Button "Deep" which reinforces the serious
Everything you need on a bass amp 15 watts, nothing missing, nothing superfluous.
UTILIZATION
Simple, turn a few knobs and playing.
I can not understand why there are two volume control on this type of amp: Input Gain and Output Level, this may be useful when connecting an external HP ... The advantage is that you can adjust the volume with great precision, the disadvantage is that you turn the two knobs if you want to sound all the way (I'm lazy).
The equalizer is accurate with good range of flexibility which allows to easily obtain the sound you seek.
Deep button is very useful in my opinion. It reinforces the bass for a more rounded.
I too looked at the manual, but given the simplicity of the amp is not really necessary ...
A strong point of this amp is its build quality: the knobs are metal, it has absolutely no play and has good resistance when they are running, the jacks seem very solid, the panel control is metal, the amp weighs rather heavy for its size ... It's solid!
I think it's pretty carpet with a coating on the outside, a black grille to the HP.
SOUNDS
I play very occasionally, not Rock and Reggae. This amp is very versatile and allows me to get almost any sound, it serves very well my bass, a Yamaha BB-active G4AII. The sound is clear, slams if you push a little treble. Deep button provides a well rounded but not too bold.
Sound, very accurate, may seem a bit cold for sure.
I also use it with my electric guitar: push the mids and treble to the bottom and lowering the bass, I have a great sound with treble slamming, and deep bass, a treat, perfect for playing Little Wing. With my electro-acoustic classical guitar, the sound is interesting too, with good momentum.
The sound power is quite limited, however, which does not bother me since I only play in my bedroom, but the speaker output is here! Do not hope to make the Stade de France but with ...
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 2 years I think.
I love this amp, I play with my bass, my guitar, my electro-acoustic, it has a versatility that I greatly appreciate.
The sound is very clear, perhaps too much, but now I try to find fault that he did not! The sound power is his only weakness, but when looking for a 15 watt amp is not for the concert. It limits it to a power amp work, what is its mission to see the CD input.
I tried a Fender Rumble 25 ('s too fat, too vague, too heavy, good amp though, with beautiful light inside
) and a peavey microbes (I find worse, and ugly and more) I do not regret my purchase at all. A very good amp, excellent quality, very good sound. I paid € 165, it costs less now that I think is a very good price / quality ratio. I would do the same choice again.
I put 10/10 because for me it's perfect, I could not find better I think. I like its sound, its look carpet, the exceptional build quality (let's not mince words!). Try it and if you take a look amp quality work.
