The Attax 80 amp is a transistor that has an output of 100 watts as its sound does not indicate.
Connection intput faade in front, effects loop send / return, and Hp rec-out into 16 or 8 ohms.
A clean channel with its own legalization (clean volume, bass / mid / TREB)
A lead channel with its own legalization + boost function (gain, bass / mid / TREB, lead master)
1 gnrale legalization with a master and were desirous rverb common to two channels
footswithxh optional (regrettable)

UTILIZATION

Extremely simple setup, 2 channels, that you ask for.
The original sounds obtained may agree to a budding guitarist dpart, but once we knocked a lot, we realize that this amp lacks a bit of PCHE, nothing to correct this like a little treble boost that allows clear channel dj cruncher and saturated channel to provide the saturation crmeuses Brian May.
Other inconvnient, a breath as you push the volume or earnings (dj Open quarter it looks like a gas factory)
Sounds cleans are not the strong point of the Attax 80, they remain in the middle of what was proposed in the German mark this era as amplifier transistors. Since H & K has come a long way.
No manual included, so I can not say anything about this

SOUNDS

It is currently the only amp I have so I do not have much choice, I'm actually an absolute fan of amp lamps (type or Hotrod AC30). For a transistor amp when it comes out pretty even, once his assistant a few good pedals.
We can not say that the crystal is specially in terms of its sound with respect to the crunch and distos it will delight fans of blues, rock and even mtal (but hey it must be the inflate with MT-2, or a Fulldrive)
I can not say I'm enchanted by the sounds original Currently, besides the rverbe is not really effective. My next amp will be an all-tube is sr.

OVERALL OPINION

I have over 10 years, it is what I do for home, but once you rev ​​it shows pushes its limits, the sounds are pretty rough even if your shovel n does not ensure.
Currently, if j'tais beginners, I will inquire normment before you buy (but then it is no longer fabriqud'autant more than the current bulbs and hybrid amplifiers are quite affordable and offer sound much more favorable.
