Everything has already been said tube amp, 30W, series effects loop, reverb and footswitchable adjustable, non-switchable boost etc ...

I put 6 / 10 because it lacks a stand-by ... it's quite painful, as I said it's impossible to put the knobs to zero to turn it off when the balance is made ... to repeat, it's no big deal but on stage ... !

6 / 10 also foot switchable reverb ... forced to lug around a foot switch to 2 even for those who do not use the reverb ... like me: o)
If you connect a footswitch to switch only 1, it toggles the reverb ... you can not change channels ... (I am taking lessons if I'm wrong: o)).
So, I does not include the footswitch to my pedalboard, I posed next to when I played with this amp: o)

6 / 10 also to the power supply cord ... can not disconnect, but it's not the death is painful ... : O)

A switch of ohms would have been nice ... although that side, I only have 16 ohm speakers.

UTILIZATION

The setup is very simple, nothing complicated.

You plug, you let warm, gently attack you, you play and it sounds right now ... Rock and medium!

The manual? I remember reading in 2 minutes when I got head but I have no memory!

SOUNDS

It's quite an amp rock n 'roll and medium and I have not yet mastered but it sounds really good!

I use this amp to the Baloch. I sought a second head amp which is not too expensive and that sounds right away because I was tired of lugging my Soldano head between the 2 groups ... So contract filled!

The sound is warm enough, but perhaps too much midrange for me ... (My AV cabinet in 1960 is perhaps something too, I would have his head on my baffle V30).
She welcomes the pedals really well, I was quite surprised at the result!

The clean is clean with my Telecaster and crunch really light with my Les Paul, as Marcos says, it has its charm: o)

The distortion channel is nice vraiemnt is bold, it drools a little P'ti (it depends on the guitar that I use too), it's hot and whistling harmonics easily.

One thing that surprised me over my head Soldano HR 50XL + is no compression ... I never had the opportunity to play on an amp without any compression ... pick of the attack is really good broadcast ... : O)

OVERALL OPINION

- I use it for 2 months, I did a concert with for now.
- I like the fact that the amp is plug n play, it sounds right now and what I like not to be seen above.
- The price / quality ratio is really good!
- With experience, I would surely something less than medium and ESPECIALLY with a stand-by. Anyway, as I said, a second amp, I prefer much less the sound with my group baloche so it suits me very well this amp.
