All Tube preamp, 2 channels with gain switch hi / low = 4 channels.
2 12AX7 tubes, effects loop, output level adjustable, two line outputs, 2 outputs to console, short of classic. Good point for the power amp built 1.5 w to play with headphones or stereo, and the output console.
UTILIZATION
Frankly not need a manual, we choose the channel you set the gain switch on high or low, turn the equal, theft and gain and that's good. Frankly there's one right away without hitting the menus or excessive flood of parameters. It's simple, it goes straight to the point: the sound!
SOUNDS
Its metal-oriented course. The light is not bad, but even with the "bright" engaged, it lacks brilliance. The crunch I have not tried too but it sounds honest. Of course it sends distos side. Compared to a Marshall, it has more gain, a more crude (we like it or not) wildest marked with a bump in the midrange. When you push the beast with a 2x50 tube, the sound is rich and round, but the bass a little lacking, unfortunately. As against the sound is very good, is accurate for screaming solos and not at all like too much amp transistor.
I put 9 because it's still very good and considering the price .....
OVERALL OPINION
Very good amp in the end, with a slight lack of bass (only on the channel distortion, however), but very versatile metal oriented. Only one real complaint: no preamp noon, or so you have to buy the switch Z-11 (over a foot noon), and found to OCCAZ nine worth € 250 in Germany!
Otherwise it's all good, considering the great price of the machine (approx € 550 new at our Teutonic friends).
Unfortunately this amp lack of competition in its niche. Apart from the boogie studio pre or Rocktron Pirahna, I see not with what we might compare in this price range. Purchased last year in Germany I intend to part with it to move to a pre Boogie formula.
