Ultra (red LED): Volume / Edge / Body / Bottom / Gain (active EQ!) + Switch: Crunch / Modern / Ultra

UTILIZATION

Personally I find great, easy to use not even need instructions!
One has only to turn the knobs!
Easy to connect, you choose the output impedance (64/8/16 omh) depending on your speaker and away you go!
The footswitch is nice enough, maybe not strong enough but it is a system of metal and not switch to pedal so I find it more accurate!

SOUNDS

It is suitable for all types of music, it is super versatile at that level ...
In total you have 3 Channel with 3 modes CHANNELS by making a total of 9 sound ...
1) The clean is very nice I use it in vintage fashion because I think it is the most crystalline, the other two are warmer and less precise.
2) I do not use much of the Lead, but do not forget even when I like to use to make me british blues improvisation, and mode High gain comes a big strong crunch ...
The classic for me is not enough saturated
3) Finally we arrive at the most important, the main channel! And yes channel Ultra ... This is the most distorted and it may well come out of his worshipers that will appeal to large metal ...
Personally I use the most modern fashion because the sound is more serious is heavier, correct style ... The ultra is very special, I do not worship too. And the Crunch is exellent to play a small Higway to hell! : D

I added a Boss EQ pedal to GE-7 to go further in the equalization and frankly I This now sounds huge! I will make some samples later!
If you want a big fat metal sound I suggest you put the bass to 3 / 4 see, the treble a little more than half the midle and at least half, you will have dug a big fat sound ...

Nothing to say about the reverb, it is nice and it is always better than nothing.

OVERALL OPINION

+ Versatility
+ Huge Power
+ FX loop effective
+ Footswitch well made

- Becomes worse at high volume
Here, I use it for almost eight months on a 4 * 12 cabinet marshall 1960A and to my room I found my big its my dream! But it's not perfect yet, but to repeat everything comes to those who wait: D. ..
Very good amp to get the hand with a stack and have a good power!
Wait and See!
