«  A little disappointed »

Hybrid amplifier with 30W attenuator
- Ten amp simulation
- Reverb, delay, chorus, phaser, wah
- Equa: bass, mid, treble
- Volume and gain

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration for which the choice of amplifier, gain, volume, equa. Many possible configurations.

The adjustment effect is more complex as is possible with two buttons I think.

Easy to achieve good sound anyway, especially with the power attenuator.

SOUNDS

It happens to have a lot of sounds with the simulation:
- Nice clean sounds, although far from a fender blues junior or a Vox AC15.
- The crunch: it works well on all that is Marshall.
- Distortion: bof for all that is high gain.
I use mainly clean and with the marshall.

I find it very low and suddenly the sound is "dark". Difficult to get crystal clear sound. Likely that the speaker is there for something and my little playroom

I also find that push a little volume allows for a more "homogeneous", if the bass predominate.

Tested with a lag roxanne RS1000 and a schecter 006.

OVERALL OPINION

I tried a lot of models in the same price range and it is true that it was not bad.

Today for the same price range (about 300 €) we find all low-power lamps and I can not do it again the same choice. Indeed, while the sound of a lamp is incomparable, especially with speakers of the same size as the VT30.

The advantage of the hybrid for me is to have a wide range of sounds, with adjustable volume. And no messy cables between the pedals, ... For home, while the 15W lamp above is redundant (the marshall class 5 (5W) is too powerful for use in apartment ...).
