A footswitch input to start the drive

Settings:
Resonance (on / off)
Presence
B / M / T

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use
Master button is very sensitive early in the race, attention ears!

Beware of spare parts and maintenance because the amp is apparently more important.

SOUNDS

The amp is single channel so you can:

or play with little gain and start the drive to skiing: it has a crunch and distortion rock / hard
or play without saving and start the drive for a crunch
is to gain in depth and the drive to the bottom: then we have a big metal saturation

Personally, I think this amp is without concessions, ie it gives the essence putting all thoroughly. It then approaches a triple X sounds. For cons, the downside is that you do not have a clear sound.

The grain is beautiful, does not bleed like a Marshmall, the dynamic is excellent, the settings effective without being excessive. Good clear sound as well.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this amp a year ago and a half to a friend who had acquired it second hand. I had many problems with a priori but the amp had been hacked by the original owner so I do not know what part due to the amp and that attributable to the original purchaser.

What I like most: his drive to gain + background really fabulous
What I like least: its lack of versatility. Ideally, the same thing in two channels

The report his / price is excellent

I turned instead to a double or triple so keep that channel or head saturation and another in the clear
