UTILIZATION

I use this amp only at home (for now) so I'm not bothered by not being able to clean switcher crunch or to OD1 OD2. Besides, I have no footswitch. However, he could have put a 3-way footswitch (channel / mode / Chorus).

For the record, the guy who gave me my first yard scraper 14-15 years ago used this amp I thought was a "powerhouse" ...



SOUNDS

I've played with my SG and my Les Paul, and bin it blew me away the devil.
Besides, I'm not at all agree with the previous opinion (maybe the model he has tried messing) the OD1 is perfect bright / crunch to the guitar volume pot and OD2 to the crunch / big overdrive / distortion at tjs knob.

Personally I do not use the OD1, I do everything on OD2, which has more body. I find this amp sounds much better than the VS65R of my youth (if I had known). After it is no exaggeration is not the whole dynamics of a lamp but it is really very good with excellent spatial sound with 2 speakers and more when it starts the chorus.

Details:
The clean channel of my copy does not work.
My impressions are given for volume rather low.


OVERALL OPINION

It is perfect for the fact that I use CAD at home not strong.

I recommend it to anyone looking for an amp and house models who hesitate between type Micro-cube MG2FX (the little I know of no vox). To have these little amps at home, there's no picture.

I play on a Marshall Vintage / Modern 2266h on 4 / 12 Marshall (V30 + G12T75)
I played on JCM 800, JCM 2000, Peavey Classic Rack PA 50/50 + Tubefex, Mesa Dual Rectifier JMP-1 + PA Peavey, Mesa 395 + PA rack Triaxis simulclass; Engl Screamer 50.

The value for money of mine is incredible, say up to 150 € it is worth the cost. At this price, it must be in perfect working condition especially the knobs.
