«  It's aliiiiiiiiive! »

Poncepilat very well to the characteristics of the beast. Detail Funny, I have exactly the same config 'him (with a 2x15 cabinet' so). However, I first had the cabinet and, by dint of hardships, I paid the ad hoc head. I used before a Tech21 VT Bass preamp with a head Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0 excellent in its field (class D).
I've always wanted to go on the all-tube, despite a bad experience with Traynor (but I must be bad timing). I do not like widgets with lots of pitches and potchs, so here there is little knobs to turn, it's great: nothing superfluous therefore (Volume-bass-treble-mid-master) plus a knob presence.
The building exudes quality (even more than the speaker), the details are cared for and the top handle has indestructible air. It is worth noting, height of refinement, it is a reminder of the grid on the front of my amp a little at Egnater. Superb.

UTILIZATION

As I said above, there are no knobs to turn 60 in a vacuum. The controls are simple, intuitive and effective. Any bass player with some experience will gain a great sound quickly, no need to book. A flat, it already sounds superbly. After just a little sculpt the sound to his liking. If the gear is known, the amp sublimate rendering.

SOUNDS

I stoner rock with a big sound scooped and overdrive. I've got two excellent fuzz and overdrive pedal format that I use alternately. I was looking for a clear amplifier with high dynamic, very organic sound, which has made the volume (the famous "3D" in the previous opinion) and cash out my pedals Mazzette, Arts and Bloodshed in my Zombie Mammoth. The sound is far better than anything I've tried. My old sound system and flat riquiqui next (and I was proud). You can push a little preamp but it does not seem to me that really made my new girlfriend. For the hard, rock, blues, reggae, soul and other vintage stuff is nickel. With a good OD or a good fuzz above can be progenitors of all fatter styles (yum!) while maintaining excellent sound. I use my Ibanez ATK and my Japanese Wild Custom. I look forward to also test with my old Danelectro. I love all the sounds that can be learned, they are all usable for one style or another. Nothing to throw away!

OVERALL OPINION

I have recently. I had a lot of stuff and I've tried many things but here we are in the very upscale while remaining lower than machined price amps (Ampeg, Orange, Ashdown, ...) I have long played a Genz Benz and Ashdown ABM 500 I paid almost the same price at the time. The sound and dynamics are simply incomparable, even if I like Ashdown. This is 100 times hotter and it pierces into the mix in a wonderful way. The bass and treble are accurate, without being neither muddy or shrill.
The value is indecent. Everything is made by a true craftsman Southwest who loves his work and takes the time to communicate. And it does not hurt, amps are beautiful.
