Combo Compact with HP 10 ", pretty convenient transport, power 5w pure class A 30 watt lamps Defines enmarche before putting the amp. Trs important! Term this could damage the amplifier to at least stand by ...
Two Channel 1 Clean / Crunch mode is changed manually, the second Blues / Burn (distortion)
Equalizers settings, reverb and Contourindpendants for each channel, the contour and the reverb can switch to the feet! So Foot Switch with Three Switch!
I put 9 for the lack of control piedsdes modes in each channel!

UTILIZATION

I prfre prcis be simple and clear, If You do not have a good ear, If you run out of patience, if you want to play rock n'roll Manir is not to say to make the head turn and play, then immediately zap!
The configuration is typically found on all the amps but the impact is not the same as a fender in the comparaisonpar exempleo of equalization knobs are limited dco .. ..
Will have one running prvoir with the purchase of this amp, I mean a familiar sound in the behavior!
Eg rglages in position 5 watts do not have the same impact as in position 30 watts ... see more

SOUNDS

APRS test and multiple weeks back:
Position 5 HP 10-watt ":
Mediums fall!! Treble bright enough without tropprendre head of revancheunmanque significant BASS!
Advantage: More precision sound including parts Lead for work in the studio, I will do selection personally!
Inconvnients: lack of BASS nepeut but not have it all ... and also a lack of contour ffective!? limit dcoratif

Position 30 watt HP 10 "
Warning your exact sonorechange really, rglages are being scaled up, more depth, the use of contour becomes intrressant in Lead, I think I think, but this is subjective, that the we gain a little depth in serious dtriment of sharp scalpel desmdiums!

Test With External Baffle 2x12 Marshall "Rsultat bass, bass, bass, a net loss of precision but still a sound opening dcoiffante! Configuration idalpour the scne.

Instructions Gnral Canal clean / crunch can cover all of lestypes sounds outside the Hard Rock and Mtal, So the Raggae to Funk, Blues to Rock surely. But do not expect this amp sounds VINTAGE! Then the channel Blues / BURN, channel Blues do not really convinced and finds himself a bit redundant mode between Clean, Crunch and Burn them to cover all the sounds you are looking for. A Big Sound exclude extreme typeMETAL Type Hard Core, Death Metal Etc ... ncessitent that more thickness in the Distortion. The mesa express is not a DUAL RECTIFIER!

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this amp new, I had tried many other before 5:50, the 5:25 Hp 12 ", the HP 5:25 12" Subwoofer in Custom MAHOGANYet the last that I I bought mainly for its sound down the precision of Crunch and its convenient transportation ct, What I like about this amp is the crunch sound with 5 watts practice trs as a good sound without playing the ultra sound Fortet Clean and Burnens 30 watts, I have not found a specially 5:25 in HP 12 ". On a 5: 50 While I do not have AIM, trs his drooling!! Everyone's goutset the little one that instantly msa is really accommodating!
With exprience yes I do it again this choice HP 10 inches without hsiter.
