UTILIZATION

The rglages ragissent are easy and any flick. Aisment found a good sound without taking the head. The sound can be either hot or aggressive. The power is announced at the rendezvous (the other musicians can confirm it ;-)) and is quite sufficient if there is no opportunity to the facade. A system LED turns on, no pop is heard (500W pop, parting the baffles). The fan is a bit noisy if we play I got low (but its not what Quon asked) 2 speed fan would not t dsagrable. The manual is a good introduction Contents but nothing beats the cabbage leaves.

SOUNDS

This amp is in the clear sound, it is difficult tural davoir a saturation, a crunch at the most. If I want a low-saturated, then I go through an effect.
Lgaliseur and contours are REALLY effective trs. It is known as the round and get a hot quune his incisive.
The lamp and the transistors are complementary and provide a key to his diffrent privilgie if one or the other. The compressor fills his office, knows how quiet and is easy enough for easily adjustable grate.
It is sometimes a lack of stability in lightweight lamp (lightweight crachouillements) I do not know if it's an isolated problem or not, all this is that nanmoins lg rately audible pause for a pint. EDIT: That's the lamp that is to question and not the amp. The lamp becomes old, it must be changed and everything returns to normal.
I plug a Cort Artisan A5 a cot and a Hartke 4.5XL other and saw the sonic palette of bte always found the sound for. (Sometimes with a saturation effect for)
Because of the equalizer dbrayable can switch between the other aisment.

OVERALL OPINION

I use the amp for 6 months
Power to the appointment.
Effective.
No saturation. (Positive or ngatif choice. Personally, I will appreciate the possibility of saturating)
Finish strong and prsentable in his box, there is possibility to add an effect rack.
Jacht again this amp (550 occasion almost new (2 weeks), the original price of 3500) if the question arose.
