There has always been a demand by guitarists for economic amplification which can provide a great sound in any style.

The Sessionette 75 Mark II by Axess Electronics Ltd provides all of this in a combo the size of a 14" portable TV set.

Weighing just 14kg could this start a trend in balsa wood bins and reinforced polystyrene long-throws?

The Sessionette 75 Mark II is the updated version of the model first introduced in 1981, and now features a new Mosfet power amp stage.

Its maximum output is an impressive 75 watts RMS which the specially designed 12" driver handles without complaint.

I found it very easy to leap from the super-clean end of Country and creamy-smooth Jazz to the much sought after dirt and raunch of Messrs Jeff Beck and Steve Lukather; all of this was achieved with a wonderfully simple set of controls.

The two-channel selector switch on the front panel allows the choice of either channel without the use of the optional footswitch or, when the footswitch is in use, it can be simply set to the centre position.

The overdrive stage (Channel A) comprises two gain pots and one pot for the harmonic filter.

Gain one sets the desired amount of overdrive sustain and gain two is the master volume for Channel A.

The harmonic filter set at zero produces mellow sustain; with the Gibson in particular this gives the authentic Clapton 'woman tone' .

The setting at 5 will give a flat response for 'natural' overdrive tonality and at 10 adds a hard-edged cut to the overdrive, especially when used with the bridge pickup.
This is great for dishing up those meaty power chords.
The filter pot was very responsive and I found that by juggling between settings I could get a wide variety of classic Rock sounds without even having to switch pickups.

Still dealing with the front panel controls, the EQ Mode Selector allows a choice of either the rotary EQ controls to be used in the standard manner or when switched to 'Set' removes the three-band EQ circuit completely and is replaced by a narrow band 'Preset' tone.

As this feature only applies to the Distortion Channel (A), takes on a fat, rounded character which is simultaneously gain-boosted to make the guitar rich in 400 Hz signal and provide long sustain.
