UTILIZATION

Manual config and very easy ... is connected and ringing IMMEDIATELY
Rglages thanks for the 5 band eq (can sculpt the sound)
Small multieffect Alesis intgr (reverbs, delays, chorus) with per channel rglage
With a little practice you get clear sounds wonderful, ideal for an acoustic guitar strings steel or nylon, but also with a great archtop.

SOUNDS

I play many styles ... but every time I use an acoustic guitar on this amp is that I branch (gypsy jazz, folk, acoustic blues, French song).
This amp is also excellent for voice, well above its competitors EAR or others on this point, and will fill a guitarist singer.
Fill as a guitarist with many guitars and not wanting a versatile amp.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two years.
I like his versatility, his power and low weight (17.5 kg) compared his power ... its robustness, its looks and especially sounds that gets!

With exprience, I remake that choice without hesitating ...
even try to buy two to play in stereo (I saw a jazz guitarist with this config and its amazing silent) ...
