    Technology flexwave crate with a simulated tube amp and a tuner handy

    I put 8 because there is no equalizer on the channel solo

    UTILIZATION

    - The configuration is simple?
    use very simple not even need the manual provides for quick sound (in any case seen the 7 man pages ^ ^)

    - Do you get easily a good sound?
    yes and very soon

    - The manual is clear and sufficient?
    not need manual, but otherwise it is clear and cons provides little explanation

    SOUNDS

    - Will it fit your style of music?
    I play everything and it is very suitable for almost any style but it can be a bit feeble on the metal if it has no distortion at hand, otherwise very good for blues and rock of the 70's. According to jazz I have no idea I do not listen and did not practice this style.
    - With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play?
    I played with a white Hagstrom Swede and a boss ME20

    - What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "fat ",....)?
    channel is very nice solo into overdrive and is really good for blues, blues rock, I like less when you push the bottom shape because I find that the sound becomes cold. Clear Channel is very nice, and arpeggios sound good.
    Special mention for the reverb is very good and I find that self wah!
    cons by some other effects have almost no interest or are downright unusable because there is only one level of command to resolve

    8 because of the shape and some effects

    OVERALL OPINION

    - For how long have you been using it?
    I had this amp for my birthday two years there and I do not regret that choice.

    - What thing do you like most/least about it?
    After using a battery behind I found myself ac a breath of important HP! attention to this. I do not know if it's a pb of this model or series, because I have no holes owner, or other reviews of this crate. (I am considering a change in HP so I like the sound of this amp to give you an idea)
    Otherwise I love the solo channel mode Overd and the overall sound of this amp, power strong enough to jam an ac battery, a small concert or repeat them at home and especially the reverb.

    - Did you try many other models before getting this one?
    I try marshall dfx30 I typed too found a fender g25 that I found too soft or a line6, very good in the effects but I did not like

    - What is your opinion about the value for the price?
    very good value for money

    - Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
    yes I would do this chosen without hesitation but I would buy it other than Bauer orleans opas who has wanted to resume the HP pr change one month after the end of the warranty.
    if I change, it will be for an amp to almpe and I do not even think of selling it somewhere else, j'acquererais only other amp (it's nice to dream)

    I put the DB 9 for HP
