UTILIZATION

Extremely easy to use.

The equalization is impeccable and precise, no worries about that.
The tube emulation is quite impressive, very warm sound, not even offer a saturation of the most beautiful effect.
The presets are easy to store and changed, we can not more intuitive.

The utility has several knobs that are active in pressing the "Shift":
Gain knob adjustment deveint SpectraComp
The EQ is parametric (ie it manages the frequencies on which it acts by turning the knobs)
The manager becomes a TubeTone volume presets

Pressing Mute the sound cuts, and the LEDs around the knob is a bass tuner. The focus marks the reference and another point comes close to or away from focntion the accuracy. Handy

Finally, we get easily a wide range of sound. The signal is observed, and the spirit of the bass is intact.

SOUNDS

In my opinion, does not color the signal at all, it lends itself to all styles without exception.

If it is modern (TC presents him as the receiver 2.0), and thus provides "a default with the full spectrum of bass, but the TubeTone tampering and cutting the treble a bit, we get easily vintage sound interesting?
Basically you do what you want.

I play on Pedullá and Warwick, two bass with a strong personality, and I hear the sound by plugging directly into the sound card are there. It's very nice.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a good week. I have long eyed it, I almost got back on MarkBass, good cam, a bit more accessible hand, when an opportunity presented itself near me OPUR an RH450.

I do not regret it. I will long, simply because we do what we want. It can be taken throughout his saccoche.

Even new, the price / quality ratio is unbeatable, only Markbass is able to compete.

In short, simply excellent.
