This is an amp lamp (lamps and pre amp tube emulation power)
It dlivre 500w into 4 ohm and 8 ohm to 320 I think.
diffrends knobs: Gain, compression, low mdium, acute, Colour and master.
He does that PSE 6 kg!

UTILIZATION

The setup is so simple that it is Drout! One branch and a sound of thunder!

SOUNDS

I played with a Cort Artisan fretless 4-string and a fender jazz bass amricaine.
With these two I have a low sound of hell! The button "color" can make the sound more "vintage" style 80's and even 70. For slapper prfre I have this color knob 0 for slamming a modern sound, and that background I have that sound a little deaf and load mdium.
I play a lot in saturation, this amp gives a sound of hell, which is not the case with other markbass not done to saturation, clearly!
My style of music is plutt mtal East, Rock (modern), rock'n roll, blues.
In any case sounds like I want, hack it a bit and hop was the sound you want and without taking the head.

OVERALL OPINION

I made purring for 2 months now, it's an absolute killing!
I tried a lot of head amp, some all-tube (orange) that sounded much worse.
What I like most: versatility, weight, warm sound, the ease of rglages.
What I like least: to quibble on the knob compression will never have a compression like with pedals or raque done.
The report quality is monstrous price: 860 euro new, in-store, with 2 years manufacturers warranty.
With the exprience, you do again this choice? Yes, in this life, the next ... etc. I love it, love it, the beginners of a long road together.
