Value For Money : Excellent
Hybrid amplifier, ie the pre-amp and tube power amp is solid state.
100W: I never rises to more than one-half either in concert or in repeats or outdoors ..
HP 12 "Celetti
3 channels: 1 clean, 2 disto: OD1 and OD2 (a more full bodied than the other).
1 input jack for the guitar,
An effects loop,
An output side (to dub the amp no mic),
1 output for a second chamber,
1 reverb resort
a footswicth

I do not put 10 in that the output for a transplant of breath and can not be used (be it somewhat as mine to show)

UTILIZATION

I use it in my room, and repeat with a group of pop / rock.

It's very simple to use. One branch, there is an equalizer in the neutral (middle) and it sounds. There is no need to understand manual with two buttons.
No need to take the lead for the settings, just a little test by changing the EQ and reverb.

There is only one EQ for disodium 2.

SOUNDS

Perfect for rock, pop, blues (its hot enough).
Ephiphone I have a Les Paul Custom.
I never get too much gain, matter of taste.
I like the bass up on the clean channel when I fall on the canals of distos.
For a more retro I put the outline on the 3-OD2.
For a more funk and slamming into just clean up the treble and midrange and bass kiss (TIMPs careful!)

The sound is very good for an amp of this price range. I had the opportunity to test an all-tube Marshall ... they really are better but more expensive too!

If you want to take a less powerful, remember that the size of HP is very important. In fact a 12 "is the minimum if you want good sound.

OVERALL OPINION

This is my first amp for 6 years! Already.
This is a great amp, I much prefer this series to the news of Marshall where he felt compelled to put built-in effects (big mistake!).
With this amp you can go to concerts unscrupulous it is perfectly built for ca.
Excellent value! It is also a value: if you purchase it will not lose value.
It was the best selling amp (it is no longer produced, sniff) and we understand why: cheap and great.

If I redeem myself Devaya a little amp that I will be an all-tube, but I am richer than when I bought it! In any case I feel no need to change.

It is a hybrid of the last void and is a good reason to buy it! For what it's all integrated zero: one does not choose its sound (different brands ...) and it's too sythétique. At least this amp it has a soul!
