OVERALL OPINION
I use this amp since 2009. In fact, I would say that I had available in late 2009.
As of December 19, 2009, I gave the amp to the seller (in Luxembourg) under warranty because the amp had cracking after a few minutes of operation.
The amp was returned to the importer and I only recovered in April 2010, after several visits to the store and several e-mail reminders.
End of 2013, new problem: the start, the amp is a "hum'puissant when turned on.
But at that time, the seller has closed his shop. To find a solution, I check a few web sites, I re-re-read the manual, ...
Internet does not really help on the subject and the manual tells me that a problem rarely comes from the preamp.
In desperation, I replace the lamps 6L6 power and replace one by one the lamps 12 AX7 ensuring reinstall the original lamp if the problem persists. And then the 3rd lamp 12 AX7 replaced, I note that the problem disappears.
Since then, the amp works properly. But I dare not comment on its reliability without testing for at least one year.
I am happy to read that some players are satisfied with their purchase. For my part, for 1800EUR, I expected fewer problems. And if other guitarists have shared the same experience, I'd like to know. And especially whether the problem is reproduced. Thank you in advance
