everything is already said! O)

UTILIZATION

it's a combo, a knob for each parameter, nothing complicated: they are running smoothly and the sound is there.
I said softly as the knobs are effective and turning quickly, or miss some sounds.

- A little less for the name of the knobs that are writing a very readable place: standing we do not know their names.

SOUNDS

I tried many things and it's this one that gave me the most pleasure.
I play with a gibson LP custom and it is a treat. a bit rich in the bass but it corrects itself very well.
I even dropped my multi-effects (prophesy) that made me lose the momentum of 5 / 50. and it is this dynamic that made me chose the 5-50

gain this amp gives very good distortion. but remains in the registry and blues rock, rock show very next channel.
it is not for the metal is what I miss.

- Little less of this section: the highs are very sharp to the ear when one is in the axis of the cone.

OVERALL OPINION

it is 6 months since I use it and no regrets.
I tried a bunch of stuff, H & K, Soldano, Marshall, Vox, Mesa Brunetti and also (I never liked until then) but within this range, and given the very high quality finishing class The 5-50 was for me.
he accuses of lacking personality, but for me it's what makes her strong point. it can not remain in the same register.
it's all-tube: accuracy and dynamics are RDV: so it pushes us to correct our game because this type of amp does not forgive mistakes or rough games. it's a bit confusing at first.
the only thing that bothers me about this combo is too much difference in volume between the channel and the other burn. because to truly benefited well ... it sounds really hard. very good ... but very hard.

going to say anything bad, it is expensive, but in this range and this quality, well this tax! O)
