2 channels
4 inputs (2 per channels)
An effects loop
No master
UTILIZATION
Very easy to use, it's plug and play, we selected the entry you want and turn up the sound. The higher one goes, the more it crunch. No need to break the head as with an amp with master, to find the right balance between the master and gain. The only drawback is that for the crunch, you have to play very hard to see! But that's what makes it so charming.
I use it with a Marshall cab with greenback 1960ax.
SOUNDS
Let's start with the normal channel. Very good sound! Hyper warm. Lots of bass, quite dark overall. This channel does not have much crunch, I use it mostly for clean. It looks like the normal channel of the JTM45 RI I had just before. Next comes the high treble channel. While there is no more laughs! Very powerful, very aggressive, but in a good way. A 1.5 is already very strong and crunch it already! What happiness! You should know 2's, it is already 80% of its power. A 10 is not much stronger than 2. The volume is not very progressive. It shipments sauce now! The crunch is lovely, full of bass too. At the bottom, with the Gibson SG is the sound of Angus Young.
The amp comes with two excellent Svetlana EL34 tubes rebadgées Marshall. I just changed the preamp lamps. I put a lamp in NOS RFT v1 (massacre true) and 2 lamps JJ ECC83 in V2 and V3.
Same with my JTM45, I had to jumper both channels both set to 10 to play the AC / DC for not enough gain in the high treble channel alone, as the 1987x not need to be bridged. The high treble channel fully adequate.
OVERALL OPINION
I use this amp for about 2 months and I love it. The JTM45 I liked a lot, but this one even more. It suits me better. It is more rock!
