«  A good transistor amp coupled with a reference! »

Published on 01/16/14 at 05:42
This is a 100 watts amp transistors, connectivity jack, normal. It has two channels (switchable clear in "overdrive" and another saturated switchable very saturated), reverb and a knob that selects a doubled by another (delay, chorus, flanger or chorus diluted) for assaying the effect effect . A button engaging the FDD, I never really understood what it was for, at least in the ear is not obvious in my memories. And two inputs for headphones and spend playbacks. A jack in and roll youth!

UTILIZATION

In itself this is quite plug and play, the pedal can change channels without having to fiddle with the amp, which is great. In terms of getting a good sound, it's still a transistor therefore without effects, I emmétrais a reserve on it. Fortunately there is an effects loop memory which will stall can be a preamp tube to heat the sound.

SOUNDS

The clean sounds are very slammin like a good transistor! However, they lack personality, crunch, it's a bit cold for me, but more defined than porridge that we use saturation! I do not even talk about the 2 saturation is too fat and bee to play something other than hard rock or grind, Contour allows still slightly sculpt the mids and keep a little porridge-like in respect to saturation, opening with punk styles, giving it a good definition if you force too much on the gain. It always lack of heat, but for the price you can not complain. The reverb is good however.

After my tour in Palestine, where I found myself with this backline, I added to it a ht-boost in the loop, and I managed to pull a good sound. So nothing is lost :)

OVERALL OPINION

I used it when I started in bands, its strong point is to be indestructible, not to fear transport and blows his weak point is to be transistors and not sound top . I forgot that if you have a drummer who hits hard, it may seem feeble, and the other side is too powerful for use in the apartment (with a "correct" its course). In short, a good amp to start a group, and finger (but not ears) Marshall legend (I now have a JCM 800 and JMP head Superlead MkII so I know whereof I speak at these amps).
