UTILIZATION

Very simple. Plug and play.
No need for instructions.

SOUNDS

Warning this amp isn versatile in the sense that the sound is clear unusable group as not powerful enough.

So very rock sound is obtained. Big crunch powerful.
Personally I use it with the gain halfway:
It gives a powerful sound quite grainy with a nice grain british (but fairly typical)
(Must imperatively be tested before large volume purchase)

Ideal for the music I play in a group (90's rock) like "faith no more" smashing "coughed.
Perfect as pr punk rock to "bad religion" and also for the noize (Refused) or the stoner ..
After that will depend of the guitar but it works well with a humbucker or strat (playing the guitar volume.
0n can also be used for rock 70's also moderating the gain.

Beyond half the gain is going to distortion. C is not my thing but metaleux will find their account without problems.

OVERALL OPINION

I do not use it for a long time but I was immediately hooked to her.
It sounds terrible!
Honestly I was gone for a test orange AD30 (which sounds great too) but I did not like I found the smooth sound .. more mat. Not convinced ... In any case it does m apportai tiendr more than what I had in gear.

Before leaving I have asked (without much hope) àvessayer that I took for a toy .. This tt jim root.
after the test I have dropped to my preconceptions (related to metal design and the signature of the amp)
We can do many things with this amp as it's still rock.
Are not 50 sounds but if you like the grain is happiness.
Sounds very well with the cab jim root.
But i have tested it with my mesa 1x12 cab and it does it well too.
Therefore resumé good rock amp with good momentum, which readily accepts effects (od in frontage) more im a boycle effect.
For those who fear the 15 watts ... There's plenty to do for group play c is guaranteed!
I (and I had) a lot of amp (engl fireball, JCM900, peavey, Laboga)
This one I did not need it but it really put me on the ass (maybe it is made to go with my reverend daredevil? ..) Suddenly I broke down and I bought it. ..
Still, it is a bit expensive I think (I did not take the cab either)
I remake that choice because I have other amps for clean sounds.
This is a personal opinion but I prefer to 10fois engl fireball for example.
This is a very good surprise for me. But try before you buy with sonmatos.
