    A very good transistor amp

    so this is a 16watts transistors, spitting well for its size! a jack for the guitar, a headphone jack (very good point) and a line input for an mp3 for example, or a keyboard ... Very well designed shape! May lack an effects loop, but the reverb is.

    UTILIZATION

    AT level settings, it is on two channels (one for clean volume, gain and volume for the second drive), reverb and 3 band eq. You turn the knobs and drive Simone! No honestly it sounds transistor, but it works perfectly, it is very intuitive!

    SOUNDS

    It fits perfectly to play at home, its limited power and still large enough bowl to speak with good sound without the neighbors come knocking you :)

    SOUNDS

    It fits perfectly to play at home, its limited power and still large enough bowl to speak with good sound without the neighbors come knocking you :)

    It is equipped with the Celestion, and even if it is not a blue alnico that he was put in the ass, it had its effect (if you compare a 10 watt peavey for example ...)

    It complies with the sound of the guitar or the effect that it fits, then I can not put him 10/10, it remains the transistor and if I compare with lamps, there is still no picture!

    OVERALL OPINION

    It was my first amp, the value for money is really good, my neighbors thank me after it is not enough to play with a drummer, or he takes very good feedback!

    The reverb is if we put little after if it still looks like a bad reverb.

    I tried many amps since (10 years have passed since the purchase ...), but also the fact that it was my first amp and emotionally he is dear to me, I think it sounds good ( and I have always worked!)

    I got the Amp as a gift for my birthday, i don't how much it was and i needed it for practising the guitar

    I like the low, medium and high options so you can have rhythm blues or even lead blues. You can use the equlaizer button to turn it into a heavy metal guitar. The model can save money on FX Pedals.

    I wish it had more effects on it so you can do really good solo's. (but not a problem)

    It is a strong, almost unbreakable little Amp which is powerful and flawess.

    The best affordable AMP of the year.

    OVERALL OPINION

    16W transistor amp

    Strengths: strong, simple rglage, rverbe, 120, between guitar + between auxiliary, disto funny

    Cons: quality of rverbe average background noise dsagrable, bad speaker that the low cash

    broadly: a good amp rptition, exercise, but that really limits this use - the 16W can not be achieved with some rglages the scne is unthinkable (for any fawn, with 16W, the scne .....) and the background noise prohibits enregistrment.

    UTILIZATION

    Trs simple config (legalization three bands: normal))
    good sound is easily obtained without pushing the volume up and play like crazy but even if the level of distortion is not too lev as one increases the volume!
    ... and a manual trs clear! (Same with the two-prsence troois spelling mistakes ...;))

    SOUNDS

    This amp is very well for the style of music I play now: alternative rock.
    I played with a Cort X2 ...
    We get a good sound is the qu'elque rglage (without EXAGRES of course!) But the manual is clear trs the top!

    Even if I'm not trs j'espre express my opinion that you will be convinced!

    A simple amplifier of 15W. Plutt done to the apartment. In the concerts, you will soon be covered by the drummer. Yet I, in my room, a quarter of its power, it breaks dj ears. So I dare not even imagine back!
    It has a intgre distortion, reverb and three buttons trs useful (low mdiums, acute)

    UTILIZATION

    Amp really simple, not fat.
    The use, there's no more simple: you have to turn the knobs!

    SOUNDS

    Trs sound average. It is a low-end amp so he offers us a breath strong enough in distortion (fortunately, I have a breath in my rducteur effects pedals).
    The distortion is ugly, finally, too simple, not trs brilliant, boring ...
    Advice, buy yourself a pdalier effects …

    The distortion is ugly, finally, too simple, not trs brilliant, boring ...
    Advice, buy yourself a pdalier effects (Zoom brand or Vox) or distortion pedals (Ibanez and Vox), because you will not last long with this distortion.
    Otherwise, the amp has a good clean sound.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had two years and I'm not mcontent, from the quality of sound, I see no other weaknesses. It is not expensive, so, may be nice to have one. But, well, I certainly m'achterais another amp one day.

    SOUNDS

    With a poor guitar unmarked, we arrive Always draw QQC .. not bad for beginners what ...
    the reverb quickly shows its limits, it is that there's about 300 when rotated 30 enough for him

    OVERALL OPINION

    I lay for two three weeks
    most is its price, 70! gift is simply (and more over I was with a cord, then j'tais all happy lol)
    with exprience, we do not remake this choice, you take a better, Obviously, but in another life, if you give me the opportunity, may be I get it back , rather than buying a Marschall works no better (even if it's hardly comparable to 15w)

    Just one thing, if you fatigus your well, or drunk, or otherwise, on the block Avoid weaving in front!
