50W all-tube amp
1 channel
2 between high and low
knob in order: gain, bass, middle, treble, master (volume) and prsence. - Note that the knob is gradus 0 11 -
1 standby
1switch on off
non-switchable effects loop and impossibility of its volume rgler>>> rack only!
2 outputs for extensions.

I put 8 not because it is a single channel (which is not a default) but because of its non-adjustable effects loop volume. which is a large black dot ...

UTILIZATION

Configuration ultra simple knob 6 which act as they should on the sound.
no frills.

One thing that Mike Soldano has not Remde is that have can not use a switchbox (a / b box) to change between as you would to change the channel: when a jack is in one of two inputs, the other is silent. damage. but the hot rod is not for 50 so I put a 9 in use (not 10 or I'll be pointed on a thread ...;))

SOUNDS

L I am still obligated: Absolute 10!

I have never heard such a grain! the gain is not very lev (not recommended for heavy metal very heavy) but still pretty oats for the sabbath, from Led Zep, or in heavy gnral. god is good!

it can range from very slight crunch on the low GRRRRRRROWWWW typically between Soldano (a falls well it is!). and this through the crunch fat enough, a good lead or rather baveu Dfine, and even a marshall sound enough (it looks like the JCM800 ... on cd).

the equalizer is effectively above. mention specially the knob of prsence which is a real killer! 11 is metalleu land (with the gain in less ...).

Start with a clean as a going alone! with a bit of a rverbe sounds great but do not have them: the hot rod is not for a n'atteind and not the quality of a fender or vox .

this amp typ big rock is primarily dstin guitarist wanting to two amplifiers: one for clean very clean and the other (the so Soldano) to send the sauce.

OVERALL OPINION

There is a model 2 channels of 50 hot rod ... probably more practical if I had to choose I'd take the latter probably because the foot switch is much more convenient than changing the input jack (especially before a solo ... l have to be motivated!)

I put 9 because everything is perfectible! including this little gem!
