See previous review! Tube/solid state hybrid.

UTILIZATION

It's quite simple, just play around with the settings and you'll find the tone you're looking for.


SOUNDS

Powerful, well-rounded, accurate sound with a very faithful sound in the mids and highs. And it won't be necessary to play through a P.A. when outdoors.
It's a real pleasure with an ABM 410H or similar!!! Use something in this range otherwise you'll blow up your speakers.
I've probably never had to use more than 75% of its output power but I am aware that I have 600 watts backing me. I can easily imagine the monster when connected to the mixing desk of a 5 kW P.A.!!!!!

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using it the last 8 months for rehearsals. I play an active 5-string fretless Luthman.
I tested Beringer, Peavey and Trace Eliot amps and they are ok but this beast really blew my mind away.
I only need an audience!!!!!
You may have a prejudice against the brand because it's new (compared to its competitors) but they are already one step ahead of the rest... could it be that they are being inspired byt their collaboration with U2?
This high-quality amp head was exactly what I was looking for and at the right price.
I would buy it again with my eyes closed and I'm utterly satisfied.
And last but not least, the RC version looks great. What else could you ask for??
