sounds.

US Hot Combo 40W: Emphasizes the high mid-frequency range, making this model
ideal for solo sounds.

result in broad sounds with a lot of oomph.”

smooth fusion lead sounds.

continuously since the 1960s for rock music, without any significant modification. This

using very high input levels or Gain/Master settings).
