«  very good quality / price ratio »

Value For Money : Excellent
it is not light, there is just a simulation Warmth Adjustable correct enough.
I opened and dismantled the HP:
Behringer 2 HP 8 "30W 8 ohms and a Japanese brand tweet america no ref
So, Behringer announced 2x60W: this is wrong: we 2x30w stereo.
at connections and adjusting, I have not seen more complete.

the body is solid is not the AGLO, it's super thick MDF, those who have already cut will understand that it's solid, nothing to do with the chipboard or CP. So it is heavy: 22kg

UTILIZATION

The config is super simple, the two bands are well separated and have their own setting.
the 3-band EQ on each channel are very effective.
side guitar knob the attack is very useful
the 48v phantom power is a good plan, the enhancer adds these high harmonics, not bad.
the amp simulation is common to both channels, you need a good level at the entrance to the trigger, it simulates a light amplifier and adjustment is effective.
the big positive: 2 adjustable notch filter on each channel anti larsen
it's been four notch at all!
+ A phase shift between guitar and another on general release.
So the amp is ok to serve really back foot bath

inserts for each channel will be very useful given the built-in effects ...
idem master 2 insert (left and right)

SOUNDS

power: Aside from the lie Behringer, it is a 2x30w + tweeter.
power can be sound with good guitar and voice in a bar or even outside, I tested, juqu'à 10-15m is ok (no wind)
we ship as a AS50.

the sound quality is above and laney Carlsbro, and below EAR (another budget, lol!)

Note that I just bought my own hand and that he lived, and pumped a little moisture in a basement, so the cardboard membranes are not perfect ...
I think the change in time, and I am looking for what HP the Marshall AS50 which is mounted on the same principle 2x8 "+ a Tweet.

So, I would say the sound is just a blur (+ tests micro scratches), but again and laney Carlsbro are much lower side.

negative: the effects section. between latency and quality change effects this may be acceptable to the animation, but the Zique is not great. they would have done better to just put a REV and a chorus, or even stick a compressor on the voice ...
Finally, to repeat, so good.
Now, considering the price and services rendered, even without the effects, they can not beat this amp.
you can plug a pedal sound like AX3A, personal rendering is very good.
and an external effect for voice, then I'll buy a gizmo hand and coming back to you.

I went to 8 because of the effects, but frankly, even if there were not this amp would be worth.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall, this amp is right, what we put loose, then we can color a lot with the EQ, enhancer, the attack, the Warmth.
the notch filter 4 are a huge job in foot bath to test, I got up to 7 / 10 to the master with guitar (no cache rosette) and Shure Unisphere for singing without feedback. and I was sitting!

connections, the auxiliary adjustable facade, the tape in and out ...

the default are: the effects and weight and it's always a little unnerving to buy something supposedly so that two 2x60W HP 30w each in it.
but hey, they had to give effective and not W RMS ... ;-)

go, just to infuriate the pro-mark, pro-art.
I tried an AER Alpha before taking this one:
Sound power is the same carefree, provided to test the same condition (high or the ground), medium and treble very nice ... total lack of bass on the aer, I immediately saw, I do my rhythmic finger (thumb) and I tend to make a dull sound on the body, the aer, it does not come at all ...
the bass is actually the compressed medium low tone in the bass disappears. and the beast has no anti feedback, which frankly they laugh at € 700 without an unfortunate notch! use return impossible, hello feedback box.
