see the opinion of TAZ in terms of description and history

UTILIZATION

Configuration less impious than it seems:

The clean is managed by the INPUT GAIN and MASTER VOLUME
Channel saturated with INPUT GAIN, VOLUME and LEAD MASTER VOLUME
So you have to manage the levels and saturation channels live long.
Note the switch RYTHM allowing cruncher see a little more clean channel and helps thicken the overdrive channel
It is not controllable live, but still provided a potential studio dual channel (clean and crunch saturated saturated fuzz)

For EQ, Presence, Bass, Mid, Treeble.
Slightly more efficient than the original marshall but sometimes a little support settings.

SOUNDS

Can pass through the equalizer to several types of sound, jazzy clean, sparkling clean, saturated rhythm, Lead, crunch muddy ..... Of course, everything depends on the speakers. Tested with a 4X12 in greenback, beautiful diffusion (normal) presence seconded, a good foundation of sound.

Tested on a 1X12 V30 (orange ppc 112), and although I must say that the V30 maligned once surprised me ..
include the definition of the album Appetite for Destruction with the grain so light, requiring a diabolical precision, but once mastered is magical. I speak of course use in connection with a Les Paul.

Tested on a loadbox Palmer and a type rating simulator two engineering and guitar rig: it keeps the heat lamp but nevertheless we obient flat sound .... but sets.

It will be difficult to reach heights of saturation as orange or soldant.
But sometimes we wonder what good ....

OVERALL OPINION

Shop TAZ for 1 year, I discover as you go. This amp will always surprise me.
Must tame, tame. But I do not regret my purchase. I sold my AFD Slash, can be wrong because it is really another very good amp (less versatile, more high level sound and tuned especially mono channel). I posted a while an ad for the sale and ultimately worse, NO

I even buy a tiny to repeat, but this one will stay in the boxes. I prefer to lug around 20 kg but a sound that suits me rather than 8 kg and a train for the clean crunch Lead.

ADD ON: I had the opportunity to test a JCM 800 on the cabinet of the same name. it was really good in my memories, a little thicker, but less accurate and less defined mono channel.
