UTILIZATION

The setup is really simple trs, it makes her a good and sound. And even when we test the BTE, we get a good sound trs by simply putting all knobs noon (neutral).

The manual is minimal, however. I AIM a little more info, especially on the VLE and VPF filters two and the rear face buttons (ground lift and pre / post EQ).

SOUNDS

Overall I think the head may agree a lot of musical styles DIFFERENT even if I find it more comfortable on modern and powerful sounds. For my part I play DIFFERENT styles of music and say that this should especially funk, blues and rock. I think that metalheads will also find something to rgaler. VLE thanks to the filter can easily switch to sound more rtros while the FFT filter really boosts the sound. In both filters plaant VPF and VLE twelve o'clock we get really great sound, ample, modern and powerful: exactly what I wanted.

The basic sound of this head is really prcis, even in severe frquences, which is trs enjoyable because I got too rare on other amps. That said, I did not test with a 5 string. Note by the abuse against the FFT filter (which boosts the sound) is lost in precision. For use with modration.

Trs a good point that I think INTERESTED: when you plug the instrument and it mounts the volume without playing, there is no breath or grsillement: the amp is quiet and just it was rare enough to be noticed.

Both filters VLE and VPF are really practical, simple rgler. Note that I think these two effects must compress the signal because a little since I head that I do not feel the need for a compressor, even on the slap (slap sound really good on this head). If people have a little info on these filters and usage tips, I'm interested.

I test this head with different instruments: my Sandberg, Hohner Steinberger, Cort Curbow Fretless, Fender Jazz Bass, Warwick Corvette. This restores Fidler head the sound of the instrument, which is really apprciable. on the other hand Obviously, ancessite to have a bass with a good sound and I think it's made for low plutt sending (I'll have to find a Music Man to test a. .. .).

I test the head of cab Ampeg (SVT) and Markbass. And I say right away: even if the head is not CHRE trs, we have to put the package to acqurir of cabs that can withstand the power of this t te. For my part I made the choice to Markbass cabs (1x15 "+ 2 x 10"). Frankly the combination of the head and two cabs is really beautiful.

OVERALL OPINION

June 2011: I head for the three months and frankly I conquered. Everyone has noticed my amp and its remarkable that dveloppe.

Precision, power and sound quality, lgret (incredible) I think are the most remarkable qualities of this amp and the fact that it is silent (no blast or gr Silla).

I test a lot of amps (prs in the same low price) before making this purchase: Warwick, Ashdown, Ampeg, Hartke and Promthe. Markbass for me is a better choice in terms of sound quality but also lgret. Even if this n'tait no choice CRITERIA beginners I think I got quickly used to it and I have trouble taking me an amp of 60 kg now.

But beware: it's a powerful amp really trs and to be able to assume such power (unusable with cabs in an apartment for example). As against the prsence a DI can play with headphones at a console which is handy.
