Value For Money : Excellent
It has an amp 300 W RMS with two speaker outputs, a preamp tube that serves only to "decorate" ... Brief standard config, all you need is already using a radio / CD to understand how to use that thing!

UTILIZATION

It's simple? Yes it ha! ^ Same too? In short, I used this amp a few months. Honestly it is given for 300 w ... ? I have doubts about the power. One gets the impression of having a "soft knee" in front of us! How many times I yelled: "But you sent me of his b *****!". The sound? so easy to obtain: a y'en (which is neutral for that matter!). For the rest, you have real brands!

SOUNDS

So for her? .. Easy to obtain: it connects and presto! So you could say "easy"! For the rest?! If you have a good bass, the sound is good, if it is a low entry level, you'll understand me! But this amp is intended for young, novice, etc.. In short, those starting out and want a first head (with the light so conspicuous!) Without breaking the bank ... He missed!

This amp is only useful for two things: it is nice it is true that the next vintage, the lamp behind a small window that's pretty ... According to the weight: it weighs like a dead donkey weighted with lead, it was an amp that one hesitates to move! So sometimes we say we will cancel the concert for fear of having this anvil up and down the seven-storey student from our room ... Simply put: you want a good head cheap, efficient, lighter? Take the VR Micro ampeg! It sounds a thousand times better, and the weight off that thing! When I received it and plugged (after wearing it on the walls I thought: given the weight it needs to send!) Well I plug it, and then I tell myself ... "Um, I had forgotten to plug a wire, or a button to switch?!" ... Short, one rikikiki ... I searched? Well no, everything was ok! Finally at the connections!

For sound, you should know that you really "push" knobs for juice! It's annoying fast! The feeling of not having underfoot bothers me terribly!
I have no favorite in this amp! Oh yes when I found someone to take it back ... I had to sell off a few weeks after the purchase because really after two concerts (one outdoors) I was bored, annoyed ... Sound "sucks" without fishing, tasteless ... In short, the sound you not want to have!

The only drawback is that if you just want to throw it out the window by dint of seeking the right sound you could seriously injure someone given the weight of the craft!
The preamp tube: a scam! it is aesthetic! More you push the gain, or volume, the lamp does not change! It's just a flashlight that illuminates a lamp "power" behind glass! This is not even the power tube that lights up! Scandal! See if you have the opportunity to your dealer ... Or I hate to think that it is the head that I had a worry ...
Sincerely opt for a class D amp that prevent you fart back and give you the power, dB less heavy!

OVERALL OPINION

I scratched a personal brand: Kustom. I do not want to hear about it! To get a head behind buy Ampeg Micro VR, I can say that I realized the difference between a small head well filled, and a large head and very heavy load ... To me this model is an error, a horror of bass amplification! There are two knobs on the front which are useless! I've looked ... As soon as we moved into one, it did lower the noise level, frequency and disappear so random?? ... So they stayed in the middle tjs! Therefore remained a 3-band equation (and yes as an active bass!) For an amp supposed "to do", it's very light!

What I liked:? The price? And even when using it because we say we paid dearly! the least: Ben this thing to be considered a 300 watt bass amp, and worse than some young people say that's true bass sound known! My Harley Benton 110-w buried "far" (in terms of sound, sound diffusion, feeling of power ...)!

The rating is final. It's tough but deserved! Maybe mine was a concern, but with hindsight it is part of the worst mistakes I made in choosing the material of low!
Flee ... Or assume!
