All 100W Lamp: 4 X 4 X 12AX7 + EL34
2 independent channels an acute and a more serious with each other
2 inputs per channel
Reverb + Presence

The configuration is not made out a sound that twists, it's straight and clear ...

UTILIZATION

You plug, you send ...
You move a knob and it is beautiful anyway ...

The reverb transformer, is not the original hit that buzz a little when we put a lot ...
But I do not like the reverb ...

on the other hand, this is a portable mover ...

SOUNDS

Basically I do not break too much with the head is kind of amp, I do everything thoroughly:
The cabinet is not the original model that should be open (His clear obligation ...)
So with the closed, inevitably, it compresses,
This allows me to put it back without dying the first notes ...
(Ears protected of course, I'm not stupid non-plus)
which allows to appreciate all its made for taking his ...
Less strong, the sound is obviously also magically vintage ...

The cabinet is an original ballfe higher than the "classic" with an opening at the top between the 2 HP, which should give them more "slamming" (I guess) ...

I play a G & L ASAT Classic and a TS9 (occasionally),
but take my word for it) with a Les Paul Standard, is to cry so beautiful ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use really since one month, because I just did revise and change the power tubes ...

I try a lot and my favorite remains the Marshall JCM800 (no 900 2000 or out of pity)

For the price, this is my first amp so "yes" ...
This is not the sound that I'm dreaming, but it's great fun to make it sound ...
I have a VOX AC30TB, my next will be a twin, and a 800 ...
What Else?

Plus: Sound
The Cons: weight, but I do not want to do so in concert, no less ...
