First: heavy amp! 23kg I think ... not easy to move ...
Robustness of buttons, a very good bill, and the mouth!
- What type of amplification (lamp, transistor ,...)?

Amplification transistor. Amplification tube should be avoided to amplify a guitar sound (heat lamps render its absent for an electric guitar but to present an acoustic guitar, no need to add more ...)

- What is the power delivered?

Power of 150W. And nothing wrong with power level! it sends!

- What connection?

* 1 microphone jack (XLR), can apply an effect
* 1 auxiliary input (RCA), can also apply an effect
* 2 doses skyscraper (a piezo, an asset). No possibility to connect two guitars simultaneously.
- What are the settings, effects ...?

* 99 effects of 10 different types. The effects are of variable quality, some very good. The setting of medium effects, however. Example: 20 different echo effects, except that the echo frequency is variable. An echo effect will have a rapid rate, the next a little slower, etc. ...
* A knob for adjusting intensity of the effect still exists (fortunately!)
* A quality 5 channel equalizer
* An anti-Larsen also quite effective manual (choice of frequency and intensity to mitigate the attenuation in dB)

I only takes 7 / 10 for features for several reasons:
* No possibility to apply different effects to different inputs
* Setting the effects a little stiff
* We can only guitar plugger

Otherwise for the rest, the quality is exemplary.

UTILIZATION

- The configuration is simple?

Setup is extremely simple. A little groping is necessary for proper use of anti-feedback, but it's coming soon

- Do you get easily a good sound?

Yes! This is my first amp and I never never part!

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

I have not had OCCAZ have the manual, but I've never felt the need

I put 9 / 10 for use

SOUNDS

- Will it fit your style of music?
I play mostly reggae, jazz and bossa. it suits me very well. A small effect for reggae and jazz, bossa nothing for.
I plug my keyboard also regularly top auxiliary jack and I am very pleased by repeating like that, with a nice little effect

- With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play?
I play mostly with ELECTROCLASS Esteve, the amp reproduces very well the color of his acoustic

- What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "fat ",....)?
I like the sounds very pure little or no effect (the halls I like very much).
Anyway, do not bother to hope for a machine with multiple effects and ultra electronics. This is an acoustic guitar amp, it does so admirably, the rest is not its role. Want to make a bold metal with this amp, go your way or you buy an effects pedal plugger top
- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
The Hall06 is particularly great
The echoes are pretty bof ....

I put 9 / 10 sounding

OVERALL OPINION

Overall opinion:

Excellent!

I use it for 1 year

Do not hesitate if you have 600 euros to an amp for acoustic guitar, take it! I had the OCCAZ test other amp in the same order of awards, including a compact I do not know what brand and quality of sound and the sound power were much worse. I play with repeated battery + bass + keyboard, I never really exceeded half the volume pot volume with quality and warmth of his copy.

His big flaw, the size and weight ... but detaches quickly: D

With experience, I would do without hesitation that choice

I put 9 / 10 in total
