All user reviews for the Schertler Unico II

I use this amp sound for two months for singing (sm58) and guitar (electro-ac ovation cc157). Amplifier 185 W RMS bi-amplified.
3 Channels. 4-band EQ for voice, for channel 3 + Dyn presence (planned for a guitar with cell Schertler Dyn-G, or a second voice), 3 for the channel + Warm Stat. (See website for Schertler more info). Corrections effective, but it takes time to fine tune ultimately very sensitive. I preferred the scalloped pots, although very pleasant to the touch they move too easily for transport and brush the top of the box, to protect or handle with care.
The sound: power, heat, clarity, transparency. I did not have it all in this small cube. Better than the EAR compact60.
The reverb seems initially puzzling situation but is ultimately effective. We feel it is material to last with an exceptional sound quality for this category and who knows how to fix it, I can not get enough. I might have preferred a reverb
Digital to slip by so few to time delays, but above all a sense amp sound reproducing natural sounds. And that side is the top. It's just a pity it is much more expensive in France and abroad, will each according to his budget. For a young person who begins p'tit it's a cheap amp but the quality is not comparable to a ACX1000 Berhinger example of which is a machine breath.
Rated power, I have not had the opportunity to help push down, I always had the margin at the moment (much room). For me the price / quality ratio is excellent.
I would put 9 / 10 just for this story knob reverb and "unique".

Hello, This amp is just great !!!!!!

Aquis I have this little gem to add sound to a voice and a guitar to my group

It has been only 3 days I use it already, but it smells good .... trs

So first of all it is really small, it is ideal to transport, the weight is reasonable but it looks like a trs compact block of granite, the esthetic aspect is actually not that bad, I start m I find it beautiful.

"I had a little before carlsbo 30W so the change is radical, what strikes most is the transparency of sound and performance of the enclosure, you do not lose a crumb of the original signal (PURE CLASS A)

The sound is simply magnificent, a dynamic and clarity that I did listen before
The bass and lower midrange is impressive given the size of the machine, the top spectrum is also fully implemented by the bi-amping. The correction that we can bring are a formidable efficiency.

It's actually a real hifi speaker, who am fond of fi (Micromega, Kef ...) I can tell you that it is largely the way this little affair Swiss branch of an iPod is enormous, more need hi-building exudes solidity except knob which can be a bit tight, the rest is top.

The voice is as beautifully delivered by the beast. the reverb is destabilizing to beginners because it is a real spring reverb on 3 voice sound is different, but with a few hours you get used to COSTS trs trs trs well ...

staining is absent, the sound is just faithful to the souce, so he forgives nothing at stake and voice the slightest imperfection is amplified. For the instrument is the same, do not feed it with a guitar approximate

the number of permits many things, the possibility of guilt with another speaker (Schertler side) is are to remember, I think I would do in a few months of his colleague the acquisition (SIDE ) for a sound of hell, a rare class. All for a ridiculous size, and price quite acceptable if we take all parameters into account:

small footprint
Very practical to transport
Trs simple SING (single element, no wiring, plug, trapping ca!)
Exeptional sound (pure, vibrant, crystal-clear or warm after correction
Modular
A mind-blowing power for the size

What the great class !!!!!!!!!!!

The Swiss course !!!!!

I use it for a week!

I had Carlsbro, Marschal acoustic, hip also sound, mackie table with good hp ...
I have good stuff!
But that's to die for! I never heard anything like it! It is clear, precise, punchy, there's nothing better! No staining, not as a Carlsbro.
Reverb classy and clean!
I just paid 500 euros the beast! For the price, do not see anywhere else!

I play a Takamine electro tan10 pfouuu ...! She never sounded like that! It's killer! I immediately thought: 's it, I found the sound of big concerts!

Et .. my friend seeks accordionist ... 6 years since a proper amp to sound its chroma MIDI accordion. She found it!
When she saw the tiny amp in the beginning, she smiled! Then it is connected to the puta ... .. these low! I still have not understood or they could go out! ING IM is PRE SSIO! Suddenly, she was piqued and I'll buy another emergency!

Honestly, before you buy anything, even 10 times more expensive, try this gear! Really! Do not miss bored ... I do not write this description for anything! It really bleuffé! On all the amps I tried, indeed, there are some that sounded good, but I swear this is not comparable!

If there are some who do not live far from home, he wrote me, I'd try them, I am in Haute-Loire.

My email: partirdemain@gmail.com

It's been 25 years since I played in bar, on stage throughout the millieux ... I never seen such!

The least ... With the guitar, nothing! I mean, I have not seen anything bad.

With the accordion, I found the power limit. If my friend plays with it ... you need a transplant try tomorrow in concert.

Balez!

OVERALL OPINION

I have known this amp for about four years now (the upgraded version 2 came out about two years ago). Schertler is a small Swiss company specializing in pickups for acoustic instruments. Making good amps for such an application was the logical next step and it really makes sense to look at pickup systems for acoustic instruments as one unit consisting of amplifier and pickup.

The Unico really sounds great and the EQ settings give you a lot of tweaking potential. Often these euqalizers are laid out so they can cut frequencies quite well but are not very good at enhancing the sound. I have compared it to AER and the Roland AC-60 and it beats both of them. If you are looking into amplifying your nylon string gutiar then AER or the David (by Schertler) are very nice options as well. But for steel string guitar you need more punch in the low mids and more dynamic headroom.

These combos are not very cheap - but they are well worth the money. There are a few functions that Schertler has incorporated which are more specific to their pickup systems (10V Power supply, resonance filter) and can be confusing if you don't know the unit.
The weight might be a bit of a problem for some people - I still think it is quite portable. If you like the sound but would like to have a more 'generic' outline then check out SR Technologies (I think they are from Italy). They sound very good and are a little cheaper (I actually believe they build part of the amps for Schertler...).
