Best value: Excellent
Amp transistor.
100 watts RMS power 65watts only, 100 watts are issued by the "head" when the receiver is connected to an external speaker, cutting off the sound of the amp.
input for external speaker, headphone, input jack, CD input, knobs "bass" "middle" "treble" gain setting for active play or passive, output volume and of course, its deep.
Baffle 15 "

UTILIZATION

Using very simple since the knobs are not multiplied, we will have essentially no need to be sound engineer to navigate, we find easily that sound research, the knobs are effective, is the deep very satisfactory, it is even necessary for me.
The manual is in English but it is not necessary, quite the contrary.

SOUNDS

Got all the styles I like to play from Metal to Progressive through the melodic ... The sound is pretty good and punchy, but it also depends on the type of sound that is sought. I played with a 4-string for now, I expect my 5-string ESP at a halt, the receiver captures the sounds played by a distortion pedal, chorus ... The deep sound is really good taff ', I do not remove it rounds the sound, makes it sweet, round and low / bright depending on the type of sound that is sought.

OVERALL OPINION

Ben here I've had three months, I am bass player for 2 years, I am delighted, a great value for money (I got a nine on the net € 185).
The most: the deep, simplicity combined with efficiency.
Cons: weight, 25kilos rather hard to repeat in a walk again.
With the experience I would do without hesitation that choice but I do not deny that if I had more money I would stay at Ashdown, but with a better head and cabinet range.

I put around 9 because a product can be perfect even if it comes close.

ps: I have no problems blowing through my amp.
