Hi, here is the Soldano sp 77, fitted with 4 12AX7 in my case.
it has two channels:
- Clean with a bright switch and a gain control, bass, mid, high and output level.
- A saturated with an adjustment of gain, bass, mid, high and output level.

Behind we find a simple example with an input jack for the footswitch and an output jack for the power amp.

Very simple, it is impossible not to understand or connect the cable, even for a beginner.

UTILIZATION

Then I would say good and bad. Although for ease of use and not well for the lack of configuration possibilities as stereo effects loop, but ... it's old and it sounds.
Oh it sounds! three settings per channel, it's super simple. found quickly even if its sound like any amp you still have to spend a little time to paufiner.
If we leave too low do not worry! the bright switch that will open the sound without the EQ button too.

For my part I had in hand so I have no manual and I do not really see its usefulness except to change the lamps.

SOUNDS

While the level I was on the cl! So I would first like to say that this preamp with plenty of gain for a lot of style, I play something that looks like a mixture of punk, neo-metal and rock and it goes great ... with the gain just over half. I think you have a guitar that sends most if we want to gain with the preamp (I have a Stratocaster with a Seymour Duncan SH-8 invador). I confess that I also played with a mesa 50/50 Poweramp and 4 * 12 cabinet mesa which helps correct for this style.
For the clean sound I use less, I find it very warm and round but then again my guitar a lot of bass so it should not hurt to change the basic sound.

I am very happy and more than enough to gain level for saturated and clean me going more than well for my use.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few weeks and I am very happy. It is of course not my first amp so I have some lights down. I played on Laney VC 50 (mine), Rivera Knucklehead 50R (a friend who lent me three weeks), Laney TT50H (former guitarist) and Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier (new guitarist).
All that to say that this amp seems very versatile than some want to say it and manufacturing simplicity is a sign of reliability. In all cases it is a good deal (except perhaps for the Korn or shred).
Finally, as it is not equipped to gain the most, he requested a guitar sound that goes with that search, no metal with a layer of jazz ...
