«  Power and Reliability »

Published on 12/04/10 at 23:41
Amp transistors with a correct connection:
Entries in, switch, loop and output hp.
Announced power 120W
A clear channel equalizer with classic low, middle and treble
2 channels with separate gain swichables saturated, 3-band EQ and Shape.

UTILIZATION

No manual. Clear-air configuration
For saturated channels is a bit more complicated at first. It fumbles around with the gains of two channels, but you end up finding what we seek.
For the price, it gets heavy.

SOUNDS

To clean is clean ....
The reverb is interesting but do not push too much treble.
The clean sound can be very good if we utlise a good scratch.
With a Jazzmaster is bluffant.Si I take my Flyin V, is happiness.
In full, it's a bit more complicated: the first channel and crunch but just a little dirty with the gain pushed beyond 5.
The second channel sends a heavier distortion, covered that fully respects the sustain of the guitar (if it a. ..).
The HP is quite straightforward and is placing himself in front gives a direct collateral damage: the feedback. It is therefore advantageous to carry a cord longer than 3 meters to avoid this disadvantage.
It's not perfect but nothing is really bad. Again, it's about value for money: at this stage is good.



OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years, alternating with a series peavey TransTube an attack 80 of Hugues & Kettner All Tube and a carvin.
It comes second after the choice of course but carvin size shorts the first 2 cities.
I play with a drummer enough guts and a keyboard that has a tendency to turn up the volume.
Volume 5, I cover both. is the main reason for this choice: the power is there.
Associated with a Digitech RP 355, I have access to all the sounds I want.
Note swicht a box with 2 buttons to switch to mix the 4 effects:
Clean, SAT 1 and 2 and reverb.
In summary: Power, good sound and reliability of the brand.
In time, competitors would be the fender 212, 1000 and performing rock pro.
For my part, it is better.
I would buy the same price.
