«  very good »

It's a transistor amp, but to my knowledge the only one to enjoy a good reputation. Has a chorus and tremolo (in stereo as two BAFl). Saturation as well.


UTILIZATION

Simple configuration is quite large but reasonable depth. The wheels on the amp are very convenient. Use: Apartments should be avoided because the volume to 1 or 1.5 maximum, then we risk making enemies, lol! Following the year of manufacture, effects loop or not ...
Namely: it is a keyboard amp at first, which was adopted mainly by guitarists then.
Clearly, connect a Rhodes and other electric keyboards, is very good ...
Some even advocate plugging his bass ...

SOUNDS

Its very neutral, not distorted, very nice. The chorus is legendary. We can at least use effects pedals with versatility as the starting signal is neutral and clear, so to speak. I use it with an Ibanez Universe 7 BK UV ...

OVERALL OPINION

I did last year, but living in an apartment, because I use little too powerful, but I'm planning to move ...
It is a legendary amplifier used especially by The Police, The Cure, Pat Metheny and many guitarists jazz fusion.
I also find it a big interest in plugging a keyboard: I have a Roland FP 5 that becomes less sanitized, more friendly with AD 120, when there is no lamp ...

The chorus is fine but very distinctive, and legendary, tremolo, interesting, and I does not hang too much on the reverb, maybe not quite this ... These include the saturation which is not workable in my opinion, therefore, no interest

I do it again because this choice is a unique sound and purpose, compared to my Marshall Valvestate 40 which is very nice but less versatile but powerful
