equalization "low" complete
an effective integrated compressor limiter

UTILIZATION

Very simple, very effective, very very good sound.
But I pout, the bird is not very versatile sound is absolutely typed AMPEG ...., of course, everyone loves (well the people who have taste), but not really modern sounds . (You must forget the slaps nervous .....)
In terms of accomplishments, the chamber is particularly good. Aillieurs On the other bass amps I have plugged it all became much better. (For the record: AMPEG HP manufactures its own!)

SOUNDS

Blues Jazz and classic rock: the perfection
Funk, TRASH, METAL: not really suitable
rich, bold, dominant "big bottom"
The so serious a 5-string made BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM enormous.
Amp playing fingers to get the most.

OVERALL OPINION

Hey, we arrive at the problem: its very good, OK, but not for long !........ Voilà.Je have used it for about two years and then one day he made ... "plitch" When I turned back on between sets. This idiot passed away on stage (as JB Poquelin not JazzBass, Jean Baptiste! short ... Stiff Dead direct !..... Maybe dream of a good death for an artist ... but me, it does not really suited me!. AMPEG The guaranteed five years in the United States! not here! just one year. Well it was for my apple.
Actually the amp itself is very small: a small rack of aluminum bonded to the back of the speaker in fact. Minus the transformer is really serious and does not (when you look at the price).
I am a fan of AMPEG, I was frankly disappointed by this more than doubtful quality of components (just the cable that connects the receiver to the HP so scared it seems clear that they are undersized (in fact son two small red and black, perfect for a small radio right, but not an amp of 100 watts. Should be a little more serious AMPEG Mister!)
There, for the note, I will be harsh .... but fair: Zero!
Yeah, what! I still cry my me 600 euros!
NO WARRANTY so: NO MERCY!
Go ZOU!
