Other CF notice or site. In this opinion, I will try to answer the many questions related to the excitement generated by this small head lamps available at prices of a distortion pedal. The interest of this notice is to highlight the real qualities of the head, but also its voluntary limits that might thwart the most modest budgets hoping to find a tube amp to do everything on the cheap.

USE

It can not be simpler: 3-band EQ, volume ... We turn up the volume to cruncher. It is the strength and limits of this amp: Versatility is not his forte, in the sense that it can not move from metal to jazz in a channel change. Here the single channel is versatile, clear sound with the volume at 9am, nice distortion with volume background with a guitar equipped with humbuckers we arrive at a fairly beefy distortion, good for hard rock, power rock, punk, hard core reason not ... BUT no metal, since this is a recurring issue. Sound, next topic.

SOUNDS

We are in the presence of a very nice little amp, grain reminiscent of a Marshall Plexi (for those to whom the brand is scary, it is one of the best models of the brand). With a moderate volume, the clean sound is quite thick, but not really crystalline correct, british. Those who absolutely want a Fenderien grain can go their way. It gets a nice crunch as the volume goes up, we start to hear the sound cruncher, the intensity of the game with the right hand (I mean that there scratching lefties friends ropes!) Plays a lot on this. Volume background, one can get an intense distortion, as long as we play with a guitar equipped with humbuckers. For simple microphones is necessarily less strong. I find the relatively tight grain ... The equalization plays its role without being very versatile. Important: 5 watts prove particularly by increasing the number of speakers. Try a 4x12, it's amazing ...

NOTICE GLOBAL

This tube amp is a good amp, good in terms of price. Now we need to put it into context: it is addressed to me guitarists who know what they want in terms of sound, ie a small amp for obtaining a grain distortion characteristic powers of lamps that saturate .dropoff window A great little amp with regard to the price, which is far from knowing everything, because of the absence of such an effect and obviously gain loop ... for those who rely more on their fingers and their volume knob guitar on the 12 channels of their amp to qualify their game to take everywhere for endless jams!
