UTILIZATION

Extremely simple and accurate


SOUNDS

I play mostly hard rock, rock us for years 70 / 80
I'm using a Vigier Marilyn with Di Marzio x2n
The sound is crystal clear and warm it gets even a crunch sound awesome in the amount of gain,
I put personal gain 09 hours, and a small chorus utis. X2n despite the clear sound obtained is more than bluffing.
The second channel is the ultimate weapon of the rocker, hard rocker looking for a sound ranging from light crunch to heavy distortion and accurately. About Me channel will I play on the maiden, acdc the ......
The third channel is a weapon of mass destruction, even without pushing back the gain saturation are obtained extremely precise. I use this channel only to boost my solos.
I rarely heard a sound like a quality amp. I compared it with great receiver, none appealed to me as EVH, it is highly reactive shot pick.
Reverb tube so mesa roadster would have been perfect

OVERALL OPINION

A big beautiful amp (I have the white model) very upscale.
Perfect to play good hard fat with its most accurate and huge.
I bought it on Saturday morning, the same night I used on stage. I did the first setting in the afternoon in the balance.
I had gone to buy a stiletto mesa_boogie when I tried the beast I did not even hesitate for a minute. Yet I did not like the 5150 1 and 2 from peavey.
I paid € 2600 with his cabinet and so had to redo would without any hesitation.
With a true tube reverb would have been more than perfect.
And what a mouth white.
