Any amp transistors, 180 watts RMS (into 4 ohms or 8 I do not know but more powerful than a Gallien-Krueger 150 watt is verified)
25 kilos. A handle.
A 15-inch speaker. vents in the back. no tweeter.
entered "active" and "passive".
5-band equalizer.
50hz boost, boost 8khz, switch to bypass the equalizer.
effects loop, 2 speaker outputs (one taken by the built-in HP, you can disconnect), 1 x DI-useful for a live but to avoid to save her too soft for the normal price.

Octaver an adjustable bypass.

property: weight / power / price effects loop on the front, 2 HP possible.
less: no compressor (% £ ¤ why a $ Octaver instead?)
not good: no tweeter, no marks on the knobs.

UTILIZATION

Simple but the input level to deal with, not found in competitors. that hair cell to adjust the amp compared to microphones and preamps to your bass, I do not lower the note.
no marks: I had to make marks with a marker, the EQ is subtle and moving easily transport large knobs, which are not notched. -1.

SOUNDS

Blues, rock, hard rock and punk, classic jazz.
no tweeter: TFW less for the funk, but I'm hardly.
I do not know anything about "his" metal .. no opinion on it.

Overall the sound is fat and the attack is accurate (offsets the lack of tweeter I think). The "fat" increases by pushing the bass and lower midrange, without removing too much clarity to the sound.

Power: the internal speaker, I put the volume at 9 to repeat (with a guitarist and a singer who wants to hear). Notice to nag: 11am you trigger a riot in your group. The sound remains intact until then, I have not tested beyond.

10, considers the price.

OVERALL OPINION

I correct my mistake (I had put a notice for the 12-180 as my 15-180) and I want to bring me up to date with a little more experience.

This is the most versatile combo I've tried in this price range. No competition possible, trace elliot, fender, etc ... Better than Gallien Krueger backline and (more and more expensive). It certainly has its own character (the fat), but the EQ is such that we can get what you want. The lack of tweeter limited to the traditional sounds, but he does well.

With the experience I see my notes on the rise, so. It is found growing in the trade and this is normal. Competitors to adapt!
