Transistor amplifier 2 * 80W
4 HP 10 "which face slightly upward
2 channels with a no effect (ideal for connecting a microphone)
SETTINGS acute, medium, severe
effects: reverb + tremolo or chorus
A little heavy, but its small wheels allow easy transport, which says more transistors said impact resistance foolproof
I do not think it is disregarded, all the studios have, and it was used in an incredible amount of records

UTILIZATION

Setup could not be more simple
The sound is fantastic
You can play hard on it, but nothing to do with a tube amp.
In concert need a PA ca
There is a distortion built in, but I mention it, it is atrocious.
It is the warm and clear with a hint of chorus that makes you fly a 10 000 m above sea level.
In short it is a fantastic gem, I had the opportunity to buy a second, only the lack of space prevented me, but I am very sorry. I could buy 10 if I had the place

SOUNDS

It is ideally suited to my style (I play a 80% in clean or slightly distorted)
For the Jazz / Blues is simply a reference amp
Only when the breath activates the tremolo or chorus is a bit high. But we are not facing a 2008 amp!

OVERALL OPINION

I have at least 10 years
Its particularity is to deliver a unique sound, clear, warm, bewitching.
I bought 3000 F, it gives
As I said I would do this choice 100 times if necessary.
I tried versions 120 and 60, they are very good, but the 160 is something else again.
