- All Tube Amp (three 12AX7 and four 6L6)
- 100 Watts RMS indicated (users have measured up to 125W without damage).
- High input and low input, 3 outputs, respectively, for a firm of 4, 8 or 16 Ohms.
- Parametric equalization of low, mid, treble, and presence, + master volume and gain.
- No effect (or even effects loop).
UTILIZATION
This amp is very simple to use, the settings are very intuitive as there is only 6 knobs in all, one may complain that these knobs can not change quite radically the sound of the amp apart in the acute but have we really need?!, the amp already sounds great with all knobs at noon.
It is unfortunate that the amp is not equipped with an effects loop, but if the gain is not very high we can make just about any direct effect on the facade.
The amp also has an output line out but I have not tried it yet, (I'm afraid to burn something with ..)
VERY IMPORTANT: to preserve the life of your lamps check before turning the amp on the second switch is in STANDBY, the receiver must absolutely stay a while in standby to heat (up to 30 seconds) that n is heated after that you can play with.
this amp is built like a tank, it is very solid, well protected against noise and dust, the only downside is on the manufacture switches and input jack PLASTIC! the manufacturer must surely would have bitten your fingers because it is the only problem with this amp, but the switches are not chocolate anyway, you just do a little attention.
SOUNDS
We should not delude ourselves The Mig-100 amp is a rock and hard rock (with a distortion pedal can be made of metal with no problem), it does one thing and he does very well, not to hide this amp is actually a perfect clone of the Marshall JCM800 2203 edition, so it's no surprise that it sounds almost exactly like this beast, I say almost because instead of the Sovtek EL84 Marshall has lights puissace type 6L6 (like you see on Fenders and Mesa / Boogie among others), Sovtek is the world leader in vacuum tubes, I am not in position to challenge their choice of technology, malmsteen but said if it sounds good then it is good.
I would just say that I checked myself in the diagrams of Sovtek and marshall and actually it's the same circuit, so it's not a rumor or a hoax that I found on the Internet.
I tried this amp with an Ibanez RG, with applause and with a homemade guitar and it sounds bold, strong and precise, even at high gain, it is very suitable to my style of play (shred, neoclassical, .. . etc).
originally had this amp stack in half with a 4x12 cabinet with two Celestion and Eminent two, but as I had occasion I have never tried this cabinet, but I think the best thing would be to marry a firm based celestion (greenbacks, G12H, Vintage A30, etc. ...) after all it is a Marshall and this is what Marshall chose his amps.
OVERALL OPINION
I use this amp for a few weeks only and I am very very happy I had a lot of interesting proposals to sell it but I refused because it really is the amp I was looking to have, set apart sound qualities of this head is very strong and it is a very considerable avatage because it can grow more easily in your 4x12 distortion mechanical or even comfortably use a full stack configuration with two firm (and I want to do), the total power of 380 Watts of power is! is supposed to kill all the other heads of this range.
Before I played this amp will acquire a modeling amp like Roland Cube, but I also tried Marshalls and Fenders .., the head seems to have something special, it has the character and strong and we quickly fell in love.
