    The config is UUUUUUULLLLTRAAAA SIMPLE!!
    you turn the knob and it sounds live!! with bright switch and low-mid pushing the musical panel ever!

    SOUNDS

    Is it your style of music?
    he plusss agree that it is perfect! I play metal and alt frenchement it has punchy in the belly! we even surprised his clean MORE than adequate for a High Gain amp!

    What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold", ....)?

    We can have it all! in clean: crystal-round slamming dirty!
    in distortion we can go blues (slight overdrive) big metal disgusting well without any worries!

    I use an ESP Horizon FR II reverb and chorus ESPECIALLY! A MXR M108! A TUUUURIE coupled to the amp!

    OVERALL OPINION

    How long have you use it?
    I used it for almost a year

    Have you tried many other models before buying it?
    I played on marshall JVM Bugera 333 XL and Line 6
    Mesa boogie tested rectify
    frenchement and ... nothing happens to the ankle Laboga!

    What is the particular feature you like best and least?
    ca ease of use. least, it is ultra heavy ...

    How would you rate the quality / price? With experience, you do again this choice?

    ola but the day and night with another amp of the same Trampe! it is downright cheaper than its competitor! having nothing to their envy! ca and this is the top!

    I remake this choice without hesitation!! I got 700 euros OCCAZ as you say you'll never have this quality elsewhere with the same price!

    SOUNDS

    At first glance, this amp is calibrated metal, hard rock, aesthetics reflected!
    A distortion of origin sends severe attack to fall. Being a big fan of distortion I'm not a big fan by the unique distortion coming off the amp. on the other hand, when you connect a blackstar HT DISTX, then .... BUT HIS PATIENT. It's simple, I have never been so attached to a distortion. This marriage is genial. The receiver supports excellently distortion pedals so this is just a killer.


    However when we know that there is this amp all styles of music can be played, if you know the master amp (which is a prerequisite rather simple). When I pushed the door of the music store from home, the seller told me he used this amp only for clean. I was so perplexed by this bluesman pure juice. But when I plugged the Fender American Deluxe, I understand. One approaches the piezo (yes I do not mess). A clean lens like this should be banned! This is a big surprise. Test and see! This aspect is then give this amp a big advantage.
    Versatility rarely found in this range of tube amplifier.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use this amp for almost three years. Despite buying a Mesa Roadking I never thought of myself as a separate benefit that offers its dynamics are significant.
    What makes me hallucinate this is how this amp is versatile as it is well calibrated METAL basic nag the Behemoth or Dagoba.

    I used to play Telecasteriennes walks, and play Metal with a nice fat 7 string ... Opposed styles but are right knob!

    For 1555 € not hesitate. The mesa to worry, amps of this quality handcrafted in the European territory it throws more than the U.S. Remache ^ ^

    What art you expect? Go for it! (Remember to go through against the side of the pedal reverb ...)

    UTILIZATION

    Okay so what about this pretty little head has personally it is terrible that the equalization is interested, find the drinking is easy but having a common equalization imposes sacrifices between clean and distortion (like most the head in the same case for that matter). the finish is very good (the badge has a Laboga which can carton).

    SOUNDS

    So I play mostly metal and this head is perfect for the super grain is the gain goes well not bother to put a background (I play a personal one can more than half is already giving her a big sound).
    then I clean ba aps a specialist but it is very simpa and cruncher can do that if you walk up the gain.
    by the distortion is terrible against a can in the line of a 5150 grain which are not found everywhere.

    OVERALL OPINION

    For me, frankly I find very good finisher as the appearance and the price is € 1125 pleasure all the head lights with a big gain crazy that you ask for

    UTILIZATION

    Config:
    Extremely simple

    Sound:
    Yes, good advice whether cel sounds good, all rglez noon (middle) and then just add bass, mdiums, treble your convenace

    Manual:
    There is no manual, but no need to cel. With this amp, it's the simplicity and efficiency!

    SOUNDS

    It should seek to mtaleux amp lamp, powerful and effective, easy to use and produce more powerful sound

    I use this amp with a ESP viper, but also works with other guitars you know!

    Sound:
    Clean: Its crystal-clear, smooth and harmonious. Just missing the reverb to the sound agrmenter an enchanting touch.

    ... INTERESTED which we all, the DISTO:
    Dpendant of rglages, Mr Hector the head produces a fairly saturated fat and a wish. Pipelines Limited for this amp and have had under the "hood". It feels ds Premire Notes cheeks.
    A lot of his monstrous bte ... a single shot mdiator means, this amp is truly exceptional!

    Sound:
    +
    A real say I love all the sounds of this amp. I vary my styles like my rglages jous. I can go from a super aggressive rglage rglage a softer (to do some solos, for example)

    -
    There is no - except that no reverb!!

    OVERALL OPINION

    Features:

    +
    All!! really a great amp!

    -
    ... there are no less!

    Other tests:
    I tried Marshall, Mesa, Hughes & Kettner ... I found them very complicated and its n'tait was something not matching with what I was looking for. With Hector's friend, I found my little happiness.

    Report QualitPrix:
    Correct for the range of the amp. It is cheaper than a Mesa or Peavey but works just as well (if not better!)

    Choice:
    Yes, definitely!

    level connectivity
    then two guitar input hight / low, a footswitch between a line out XLR output, speaker output into 16 ohms, two outputs and two 8 4 ... an effects loop send / out, that n is not adjustable, too bad.

    This amp has no reverb but you can compensate with a digital reverb with boss for example.

    I put 8 because of the four common and reverb, but these are really dtails.

    UTILIZATION

    The Laboga Hector is an amplifier designed primarily to fans of the distortion, the big win and her fawn "kick ass" (pardon my language) jazzeux friends, blues go your way, this Designed for the head is mtal, hardcore and other music style ncessitant a disto muscle. This receiver temperatures requiring widen a bit mninges order to obtain the four ITS is simple, but with the bright mid scoop and a more correct mode diodes, increases the possibilities. After a few easily obtained rglages a good disto aggressive, sharp and prcise, the clear sound personal I used to see little but trs correct, to approach some one bassmanen least typ.

    I put 9 because there is not much to say about the possibilities of her so there a. ..

    SOUNDS

    The clear sound

    according rglages, we get a pretty clear its not completely crystalline, but with much lower round, some heat transfer by the lamps. I plug my boss chorus ch 1, I sound sanitarium live!

    sound saturbr />
    the main strength of this amp

    disto aggressive, sharp, prcise, with a gain of death, I begin the sixteenth and laughed less, a slayer metallica, The Black Dahlia Murder, As I Lay Dying and other groups in the accabit, sends a trssvre and bury everything I've tried before (marshall, randall, peavey line 6 ...) is approached from a mesa, a krank, in short we play in the course of the ages!

    I play the channel distortion and I find dmoniaque! go 10.

    OVERALL OPINION

    APRS the pile of amps that I had, I found the pearl without ruin me (800 Ocassion) so if you are looking for sturdy, heavy and especially of the distal trs powerful n'hsitez most is for you Hector ... As against c adnicher rare in France because it is a small Polish company that produces 300 amps and amp heads year, and baffles 100 a year ...

    If c'tait a remake would have your eyes closed! report quality award, the 1490 head and the baffle 950, compared to a mesa or a krank and saw the quality is far from theft!

    go 9 / 10 pasque it's hard to find one.

    - What are the rglages the effects? ...
    As the majority of head lamps, there is no effect. Rglages level, we have two channels (bright, saturated), a common EQ, a gain for the clean, gain and volume for the drive, switchable two masters at the base, a switch to push the medium ( IDAL to break into a mix) and a bright switch for clean. There is also a correct mode diode or tubes. That's a lot of possibilities ...

    9 / 10 for the EQ common.

    UTILIZATION

    - The configuration is it simple?
    Ouiiiii! And it's a big advantage of this amp. some say too simple but I fits me superbly.

    - Gets it easy to sound good?
    Oh yes my little. This amp is made to sound. It may sound stupid words like that but it becomes scarce All knob mid Sounds of thunder. After it can vary with multiple rglages ls and without taking the head is going round and clean of clean hot and cold crystalline. ditto for the distortion.

    - The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
    And they do not y 'shame!

    SOUNDS

    - Is it your style of music?
    Yeah! I mtal east but open to all styles. For mtal for me it crushes a Mesa dual recto. The clean is a bit better on the mesa and again ... say that it depends on the guitar! The Laboga the particularity to have a trs trs recognizable typ 1000. We like it or not.

    - With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play?
    I play with an ESP Eclipse but I have test with strata, and a PRS vioger after the pass is not there trs long The picture is not the choice of the scraper is essential. For effects, I use a rack TC ELECTRONIC G-FORCE.

    - What kind of sound you get and with what rglages ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
    Mode tubes, we have a fairly clean his lens, the more "typquot; Fender. Nikel for small flight of blues.'s My clean prfr! In crunch ca littralement hard! ! I have never seen that for a typical high gain amp. It's crunch superbly. I will not speculate too much by saying it is one of the best crunch with whom I jou. MYTHICAL! In distortion on the path of heavy metal stars of the 70 'and 80'. It's good! It plays easily AC / DC, Pink Floyd or other groups of the era.

    Mode LED is going out the heavy artillery, the modern in all this splendor. By clean we have something quite round, nikel jou to jazz but lacks a bit of prsence. but let's say it announces the result, a clean trs powerful! In crunch is not bad at all, nothing to do with the way tubes but IDAL to play the muse or radiohead! All you push the gain a half of the race knob ... WOW! So we end up with a crazy sound. How to describe it? it's so typical so original, unique in fact. It is a sound (a mid knob) less fat than a mesa, less than a right ENGL, Diezel also prcis a ... in short, a compromise standard input market leaders. And the gain ... ahhhh, well I rvais I! A test of emergency and adopt.

    - What are the sounds you prfrez, you dtest?
    As mentioned above I juggle the two modes but my prfr remains the diode ca disto unusual.

    10/10 because frankly it's high art

    OVERALL OPINION

    - How long have you use it?
    It's going to make two good months, about 2 hours a day.

    - What is the particular feature you like best and least?
    Assets:
    + Grain truly unique, it is not in the copy of another amp
    The reserve of gain +
    + Crunch really the norm for this type of amplifier
    + Clean the tubes fairly convincing fashion
    + Sensitivity of the pots
    + Mode 50/100W
    + The correct
    + Switch the mid and bright (but I is not spoken to vary the sound nikel)
    + I probably forgot ...
    + Price

    Cons:
    + EQ unique
    + Two channels? (Yeah we want more tjr)

    Some less good but considering the price will be ca flight of the Mr Laboga than asking all this for the same price!

    - Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
    Yes: Mesa, Diezel, Bogner, krank, ENGL, Line 6, etc.. A little all brands, in fact!

    - How do you report qualitprix?
    There's no better € 1150 the head I do not see what more! Laboga delivered with a cable (very good by the way) and a t-shirt!

    - With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
    Yes no hsiter!

    9 / 10 for some p'tits dtails but frankly for that price is inflated to lower the note Laboga thank you!
