I do not usually post here but believe this amp was so surprised I must say what I think ...
It is a single channel all-tube amp, equipped with 2HP 12 "which are greenback (my favorite, there's no more rock'n'roll). 50W power already is monstrous but that is very readable thanks to a knob volume very linear (not like mesa or fender).
Otherwise, read the previous opinions.

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple.
All knob to 12 (except the volume and reverb), we chose GAIN HIGH or LOW and it plays ... after you move the knob to see what happens, the most important being and BODY DETAIL.
The store did not give me a manual but there is no need is a simple mind-blowing.

SOUNDS

Ahhh the sound! That's why I post a notice ...
Damn it slams to a marshall.
Guitars test: Start Fender Classic Player 50, Gibson BFG.
Amp comparison, Mesa Rectifier, koch Studiotone, JCM200TSL, Fender Twin (the one from a friend)
Sounds clear with a stratum, it is super nice and clean, playing with body detail and moving from a more round (basseman style) to a more open and slamming (we approach the fender twin but not the 'match), with all possible intermediate.
The clear surpass those of JCM2000, Mesa Rectifier, they are almost as good as those of Koch and Studiotone worse than the real fender twin.
With Gibson, you must lower the body knob gains and detail if you enter directly into the crunch, but it is beautiful, less bright and pure with a good strat but this amp does very well out the character of each guitar so it noirmal. I could not believe what was said in a notice below-> get sound clean and bright arpeggios of red hot: Well no, it's not a joke, the fact that serious ca)
The crunch sound: this amp is a blues machine is mortal and is super vintage. Here is the best amp I had and try to give me like that crunch. it is pure folly. Whatever the guitar.
Big crunch (going in HIGH gain): Start with it's hard to achieve the sound to AC / DC and it's normal limits, it is not the purpose of this type of guitar. But now it is very blues and you arrive, knob of body and / or retail background in rock nice. With a Gibson, it's different, we go live rock in the register until you reach a big distortion, (damn the sound of guns, led zep, hendrix ... the whole rock and 80's is 60.70 in this amp).
While the évdemment VintageModern is that Vintage Modern and never sound like the Mesa Rectifier or Studiotone Koch.
So you will understand, I love it. Clean the lens or more well rounded, delicate crunch of the very large rock, it is rather bold and biting, all sounds are there but this will depend on the guitar to be plugged into it. The heat is there, and the greenback are incomparables.J 't use the nuances that can be playing with the volume of knob scratch because I put it to tjrs funds, but it seems that it reacts like clockwork.

OVERALL OPINION

I for 1 week.
Amps I've had quite a bit and try bcp.
I loved my opinion, some will not like. The music and sound is above all a matter of taste. Some will hate and others love it. Give it a try.
Cons:
-> Do not agree to very very large rock and metal.
-> In terms of dynamics it is below the koch, Mesa ...
-> In terms of versatility is a mychannel so it is versatile but not to be.

I tried it because he was on sale in a store zic. After hearing and considering the sale price, I cracked ... So quality / unbeatable price. The normal price, the report is good.
If I referrer this choice later? I do not know, I like to try everything, changing stuff ... but anyway I will keep it for a while.
