2.5-channel preamp tubes (4 tubes, which combine to create different levels of gain).

Many loops on the rear of the animal (but it is better to put a strap if you use them), and a footswitch to change channels (can not switch between channels without)

UTILIZATION

Nothing complicated, turn buttons, pulling on some buttons (push / pull for gain on the crunch and ultra channels or mediums to dig) .. It could not be easier!

A small problem, common to the equalization crunch and ultra channels. So we must make a compromise between the soloist and the rhythm and see the Lead as a booster for his solos rather than a separate channel.

SOUNDS

While there, it sends heavy! (Tested with lamps peavey original).

The crunch and lead channels have a huge headroom (there are too many, I never exceeded the 5 or 6 of 12). It sounds very like peavey saturation (cold, dry, and a little fuzzy), very close to 5150. In his lead, we arrive at a sound approach to the EVH without any worries with a scraper to humbuckers.

Be careful to have good microphones, microphones imprecise tend to drool and give a slurry foul.

I just find the treble a little too aggressive on this preamp, but it's still a good machine!

in clean, fine, I would say no more. This is a clear American style, very straight. I would say it's interesting for a metal.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this amp for 2 months. I bought it to complement my JMP1 to make me a versatile rack (JMP1 = big rock, RockMaster = metal), and it fulfills its role!

Attention, however, it is not a very versatile preamp, but it remains a very good unit, very rare and hard to find (again, with its qualities, it tends to sell readily used).

I had mine in perfect condition, hibernating in a homestudio for over 10 years.
