UTILIZATION

A 2 channel amp ... The classic lamp is very simple to use, the knobs of course affect the sound ... Even putting them all halfway was a good sound, there is more than a little tweaking.

It is super lightweight (14-15 kg) which is very nice!

SOUNDS

The grain itself is very good, the clean channel is very (too) and crystalline crunch similar to a Vox AC30. The problem is that as the amp is only 20W, it tends cruncher a volume of repeated playing of the agreements, which is very annoying if you want to sound "pure". 25-30W would have been perfect.

The distorted sound is very good, between Marshall and Mesa, with a gain of sufficient hard. But as he stated in an earlier opinion, the amp still has that shiny side. It has a nice sound, but there is always something at the top of the spectrum "pique" the ears ... Presence of a potentiometer can greatly mitigate this defect, but does not disappear completely. A good EQ effects loop can be?

Contrary to what some people say there is no deterioration of sound with the effects loop. You just have the levels are adjusted so that the sound is about as hard with and without the loop.

But as soon as the volume rises above the third, the receiver begins to vibrate, especially lamps, there is a dirty sound of glass, and it would spoil everything!

OVERALL OPINION

I put 3 because there is a big problem:

THIS AMP IS NOT RELIABLE! BUT THEN NOT AT ALL!

Already vibration problems, see the reviews on Harmony Central, there are other people who complain. Sounds recurring combos lights, wondering if it's really a good idea to put the lamps in the same box as the HP, with all the vibrations that will pick up ...

More importantly, after a few months my amp started to sizzle, a kind of foul crachottement its clear that appeared all the more quickly that the volume was strong. I took him to a benchmark rather than return to Germany because I had a gig in three days, it changed me lamps. Just before leaving concert was no different ... Reference to Germany in MusikProduktiv so they fix it, it is still the same problem. Brunetti reference in this time still the same problem at the reception ... Imagine the nerves ... Therefore I must be repaid in the near future (mention in passing the customer service from Musik Produktiv, always reachable and friendly!)

Also a member of Audiofanzine Brunetti speaks of his head he had made to repair, the repairman who said that Brunetti was unfortunate tendency to under-size the components, it is best not to push them over half the volume. Like so ... I will say though that I have rarely exceeded 6.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ... Well ... uh no ...
