SOUNDS

My config is as follows: SP77, Gmajor TC electronics, 20/20 and Marshall 1922 cabinet of the same brand. I use either a 2 or a Musicman LUKE Peavey Wolfgang.
The clean sound is pretty thin and critallin, trs good like that. the switch is brigth trs effective damage that the channel is not only saturated long ... The crunch channel lgrement from the middle of its travel.
The Distortion channel sounds natural trs, trs "lamp". Nothing do with preamps that derive their saturation diodes or other signal-warming and with two tubes. Here the dynamics are standard and the grain very very precise. The slightest mistake is transcribed. The SP77 works very well with the 20/20. I plugged in a Mesa Boogie 50/50 and your exact n'tait no better, even worse. The sound is very equilibrated. The rglage of mdiums is very effective, you can easily dig the sound (unlike boogies). As a result, all styles are available: the Blues to metal. The mine saturates quite as much as the ADA MP2 I owned before the blast in less grain and more natural to feel the high end. The fact that the sound is slightly hyper precise believe a lack of gain but it's not my opinion ... well for a little trash to him connect a guitar made for a. .. Van halen an example ...
As against the treble is quite fickle, they can be very desageables and make the sound very aggressive, has depended on the day. So do not hesitate readjusted the treble and presence on the power amp to find the sound.
on the other hand I think this preamp lacks a bit thick when playing in the treble.
Musicman has the same one she's fairly accurate I personally prefer to play with my Van Halen seemed to compensate for the lack of thickness in the acute and allowing an easier game.
The sound is better when the rack is plugged into a Marshall 4 * 12 or in my Trace Elliot 4 * 12 for example. I do not even speak the Soldano and other Boogies ... we should try.

OVERALL OPINION

I possess over the past ten years, perhaps longer. I alternate between different moods depending on the amp (Mesa Boogie, Trace Elliot Speed ​​Twin). It is a low-end preamp that has great value qualitprix. The type of preamp you buy while waiting to pay the gene must X88R or CAE 3 + Se ...
In this price range, it does not conccurents.
