over a range of fifteen to Randall and Egnater at 7 or 8 who invented this system for Randall)
100 w all lamps, MIDI, a master volume, a presence control (for high) and density (for the serious - in moderation with the model mounted 6L6 ...) plus an adjustable mix effect . At the rear, all that is possible, noon (earlier), effects loops serial and parallel output Hp, online and apparent bias adjustment and easy to change the lamps and only fissa!
Per module, Gain, 3-band EQ, master and a Bright switch (low gain more efficient, logical)
UTILIZATION
Rather simple, to save the channel noon, we choose the channel on the pedals (noon at once) and support for 3 seconds on the button channel selection and hop in the box!
If this is to explain the right way to put on and remove the modules, the manual is useless to me.
For sound, it's something else: I explain:
Given the difference between modules and settings Presence and Density, get a dial tone consistent between the different channels and not always super easy ... We must choose those modules ...
But the channel setting is childish.
SOUNDS
Basically, just choose the right preamp and power tubes and good ca rolls.
In fact, for a tube amp, it shows a huge neutrality for overdrive, crunch and distortion seems a little bland ... in fact, sounds clearer, it is a killing machine crows but I think it lacks character.
Some friends of mine think it's great, the sound is really neutral, not really colored by the power stage (but especially the pre-amp) and they love it.
I abuse it with a Tele and a PRS. Both are expressed independently is very clean (the advantage of tonal neutrality). In fact it is an ace of the volatility. With a change of modules is done in 10 seconds is a monster of modularity.
Edict of 17/09/06
in fact, I take back what I wrote level character ...
It is full of character, I was a victim of a faulty module that replaced me reveal the beast. The clean sound is always great and the distortion grows drool or slice according to taste, impeccable
OVERALL OPINION
I've had five months, acquired after many trials and much thought ...
Otherwise level money, it is well placed hyper (especially with grace and versatility ca ca connectivity accomplished), I'm a little on my end at the sound character, but it is mostly a matter of taste, because I ended paid by a Dual Rectifier (sound embodied the personality).
If you want your sound to your image, whether near or far from the clichés, this amp can do. and day, wherever you want another sound, he can always do it!
Very hard all that!
Edict of 17/09/06
Now that I have identified the concern, in fact, the amp is excellent, over his signature issue, because it is almost completely customizable, with appallingly Slamp modules and power. So, I made a doublet with the Mesa, so 6 sounds RRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRR!
