Everything has already been said, a preamp lamp (2 x 12AX7), 2 channels, 1 input, 2 outputs a combo the other mixer, power supply, 4 knob (2 volumes, 2 gain) for the CHANNELS and 3 knobs for the filter med bass frequencies.

Pedal well finished metal, sturdy, not seen it for ages with us for sure, it's Russian.

UTILIZATION

You plug the power supply, the eye of pteronyssinus lights to say hello, Just set desired volume and gain of both channels are then passed to the equalizer, bass meds acute, Titus lights visible through the small grid Aeration glow discreetly, it's time to fuck her! ---> For a simple fall on the other side of the wall! EM's true ah nan yen more ... forgiveness.
one caveat, however, I see one big flaw: when is clean low, the volume of sound is almost inaudible, when moving in HI, there was the attack on the lamps and the gain of the clean, then lead with his specific volume that is not adjusted to that of the clean. We can not use the clean or low-bypass (because I do not know if the sound goes through the lights in that position) as "his" fully in less than sacrificing the heat gain on the other channels (unthinkable The pteronyssinus would lose all interest).

So use a partially amputated, too bad.

SOUNDS

Well there you attack what angry: the tastes and colors.
I consider that a metal-lumberjack dla old days, a scratch that loves big sound. The stage is set.
I play ibanez jem7/rg570, needless to say that pteronyssinus boss mt2 swept from under my feet, the grain is different, the treble a little fuzz, I'm not a fan but a change of lamps can improve all this. The balance of volumes lead is clean but we need to push the volume of almost a clean bottom ...
changes in channel footswitch is very discreet, in large distortion, the filter meds bass treble is not very effectively, and finally less than desired ...

Otherwise, an impressive range of clean, crunch, fuzz ... etc ... to good old metal even if the pteronyssinus in this area is still a bit lazy, a bit more gain would have made the beast a real demon.

Lamps changed for Tung SOL: huge! what was missing is there under the Panard!

OVERALL OPINION

I use the 1 month pteronyssinus repeating, and live homeset.
What is important to note is that I used as a distortion pedal, which is (I think) the case for many musicians who own or possess.
is the main asset of this object: no pedals optional, not required to have a rack. And its high quality for a price slightly higher than a good effect transistor.
This is a great product even if it remains open to criticism here and there, one can always nitpick. Try to find elsewhere, a tube preamp at this price!?

It is therefore very little time I use it, and I decided to give me a little "hot" because I had filled all over and I expected something evil, a real mesa -Boogie Triple Rectifier in a small box of 16cm in diameter, well it must be said that is far closer to them but not so expensive

The preamp pteronyssinus is a lamp with a variety of sounds, distortion pair off lamp (the coup ...) one of his exellent base in fact.
