  Characteristics

  CHARACTERISTICS them are in the notice rpertories Previous.
  
  The little monster is an amp simulator with a multi-format pdalier effects. Box, potentiomtres and various buttons are plastic, plastoc, I would say even, and the resulting appearance does not inspire great confidence about the solid Reserved gear. Yes my dear friends, we must avoid going there like a mule if you want it to last more than two concerts ...
  
  That said, and this observation is valid for the remainder of the notice, to consider the price of this unit, which makes it unique in its class (apart from Behringer that I did not test and with no expression pedals, the guy). If you want the best, there is the POD, but it is more expensive (and may be not so great that a, if you look at the view, particularly in regard to the XT and XT Pro).

  Utilization

  1 Manual.
  
  Effective. Not super sexy, huh, attention, no explanation or color photo of tmoignage McCartney or Sting like "ow, fellows, this is appaweil siuwpew I pwends toujouw SUW the course with me now." No, we must not RVer. But After all, what do we do not care of tmoignage of people of all fawns do not use any amp simulator 100 euros? On aileurs McCartney, as far as I can remember, is under contract with SansAmp. In short, manual trs trs simple but effective. In reading, simply, we can all use of the machine. Voil.
  
  
  
  2L'dition sounds and effects ...
  
  For effects, the limited edition is trs. You can only assay the amount you want to put on your sound. For the wah / talk, possibility to choose the type of filter (the rglage is the complicated not remember it without the manual).
  
  In regard to formulations, well, there are four rglages: 3 of qualisation, 1 a gain / prsence.
  
  
  
  3Bon know
  
  The ax10b possde 4 groups combined:
  
  _the first is that simulations
  
  
  
  That of the second-modulation effects (wah, other filters, pitch, u-vibe, trem, chorus, flanger, etc ...)
  
  
  
  Troisime it: the reverbs and delays.
  
  
  
  Quatrime it: the compressor, Octaver, and distortion.
  
  
  
  If we can combine the effects of the four groups at the same time, we will however not hold two effects of the same group. Thus, for example, impossible to delay or reverb + comp + dist. The only effect that the screed is Octaver RULES since it is both in the group comp / dist / octave and modulations in the group as the pitch.
  
  
  
  Plus: tap the button for the delays. Indeed, the machine n'tant not noon, you can still rgler same speed delay of Manir intuitive, it's cool, have a lack ...
  
  
  
  Voil. Otherwise, with respect to the use as a general rule, it is plutt facie especially since it is the expression pedals / volume (your choice) and everything is recordable in the memory of the machine. Normally, on scne, it's OK. In home studio, it's a different story: that wind boha lo "(the wind) ...

  Sound Quality

  This is the center of dbat: can you ask a machine in this price range acceptable performance? For my part I think so, since even small budgets have not cum to hear more of his breath when they recorded on their pc. And this is the case on this pdalier: ban the compression up over 2 / 3 failing to hear a cat colr with your bass line, prohibiting the use of the EQ knobs mid and high more than half and for some amp simulations, prohibiting the use altogether. Otherwise? Quite simply, a breath, as the wind Autan Toulouse, as in Balagure Barn, as the Mistral in Provence. And if the wind was something romantic in the scrub on a hot day grazing, when it enters your speakers, well ... how to say ... there is nothing the fuck you must go, sir. Joke hand, one can avoid the problem. Just to mourn for the hyper rglages in eq (all knobs blocked left, you can use almost normally the bass, and tampering with a little high and med), and not Exceeds the right amount of comp (two-thirds, and all calves at Del's got my too, has become inaudible). It will also, depending on the type of amp simulations, tampering with the gain knob / mid-fc (fc = mid-prsence?) Moves away to the sound. At this time the sound was clean and breath, but you can almost touch it ...
  
  
  
  Once the problem rgls, you have access to amp modeling convincing, even if its not exactly the real amps, but the plutt Manir ... to me, to tell you the truth, patient and attentive readers, I defeats. I find the trs honnte made, especially since small rverbes room can be used (eg I like the comp config = 20 + amp + = studio atmosphere = air, for those who dj possdent the machine). We have the means to find one's self, even more, from vintage to modern frquences trs medium, round and prcis (provided it does not abuse the knob of EQ bass). Ct disto, Russia is my taste, very dirty and greasy, gives a good atmosphere a bit. Add all this one-sparing effects, and you have a versatility that will allow you even a hint of madness and research in your compositions.
  
  
  
  Another thing: do not rely on presets, they are zero, exactly. We can draw inspiration for the ide, but they do not account for this big problem of breath ...
  
  
  
  And since it takes a good laugh a bit, we dwell a little on one end of the group "modulation".
  
  "Feedback.
  
  My god, dear readers, I must confess that despite all my concentration and my srieux, the day on discovering what pdalier, I came across it, I t of the prey an absolutely irrprssible laughter. You should hear a. As stated precisely trs Previous Likouidsunshine in the notice is an oscillation that mimics a rotten feedback. Not only not at all convincing, but even more ridiculous when using the pedals back, making "turn" and the sound was the carrment imression to be in front of a Bontempi drgl. Twisting, I tell you. (Note: APRS rcouter be all this, I told him all found use of the same: using the pedals with caution, one can hold a low note. Convenient s 'brighten the top of the handle at the same time)

  Overall Opinion

  I have this little red machine for over a year, I believe (I have a memory of the trs prcis PERIOD during which I purchased, the days and months are similar ...).
  
  I use it with a Fender precision bass made in Mexico to save my little home-studio owners as composed as I am and I am satisfied with your exact.
  
  The report quality is just good prices because of the breath (but you can delete it). Outside has plutt is good. I Duoverb a home for my line 6 guitar, but I have not tried other simulation in Contents bass, so ...
  
  
  
  To conclude this little essay, I will need to use the ax10b sparingly to draw clean and sound convincing. Although Obviously, this means that almost nothing can not afford in the eq, but I think one should not condemn what pdalier: trs it is versatile and can really explore the world of bass for a budget tightened trs. Personally, it really opened my horizons in my use of the instrument. Just for a, and for the price, I put a good score. The three missing points have soared in the Tramontana.

  likouidsunshine's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Such, I would see the instruction because bcp too many options! But hey it's analog, not Noon. feed adapter or battery.
  
  you do have tons of effects possible, to some, but funny (the pitch) and you assign them to optionde pedal xpression!
  
  ATTENTION look at seemingly robust: ladies / gentlemen do not be fooled, this is NOT a metal housing of plastique.Ce but are not big pots of backpacker's vintage, but many widgets in plastoc.Cela reminds us of other "gadgets" ...

  Utilization

  A little complicated at first but we take the hand.
  
  But I bitterly regret a thing, why be satisfied with presets? the korg a5, for example, it has effects, but all their parameters, which gives real choice of son.Là, we are given a preset, of course, there peaucoup, but where is the difference with the zoom, or whatever you type an edit multieffet.pour liver WRITE it flashes, and a second time when we chose the bank's.

  Sound Quality

  This is the kind of toy you sound definition of food.
  
  Of course, there are tons of amp simulation, the opportunities pitsher note, flanger, phaser, chorus, everything you want, you end up déchanter.En do, in my opinion, we really benefits the headphone or using it as false amp is the amp simulation is justifie.Mais: listening closely? is unclear, but personnalité.En without listening? We see that this machine eats the sound again, and that the more we lose in chaleur.Donc, the better without.
  
  And then after I confirm thoughts of other musicians in the group who say they do not understand clearly the notes in the haze of compression, préamplis.Après, in terms of imitation amp, it could be interesting. .. must see .. there really sound différent.Et characters there are fun effects such as pitch, it is similar to a phase rotation expression pedal, and an imitation effect of feedback! guarder a note here and a false harmoique up this note with a swing that mimics a rotten feedback pfffff ... ....

  Overall Opinion

  In short, do tons of effects, you have them.
  
  But after?
  
  If it is to play with headphones or get sound in the computer, still happening, but frankly, as a multi-effect, I've seen better.
  
  I get rid of, but I did not pay, so I do not know, I'll pass that starts a cousin, something like that myself ... I keepe the memory of one or Tamagoshi the kind of electronic gadgets that are made for promotional release after months time ... it really is that!!
  
  Well, after up to you, but the good multi-effects, it still exists, do not just compromise Buy good sound!
  
  Good, and relativize least offer, I give you my opinion but this device can be a good precursor to explore the effects to begin with, and it is true that for me, one of my first multi-effects was the korg a5, and there we can manufacture its sound, adjust each effet.Ici, everything is pre-register, you can not be measured as intensity, and there is better accuracy level.

  firechris's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  An infinity of effects, amp simulation and expression pedal!
  
  see the technical manual! (Or I'll spend the night)
  
  
  
  basic but effective connectivity (with headphone jack for failing to plug the amp home!)

  Utilization

  Simple configuration, exept the programming of its own bank will require a few extra minutes on the record (light, but clear enough) ...
  
  
  
  sounds obtained are striking given the price of the beast!

  Sound Quality

  Effects and therefore very realitses quite impressive as long as the amplifier output is "correct" (yes, it does not do everything)
  
  
  
  used with SRX300 (IBAN) and the occasional stingray (happiness)

  Overall Opinion

  Uses recently I have not had time to walk around my little cepandant I already Favorites
  
  valve2 simulation, studio and jazz / u-vibe effect and flanger / pp dly the ambience!
  
  
  
  and of course to sound very fat during the blast .. the distooo!
  
  
  
  an excellent price quality ratio, although the box in plastoc not be appropriate to harnieux most of us (especially those who are also guitarists of violent ... it ...)
  
  
  
  So be careful on stage not to over crush the gear!
  
  
  
  a very good choice for small grants that veulentvarier the pleasures of the bass!
