«  Caribou killer, and not more expensive. »

Published on 08/13/12 at 05:02
Amp lamps, all lamps ...
- 200 watt (4 or 8 Ohm switchable, constant power)
- 4x KT88 power, 2x and 1x 12AU7 12AX7A in preamp
- Active and passive input
- Equalo three bands with adjustment of the range of mediums
- 'Scoop' and 'Resonance'
- With output tuner button 'mute' for silent tuning
- XLR DI output Pre or Post equalo with ground lift and 20db pad

UTILIZATION

Its super easy when you have understood the basic principle of equalo:

- The gain is to switch between clean and drive
- Not to exceed twelve o'clock for equalo (adjustment 'range' of mediums depending on your personal taste), always cut the excess. It takes longer, but it frankly worth the trouble.
- I did not use the scoop / resonance, so no opinion. but it can color the sound of an original way.
- Master volume depending on the threshold of toleration of your ears, women, neighbors (in that order :))

SOUNDS

Quite appropriate to Metal (whatever style), the Jazz, Polka ... etc ... short, to everyone, if properly rule.

depending on the level of gain, we pass to drive the lens fat enough (depends, however, the output level of your bass).

I tested two pedals to drive on it: a DOD FX91 and an Ibanez PD7 PhatHead before the preamp in the effects loop, and as a preamp. The result is that the most convincing ... without pedal, pushing the gain.

OVERALL OPINION

Acquired on a whim in 2010, and a great opportunity (500 balls, including flight case!).

This is the ideal companion of my Kramer Travelling Headless (alu shaft, passive pickup), straight from the year '80. Sound and flapping in the cold and warm round sound, through all shades of drive.

I even took the chance to plug a passive bass China has 80 balls (which I also suffer the martyrdom of both hands and back), the intrinsic qualities of the amp sound relevent to an impressive manner.

This amp is against the ruthless precision of the game: the slightest hesitation on the attack of a rope shall mean at least as much a false note.

Of Anesthaesia Pulling Teeth (Metallica) has Hammer-Smashed Face (Cannibal Corpse), via Granite Wall (Bolt Thrower), to Bob Marley, and while straying on the Clo-Clo and Annie Cordy, the YBA200 -2 will face without flinching.


In short, if you need power (200W lamps, whatever people say, it's really a lot), the world of lamps you made the eye, and want to broaden your range of style, go for it!
