50 watts (50 watts lamps true, multiply by 1.8 for the transistor is equivalent to 90watts)
2hp 12 'celestion
Lamps: 3 x 12AX7, 2xEL34
Of transformer standards, a perfect construction, formwork and trs pais solid so that the amp PSE 35kg on the scales!!

2 guitar input: the first is to sound clear, and the 2nd sounds saturated but there is no switching between two channels (to switch from one to the other must Connect! This is not possible even with a AB box.

Rglage: gain, volume, treble, mid, bass, prsence that's all! At least it is not lost in rglages.

NB: Unlike the picture of audiozine, the guitar input 2 are arranged a cot and not the other one above the other (if anyone knows what it is I d 'm interested ...)

UTILIZATION

Trs simple config so very easy handle. Have a good sound is very simple if not childish.

The trs rglages are not effective but that is because it is passive, then, by turning a button you change the "CHARACTERISTICS" other. It's a bit hot but we understand there is rev quickly, the more it has a more musical sound

SOUNDS

The clear sound (um, between the "low") is not the best in the world but is suitable for phases in the clear when we play the stuff that make Bourin / quiet / Bourin / quiet ...
Without pedals between the blade and the throat, between the high, it has a sound that will quiet the sound of blues AC / DC (especially when the amp is pushed)

To get the sound, I tried a variety of pedals before falling on the one that suits me. the problem is that this amp Ragit too much of distortion pedals and overdrive. The mtalzone for example, that I detest on my other amp (Roland Jazz Chorus 50Watts) or even any other transistor amplifier (Marshall Valvestate test and laney 80w 80w) on the JCM monstrous sounds: a sound with that I play both the Pixies, from NOFX, the Black Desir. Each note rings and remains inteligible the sound is clean but rock'n'roll. When I need a more CRAD or even a clear sound continuously, I pass on the roland + DS7 Ibanez.
I put 9 / 10 to find her because I have a ajoindre pedals but once I got a good Found his madness.
Prcison I do not play guitars q'avec teams of micro simple Tlcaster ESP + or Jim Harley ST30 (strato copy, which I do not know by what miracle, sounds trs tr s good!)

OVERALL OPINION

Solid, simple, just turned 20 years and did not flinch one bit since I bought it 6 years ago.
I prt lot of friends to record, all fell in love. ("No, I do not sell !!!")
I like its simplicity even if the flange at the versatility in terms of its clear. on the other hand for everything saturation and overdrive is so cool!
I came across the OCCAZ: 2500frs there's no photo: qualitprix exxxxcellent report.
I do not regret this purchase even if right now I'm more attracted to the fender and more nervous TNU
