Transistor amplifier, a power dlivrant announcement of 100 watts, faade, two channels:
Channel 1 in jack Classic
Channel 2 in jack and XLR (with phantom power)
Each channel has its own gains and SETTING THE qualisation.
Channel 1 also offers a switch active / passive, phase reverse and a filter.
A notch can choose one of frequencies and eliminate the feedback = increasing.
A reverb with four rglages and a knob for gain effects.
It ends with an SETTING THE volume output.
At the rear:
The on / off switch
an effects loop
output for linking to another amplifier
a direct decision to enter a table (this does not take into account the output level, but everything else)

UTILIZATION

Very simple configuration, you plug a sound, the rgalges are obvious, it's quiet, not making a manual head with hyper complicated.
The sound is typical especially when using the filter (which is my case). Pretty sharp, super bass, mdiums creuss hair. The speaker has two tweeters and a 10 inch speaker (well I think it's 10 inches, but I'm not sr ...)
Frankly, if you are looking for Tuck Andress its type (which is my case), it's perfect.
In concert, I use it as back and I plug the DI on the table directly.

SOUNDS

See above for the sound. I just add that the spectrum is pure trs (my ears anyway), and the harmonics are Submitted. e IT CAN BE USED with a Godin ACS Nylon Slim, and a Godin LG (micro Tetrad, splitter, slecteur position 4). Between the amp and my guitars, I aphex compressor and volume pedals (compressor aphex I can just avoid losses and gains too turn up the volume in concert - it is fed by the channel via the two phantom power supply and an XLR cable: a particularity of aphex pedals). This is the only thing I could fault this amp: when one goes up in power, you lose the claret and the sound gets too slammed. But in the case of most of the acoustic amps I tried (Fishman, AER, Marshall) and that sound is too slammin (EAR), is too typs (Marshall) or neutral (Fishman)

OVERALL OPINION

I IT CAN BE USED for 1 year, I am fully satisfied. In fact I no longer use this amp. It is exactly the style I'm looking for (acoustic jazz, swing, blues). Forget if you want to paste a distortion, or if you want an amp that reproduces the sound of your guitar and has only (the AER knew better, but for my part, I find a cold trs frustrating - at the same time, my guitars are not vritables acoustic).
My MODEL (550 OCCAZ purchased on this site) is a MODEL English, I now know that they manufacture in Korea, but a friend bought a rcent in England (350 euros postage included ...) and apart from the knobs a little cheap and the grip smaller - may also be finishing a little less clean but so little), the sound is almost equivalent. The report is unbeatable qualitprix me.
Repeat this choice? No problem, I think even buy one of these four deuxime to play on with a stro ... slight delay trs
