Combo transistor with prampli lamp.
100W
Connection of faade: Input, period
On the back: Headphones, 2nd HP, effects loop, line out and footswitch.
3 channels: clear distortion crunch. Rglage EQ spar light / saturation, also spare rverb, adjustable contour on the distortion, very practical.
Spar volume for each channel but no master! What ide! Switch 'power dimension' which is supposed to ensure good record-low volume loadings. There's no saying it's better when you play hard

UTILIZATION

Trs simple, there's no rglages 50 per channel. on the other hand, it's hard to spend the crunch distortion, are too Different.
The sound is OK, even good plutt. Certainly it's not a marshall head with 6 lamps but plutt sounds good. The crunch has really a sound trs SPECIFICATIONS, although gaul for Deutsche rhythm, ideal for a power trio. The distortion is distortion bte: effective, not too runny, and you get to play with rglage contour. The Eq is correct without being hyper monstrous.
The clean sound is arbitrary. With proper warm guitar well, you can almost get a jazz sound, but must not ask too much either.
The biggest concern I had was adjust the levels between the three channels as there is no master volume, Gnant really!

SOUNDS

Amp rock and ... rock only! We could tease mtal pushed into the channel distortion but it's not his best area. For the rest, no, must not count on, the sound is clear enough to tickle the fun really DIFFERENT styles (funk, reggae).
For the rock effective, it is more than enough nanmoins. I never addition of distortion pedals to it, the rverb intgre is sufficient. With a good Les Paul, a sound not too bad. It's fat but can be slammed with a fender well RULES.
For my style, has spent itself, but it's not the amp for Everyone.

OVERALL OPINION

It must be 7 or 8 years that I have, I just change the lamp by Sovtek, has restored a youthful look a lil it more s'avre screaming now.
What I like about this amp is that it allows me to play at home with his dcent. I bought a big nampli (KH100 (https://fr.audiofanzine.com/produits/avis/index% 2Cidproduit 2C38346.html%)) which I am using for the concerts and this one helps me to extra now. Nanmoins, the VS100 has served me for years Previous, both in concert and RPET. For concerts it's a fair bit, it must be admitted.
I use it also when I record at home with the computer through the exit 'line out'. As a pramp I can push out and not too bad sound level. Certainly, a is not my Rivera with a good micro but adpanne well.

The report quality price good trs silent era (3150 FF if I remember correctly, late 1997). Now may be that I would opt more for a Peavey Classic 30, though, to play at home, it ComenC dj well bellow the rogue.
So for me it's an extra amp, good for rock only. To consider the purchase.
