«  You see my son, that's a Fender amp »

Value For Money : Excellent
Return on all specificity of this combo seems unnecessary. My colleagues here have explained everything. It is in all-tube amp, modern, which derives its power from two 22w 6v6 and incorporates many features of the Fender amps of the big time. I, myself, a fan of amps with few controls and gris-gris, in my experience, it is almost always better served when only two buttons to rotate to change all that when you are six. This amp is no exception as we shall see later.

The finish did not seem spectacular. After opening my test model, I even tend to say that it cools slightly. A PCB with full cable, is a little messy. I regret the woodwork a little light that keeps me up on my amp when I crises fads. The finish not impressed me in anything, but do not make me feel bad.

UTILIZATION

In use, the simplicity of the controls allows for families to spend a lot faster than you love her. Yet it is not deprived of freedom in the choice. Everything sounds good and is quickly findable / configurable.

"I note however that sound great FORT 22W ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU WANT TO START THE CRUNCHER BESTIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUU!"

We are not at the critical stage of my Marshall heads, but the device shall not be construed with people who want to play in an apartment or have a / a girlfriend / are reluctant at their leisure. By-cons, it has its place in a group where he will speak, even in a pure clean to adequate.

The lack of effect loop fills me. But the only two onboard effects are démerdent perfectly.

SOUNDS

I make a deal ... haaaaaaaaaaaaa
I let a chord resonate ... hoooooooooo

Damn! It sounds great that little fender. Dynamics lies in the average single channel amps industry. We have seen better, but I know worse. His real strong point is the sound it offers panoramic scene.

Whatever your guitar, it offers, from clean to crunch, a wealth of easily attainable with a standard amp. In addition, the sound has a harmony and lightness that puts a tear in his eye. Especially with the channel effects can create beautiful tablecloths. The sound immediately adapts to the guitar / pickup / knob chosen / selected / rotated, which offers lots of beautiful sounds without touching its settings on the amp. I emphasize this point. I spent an Epiphone hollow body jazz, a Dean Flying V, a Gretsch White Falcon and a prs modern eagle through the amp. I have always received excellent sound. It's rare to have an amp that works well with everything. It's just beautiful.

The only two manquos for me were:
1) limited the side of saturation. It tends to have the lead, but do not want the road next to a Two Rock, Marsh Dumble clone or Carol-Ann OD2, are able to offer versatility (cleans with comparable course). But the price is not the same either, though (see next section)
2) some harsh harmonics between the transition from clean to crunch. That does not include false, this is done with a lot of liquidity, but something in the midrange sounded hard. I do not know if this is the horsepower or the cab file that causes this (see below)

Another negative point. The cab does that poorly digested 22w howling of the beast. The amp test tended to vibrate when I approached 6 to channel volume. that's boring, because, for the craziest of us, it will re-buy a cab to deliver quality in all (with weights and finance major).

OVERALL OPINION

... Indeed, in Switzerland, I have to almost 1500 euros to the bill. And marsh or carol-ann is just 500 euros more expensive. At the price usa however, nothing wrong. The machine is estimate to 1300 dollars, making the 1000 Euros. It's very good with the light tones.

That's a nice little Fender that will delight young and old with quality sound. I regret a little trim mean, that has nothing to do on this amp. It would also have earned a little less light-mail. But I think since the appearance of marks as Tube town, it is possible, without breaking the bank, to make high quality boxes.

It is rare that a car amp to touch many emotions. This is the case here. If you're interested, I can advise you.

EDIT: As stupid as it sounds, I was looking for a head version of this amp. Found at Fender, I turned to "Vintage Sound" who offered me a re-edition of the original model blackface PTP, for a price of 1400 euros. A test will be available soon.
