novo2010 « A little gem »
Published on 04/08/13 at 06:17It is a transistor amp 7 watts with a 6.5-inch hp.
A battery or mains (adapter supplied).
It simulates a bunch of amps and effects.
Connection usual headphone, to (or other mp3 player).
The fundamental point: USB port to connect to the computer and set everything with the very successful (and free) software Fender Fuse.
A metal handle is supposed to tilt the amp. Good idea, except that it is not maintained in this position and the amp breaks routinely face ... Not that serious!
It is very pretty, as you have noticed, but what is more annoying for a mobile receiver is that it is also very fragile (coating peeling off, no metal corners, etc.).
UTILIZATION
This is an amp that is designed to be configured with the computer. Very easy and intuitive. Then you can always touch the physical buttons, but this is more mysterious. It may seem inconvenient, but we made it: when we found two three sounds that suit his guitar, set great and all, why tamper with physical settings?
SOUNDS
This is the strong point. This is impressive, especially at low volume (ie use at home). It's realistic and even, it is beautiful.
In addition, no breath, an entry for quite convincing as the headphone output is quite impressive.
He is doing well in all registers. Good test is the overdrive, often crying over this kind of amp. La, we believe it is ...
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for several months. As I do not live in an isolated house in the vineyard (Bordeaux), it replaced my 5 watt tube amp, yet excellent, but so impractical.
Its main competitor is the vox mini 3. The vox is more rustic: you can put it kicks in when you're upset, but it is significantly less good for sound (breath sounds synthetic). Ditto for the Roland mini cube.
So unless your project this summer is to play the markets with a group of punks, there's no hesitation: the Fender Mini is a gem.
