This is a 75W transistor amp dot an HP Celestion 12 "capable of receiving percussion sounds (beat box) or a source CD / MP3. The amp simulates clbres 12 amps which can reproduce the legendary sounds of the history of the electric guitar. He also has seven effects (chorus / flanger / phaser / tremolo / delay / tape echo / sweep echo (but no wah) .At level connectivity c 'is the happiness between electric guitar, guitar or bass + auxiliary XLR microphone, CD / MP3 Also this amp includes 400 presets artists or songs clbres 100 jam tracks with battery. or without accompaniment by tural musicians in a wide variety of styles (from pop to metal, through the country, rock ballads, jazz etc.) Recording loops up to 14 minutes overlay tracks (loop).
Rglage possible to the tempo of the drum and the height of jam tracks (indicating the tonality in this case). Very accurate built-in tuner.

USE

I reu my amp before nol. We arrive to dpatouiller although the manual reading is well advised to take advantage of all fonctions.L'utilisation is not complicated, the button panel appears generous at the beginning but gradually taking its repres to eg refining the sonority of an acoustic guitar branch or to a CD source. I branch above my laptop via a 3.5mm finished 6.5 (Adapter): excellent. The electric guitar CD I make very well even without forcing the volume. The manual is well done, clear and not overly technical. The DIFFERENT trials to judge the quality of the sounds with my Godin Triumph (3 single mic noise rduction / solid mahogany body) rather gives me satisfaction. The "clean" sounds are beautiful and I gradually introduces me to "metal" sound and "insane" with a strong distortion. Surprennants to departure for me as a novice but there is got faster! The prsets (400) offer a very wide ventail potential of this amp (eg there are the sounds of "Roxane" Police, "Purple Rain" by Prince, "Hotel California" by the Eagles) c is not bad at all even if the simulations tube amp (like the Line 6 Spider Valve) are even more compelling.

SONORITS

As dbutante guitar (two-year course) but as 12 years in music, I was looking for an amp that allow me to have access ventail a beautiful sound without ttonner 2 years .dropoff window From this point of view the result is managed to! I plan to play mostly the variety of pop, jazz, hard rock solos few old (Scorpio), rock. I think I made a good choice because I easily get the rglages I want. I have to get used to the handling of parameters DIFFERENT to be really able to carve entirely sound but will come with time. As indicated prcdemment the Clean / twang sounds are excellent I think. I miss a step back to try "crunch" sound, "Mtal" or "insane" but for my current level is satisfactory, the distortion is good despite the fact that my guitar is endowed 3 single pickups. has works well when even. However, I note a hard time getting a sound like "solo 80s", can be do to my guitar.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for a year, I started well tame even if it left to me to discover functionalities. I like initiating the "loop" function which allows to overlay tracks repeatedly, the impressive variety of sounds, multiple auxiliary entries. What seems more limited means: 1) having operated on the facade recording tracks (you have to go fast) of the crankset Contrle could be int gr in a pack: I just order one (FBV Express) 2) connecting an electronic percussion above (10 HandSonic type) is perilous (risk of saturation), I invested in an adapted amp. on the other hand apparently running very well with rhythms boxes (dmo on the net); 3) the change of tempo leads that of tonality (one would think have the choice to work its ranges).

This is great: 1) real jam tracks (musicians) in diffrentes tonalities to work improv and ranges; 2) comfortable initiating the history of rock music through prsets, 3) The power and versatility.

For all these reasons I think I have done purposively choice and MDIT for dbutante. The price quality ratio is correct. Very good product, I think advisor to beginners and / or those who want amateur scene quickly call a multitude of sonorits diffrentes although the Spider Valve lamps is convaicant. When I have toured the tracks jams, also very stimulating to the imagination, I orienterai to a tube amp for a more profound, but it is not tomorrow the day!
