Value For Money : Excellent
Lamps-preamp, amp mosfet
-450W @ 4ohms, 275 @ 8ohms
Single-connection, a single entry input with push / pull-15dB, otherwise XLR DI output, an output jack HP or Speakon output tuner, preamp in, preamp out, effects loop, ground lift.
One-parametric mid EQ 4band with a more equalization 10bandes
-A serious boost, treble, a bright (adds shine) and a mute
It's all footswitch, not included of course!

I put 9 but it is noted that the power cable is not provided ...

UTILIZATION

-Configuration is intuitive, like many current amp!
The presets-the manuals are quite efficaces.personnelement I left on the rock preset then I changed and we get a very good sound rapidement.l '10bandes EQ is more complicated to configure, and using a sound engineer can be lifesaving, or if it spent time on it just!
-English manual / espagnol...clair until you fully understand the 2langues!

SOUNDS

- It is perfect for my style of music, it is also built for that! Rock'n'roll!
I use it with my warwick corvette standard 5cordes bubinga, ineffective, and the sound I got is very aggressive, but you can get a very "fat", not aggressive (round), its a perfect slap also by activating the treble and bass boost, in the bright adds a layer if you did not do enough!
-Personally aggressive mediums coupled to the depth of the grave (beautiful, surprising for a definition!) Is not my sound préféré.je desteste a priori no sound.
-Noted that this amp has a very good character but it colors the sound ... so of course if you love the big deep bass and clear, there is no problem, but if you prefer the sound its low, it will not count on him ... a note that it can strengthen the sides of your bass, for example, very serious round of my warwick are enhanced with serious boost ... but the grain of the is not low ... only problem with the amp!

OVERALL OPINION

I just got it, so since day one, I'll do one if needed later UP
-The serious and aggressive for me is its strong point
"I try Hartke HA3500, mark bass little mark, then I say go you break the wallet, ampeg ... I'm disappointed in any way ... I recommend it to anyone who wants an amp character with very beautiful bass frequencies!
I do it again this choice a thousand times yes, unless I will not like the amp has a strong character ...
It is good value for money (at MusicStore 1100euros ...), coupled to a nemesis nsp410 (500euros. ..) which is a quality insoupconée, the case is indeed good!

UP AFTER 6 months:

the fan has a manufacturing defect, it makes a mess for head of this award, but the guarantee is no problem, I suspected outsourcing of parts manufacturing in China and an American ... because I opened the beast and the interior is really in order, frankly, it exudes quality, which was not the case fan ...

if not for her, it is always good, I paufiné my settings, with a little less aggressive, it must still be careful not to abuse because of serious we are left with a surplus quickly affecting the mix instruments in a band!

So I have nothing negative said, except this little problem of fan!
honestly try it and see for 1000euros, ca worth!

UP AFTER 9 months:

So the fan was changed by the VAS, since I have no problem, I added the NSP115 the stack, which makes me a fairly virulent 3corps! : D

It is also worth noting that the power does not gradually from the master button, but the sound comes much faster between 6 / 10 and 8 / 10, so that there is no more power in 4ohms a volume equivalent, but a high volume, 450W sings, and it's been very, very afraid, so they sing only rarely, and the amp does not necessarily need!

a good purchase anyway!
