UTILIZATION

Whatever the bass used, there is always a good sound quickly, and you know adjust an amp, there is nothing to be ashamed to face much more expensive amp transistors.

I read the manual after 2 years of use, and I have learned nothing more :)

SOUNDS

The amp is versatile, can be got out of the brutal death as jazz or pop without forcing. "Good overall, but excels nowhere".

Long used with a head LTD B-204, then with Ibanez BTB470 and 705DX. Used once with a low no-name has less than 100 EUR. Served as the only bass amp in a small festival. Everyone who has played on this amp have been satisfied, and even positively surprised!

Combined with an Ibanez PD-7 for "dirty" sound. It's not worth a real tube, but that's the case. Branch before the preamp effects loop or after the desired sound.

The buttons bass boost / treble boost, sculpt the sound rather violently, you should know what you do when they are used.

The EQ is effective, but the output is post-EQ DI, I quickly moved my way. Yet it is intuitive and effective ... damage.

The compressor is useful, but do not set it too high.

The gadget is completely Octaver:
- Without foot control, difficult to use.
- It takes the lower octave of the note ... it would have been wiser to do the opposite, to actually enjoy the entire range of the bass ...

OVERALL OPINION

Used since November 2008 with the MAG115 and MAG410 of the same brand, it helps me more than occasionally following the acquisition of a head-Traynor YBA200 II.

This is my first amp, I started on the old Laney of a friend, and I had to 300W 100W lamps to calm the two guitarists.

It can satisfy the beginner (easy, not too expensive) to semi-pro (a requirement to know the address). It grows naturally mediums, and offers everything a bassist needs, with the exception of two things:
- An input aux-in (for connecting an MP3)
- One headphone

It's still a great value for its price. an unavoidable choice.
