3 lamps preamps, four power tubes, I would say between 80 and 100W.
4 channels, very few adjustments: bass, trebble, presence, power and volume.
No real saturation channel, just a natural saturation of channels 3 and 4, sufficient for the blue.
very simple connections at the back, impedance switch, and 2 out 4 HP front panel inputs.
UTILIZATION
Nothing complicated in there, the lamps are heated few minutes and sends the sauce.
I still advise the channel 4 for versatility (the same setting 3 but a little more powerful).
Change lamps preamp slightly problematic (I had to completely disassemble the amp to access it properly) but for the defense of gentlemen I would say that I know little maintenance competition
SOUNDS
I for one love !!!!!
Channels 1 and 2 sound serious and fat, 3 and 4 are fairly neutral.
Sound hot, very naturel.Trés used depend on the material.
Let me explain, not tested with the top gear, the sound is not great.
In contrast with something correct the slap.
I use an Apex Co Nashville equipped with an EMG active Hammer Summer Series with Seymour Duncan, I go through a digitech RP7 and I can assure that the sound is really not bad.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 5 years now, bought a song to a friend.
It is certainly not the best, our days are made better, but it has a little something that I only use it !!!!!
It gives a little something special to her, a small grain "vingtandage".
I'm making the metal, though I have tried other tube amps, for the moment and certainly some time I had to use my MKII continurais
He has that unique that others do not.
I could see on some sites, the Argus was about 1000 euros. I would not make any comment on the price, I'll just say that if you have the opportunity to try, do it to give you an opinion. Because you are facing a rare beast, strong character.
Finally, and here I'm going a little wet, it changes the "bipbipbip" (so as not naming names) tube that is found too often in our reseller!!
