Already the first bad surprise: the output of DI, which I use for recording, is controlled at the master, so the master button must be at least 12 and the level knob for DI donf have a proper output level, suddenly it pummeled to death in the Hp (not cool for the neighbors!), or it must disconnect the head! Unheard of: o (
Two very big surprises: after only 2 months of use, without the head was never carried one time for a gig, then remained only in home studio, Intermittent crackling appeared at frequencies of closer and closer together, SUN and HP! A trick phew!
I turned my head dealer of course check on the lights, but nada! Suddenly, the head is distributed to the importer, who has kept more than one month and finally returned to me ... but without having solved the problem, abused!
So, I asked my dealer to take up this excellent mind that I did not want to keep longer, and to exchange it for one finally Portabass Ampeg PB800 head that I should receive soon ...
I invite you to read the testimonies of former owners of the Walkabout head on Harmony-central.com, you will not be disappointed ... they all had technical problems with fairly quickly, often related to weakness in electronics ...
UTILIZATION
Rather easy to use.
The manual ... English only ... confirms the principle of enslavement DI / Master and explains that if we want to separate the two, as is the case on most amps, simply contact them to get the wiring diagram and edit. to make yourself ... What about the warranty? very risky if you're not a pro in electronics and soldering iron! Well, another bad point!
SOUNDS
The sound is good enough ... until there is no crackling!
OVERALL OPINION
This is normally the stuff of high-end, mine cost me close to 1400 euros anyway, and finally I was very disappointed with this purchase (poor reliability, bp DI, and what Can it give after several concerts ???). Advice, avoid buying this head!
