UTILIZATION

The settings are-simple and effective, but also some scratching their heads for settings with more sophisticated views of the many possibilities

the sound is a real massacre only problem, the preamp is turned off when using the effects loop ...?
Manual delivered in French and clear enough to tame the beast.

SOUNDS

Very versatile amp
I use it with 4 energy status and a ibanez SDgr 400, I play mainly finger and I slap, anyway the sound is there! of medium to large foil well as dub bass, metal to jazz to rock, blues and funk it currently meets. I'd like to try a 5 string ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a dozen years now, and I could not do without it,
I never find other models that satisfies me as much (water-eliot, ampeg, swr ...)
paid 13,000 francs at the time is 2000 euros now, and never a problem, I move every week to repeat though. great stuff, super reliable and super heavy 46 kg unfortunately and the only flat when not in roadies
