I bought this amp sound basis for a classical guitar and folk:
- An old classical guitar with a sound recording of a rather special type 2 piezo sensors coupled, connected to the input without preamp in Stat,
- A Seagull S6 + CW Cedar with a microphone M1 LR Baggs active in the same entry (I know, it's double preamp, but what the ....)

Result:
An incredible, powerful, and faithful .... It's bewitching. The spring reverb me stuck. It is stop adjustable on 2 levels:
- Each entry in its own reverb control
- + Global reverb to the Main.
For the classic, it gives her a "concerto" really rich, and for the folk, an undeniably powerful sound. It sounds what. Baggs thank you Very good microphone!
(Have a look on http://www.fingerpick.com/pickups.htm for testing audio)

The controls of this amp are numerous, with a mixer looks really cool. The inputs are dual XLR / Jack (except for the song if I remember correctly), it's to save space

A big surprise on this amp was when I plugged my guitar electric ...
A Vigier Indus, without pedal with nothing. Crystaline sound, the true sound of my guitar. It was beautiful, sweet.
We had to push the test further:
a pedal distortion / overdrive? the sound is rather very blah (this is not for, normal ...)
on the other hand, with a pedal (Korg 1500G by me), or better yet a SansAmp GT2 (amp emulator), it is lost!
I could not believe it!
Connected to the input states in the GT2 gives me an incredible sound with an attack, pure bass that stir my apartment (and with my neighbors, the poor).
I rediscovered this pedal, and I fell in love with this couple (UNICO + GT2)

My Laney amp lamp went live in the closet. Different régalges the GT2 on this amp did not give richness to the sound. But with the Shertler, that's another story. A story that gives me chills. Buckley and Guilmour are in my living room now.

This little thing I am now across all of my rehearsals. It is very powerful (185W) and very compact (not much bigger than my Laney LC15 ...)
In addition it allows you to connect multiple instruments at the same time, the sound does not mix (ie voice + electric + scratch scratching dry ...)

Finally, the price is quite high (€ 1000), but I bought it much cheaper in Belgium. So for me, an excellent price / quality ratio.
I use it now for 4 months and I do not part with it for anything

- I use it for two months ... in my living room. The Aesthetics "high tech" product is well suited my indoor. I use it for everything (cost me mp3, web radio, my recordings, make my rpeter ...).
- Everything is excellent in this forum PA: the mixer, amplifier class A, the HP ... The set is so transparent sound when played with an acoustic instrument branch above (or sung in a good microphone), one does not even account for its existence. We just feel like playing hard gently trs. The only flaw, if we find, are the absence of back (and / or notches) on the knobs, and (but would have taken too much space and it's not really the calling of the machine) the absence of a Second Entry online ...
- In fact, there is not much of equivalent (the SR Technology Schertler are clones of the EAR are fates voice and guitar), especially since they greatly facilitate the use Schertler with sensors for acoustic instrument.
- The report qualitprix trs is good, although the hardware is expensive because the quality is excellent, and everything is perfectly designed ... There You Save DDIS and amplifiers, a good mixer, etc..
- With the exprience I Rasht deuxime a well (when I have a loft!)

I use it for two years as:

- Voice and guitar amp
- Bass amp (bass coupled with 200)
- Home studio monitor
- Back stage
- Mini sono "disco" for small party

I love its size, the warm and transparent, its connectivity, its versatility. I have a friend violinist and an accordionist who also have each their own, they follow us everywhere.

I put a small flat for use with bass, where it reached its limits in the grave. Even with the sub, the sound is just "medium".

I bought the equivalent of 700 EUR at a discount (in Switzerland), I regret not having taken two, I could advantageously replace my Hifi salon (Marantz + BW).
