Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Cream-finished 100W guitar head with two channels, digital reverb, a series effects loop, and an included footswitch for changing sections in a song. The Clean channel has a Bright switch; the Overdrive channel supplies the amp’s gain voice. Bass, Middle, Treble, and ISF controls provide direct tonal adjustment, including British- and American-style voicing changes. Reduce output to 5W for home practice, connect a cabinet through the 8- or 16-ohm outputs, or use the speaker-emulated line output for direct recording.
