Mine is one of the first and changes have been made.
UTILIZATION
On small scenes indoors or outdoors. On a level microphone or failing on a chair to place the amp author ears of the audience. No buttons, settings, or unnecessary accessories. No need. Phantom power supply incorporated.
Manual useless. On larger stages and only for the guitar, the sound engineer takes the output XLR-effects-before I made my sound back, he, his facade. No blurs. In fact, it is at this point in DI box and which box!
SOUNDS
For singing with neumann sm58 and 105 kms. Folk, blues, country, French chanson. Clear, clean and precise without being aggressive, a little roundness in the medium, and heat in the lower medium. Not really serious but suddenly no drooling and intrusive. Just enough for voice, guitar and EQ for room acoustics. The SM58 comes super well, removing the bass on channel-voice. The voice and the presence of the grain. I put a small compressor Boss on guitar and one voice (in moderation is not rolls). Especially on the voice that promotes good grades, it thickens a little sound (in moderation!) And it takes the flesh and the amp follows perfectly. We then just lower the level, the voice is right in front, balanced and the guitar clean, pretty, pretty. I find the reverb a bit long, but I do not know what it is on the newer models.
OVERALL OPINION
Mine is the first generation available in France: 1998. I think the brand has made some improvements on the effects. I've never had a single problem. The body has been beaten, but all is well protected, nothing more than that could break. The HP is well protected. I had played before on other amps, Roland, Marshall, Peavey. And even more recently. Nothing comparable. Its failure: it is a bit prescriptive. The ideal would be to add to it a satellite of the brand. For the guitar there may be other amps as well as or cheaper or better. But the voice I have neither found nor heard best in the genre. In a Neumann KMS 105. Ouawou! Phenomenal! I'm speechless!
