Amp mixed with lamp
Modeling amp with a small lamp to warm the sound 0w to 60w
99 presets, 33 amp simulations,
multi effects, saturation, octave, delay
3 reverb (hall, spring, room)
a power control
frequency equalizer,
gain control, output adjustment and especially a volume knob that allows you to play without waking the children but enjoying the Hp 10 "and these capabilities.
A little swagger but it takes all tastes.

UTILIZATION

That said, a few minutes are necessary for proper grip and a few days to really take advantage of all possibility of the amp.
A little more use of pedal footswitch VFS5 for choosing 8 settings made by our hands.
The manual is clear and should be read to truly enjoy the possibilities of the amp presets are provided amply for failing to plug the guitar.

SOUNDS

The sound is good, even surprising. The advantage of a real volume knob that allows you to play "not safe" keeping the gain.
For my part I play StartoCatser Fender Texas Special pickups with. It gives good. It retains the identity Fender long as you do not go on the high gain presets.
I also play with Martins folk cutaway with a Fishman. Acoustic presets are round and full but you have to play on the reverb and the knobs to have a "wet" sound so to speak and relatively deep.
Finally I also play on Ibanez AFJ85-VSB and there, I must say that it is happiness. Especially emulation AC15 or AC30.

I use little effect pedals. I dropped the pedal to sound, it was not justified to keep it. For Fender, I play is blues and there is a very interesting preset, and Ibanez, no effect pedal that is not justified for what I do.

In conclusion, the sound is really good and respects the instruments. However, a slight hum may be heard when the master is pushed.
This is an amp that needs to speak as he should not be stuck in a wall corner otherwise an echo may occur.
Finally, a power which I was not aware of the purchase and, I say thank you to output volume knob that is just essential for this type of amp.

The amp that is priced where it is, the sound is wonderful.

OVERALL OPINION

I now use it for a little over a year.
Advised by my dealer, I left a 30 w Fender Reverb Vox. I do not regret it.
I also tested other amp therefore more like a 40 W Orange and a nice round Roland. But it is the only one that allowed me to play all my guitars with a single amp.
Clearly no regret. Even if I had more means to put in an amp, I'm not sure as I have bought another. Especially since I'm not a buff effects pedals. Also, I found a different sound without spending hours in the settings.
Finally, the sound is constant, so no adjustment again when we go to a friend or when you make a beef. It is light, handy and robust.
To have swarmed the Marshall 100W double head I'm glad to have this nice little cube, aesthetics and dynamic (and yes it sends heavy) to move.

If I had to do ... I'm ready to buy a second.
