UTILIZATION
So, as regards the use of this machine is super mega easy!
We plug everything together and it sounds to death. Finally I'm exaggerating a bit but not so much for building this amp, you can carve almost any bass sound with the graphic equalizer that is very effective. In any case in terms of settings is very simple like many vintage amp of this generation, after it goes without saying that you can spend more or less time depending on our requirement to get the sound of our dreams.
You should also know two more things:
- First, this amp is very heavy (24 kg single-handedly), significant detail for those who seek to optimize their mobile side.
- And secondly, it is not really suitable for playing in an apartment (huge blow to the neighbors!), It can be expressed optimally in a rehearsal room.
SOUNDS
In terms of sound, the possibilities are vast, for me (very subjective opinion), it suits me perfectly for my style (metal, fusion, electronica, prog rock, tripop ...). It is certainly very versatile, but I still put in the family "Rock"! This amp was designed in 1982 (rather vintage) so do not try to sound too modern, you can spit from 20 hz galore! Now I assure you it is far from being outmoded, these capabilities are pale and rival many other newer amps in the same category. He has a monstrous potato, imported directly from hell.
OVERALL OPINION
Since one month, I have, I do not regret my purchase and I do not think I'll never part, even have a second amp. The only downside is the rather large budget for Retube, he must still 4 lamps pre-amp and 12 amp lamps or 16 lamps in total! Otherwise this amp is indestructible personality and character large amp upscale lamps, I play on a Vigier Arpege Vintage Carbon with this amp which is respected and knows how to respect!
