UTILIZATION

Super simple setup.
Manuel succinct but wide enough.
One branch, one refines slightly depending on the instrument used (For my part: Lag Electro-acoustic Nylon LAG, MARTIN LX1E, GODIN A6 Metal, Takamine 12 string, mandolin and bouzouki APPLAUSE MARC BOLUDA ...) and it sounds!
The settings are fairly accurate.
Effects (Alesis) are relatively good order. I do not use them excessively.
The one thing that bothers me is the orientation of the mixer located above the amp. When the amp is turned to the musician, the table is in front of him, on the other hand, if we use the amp in front of you and facing the audience, the mixer appears "upside down". But it's a detail!

SOUNDS

Sound incredible, transparency and exceptional warmth and an impressive power (400WRMS)!
All instruments are sublimated and my bouzouki MARC BOLUDA especially given its strength and its measurement in this amp. What happiness!
I play enough folk and Celtic (As French variety), and everything goes well in this amp.



OVERALL OPINION

I've had a few days after a board found at the site which advises GODIN this amp.
Not yet back from using "live". I tested at home with all my instruments, pushing it a bit. What happiness!
If other aspects are revealed by using "live", I'll add comments.
The specificities of 400 are multiple JAM! You can connect multiple instruments, microphones, voice (phantom power), and even keyboards! The amp even has internal effects. All this in a nice set of 21kg, which is not very heavy views the device capabilities.
I used (on small benefits) the Marshall AS 100 D No comparison!
In concert, I use a PA system (Table Mackie and RCF speakers front and back), I'll maybe add JAM 400 in the configuration, by connecting instruments (and I will return) and by channeling the sound in Mackie mixer for FOH.
