115 combo amp with txitter. For specific features, I copy the manufacturer's website:

preamp: 1x 12AY7 + x 12AXT
Power: 2 x 6L6GC
rectif: GZ34
EQ: Normal flight - flight bright - bass - mids - treble - presence
Imputs: 2 inputs per channel Hi and Low
speaker: 1 x 15˝ Celestion Green Label BN15-400X
box: Poplar
dimensions: 64 x 56 x 31cm
Weight: 29kg

There are four input jacks and an opportunity to connect another speaker and thus a knob to change the impedance of the amp.

This small size combo delivers 42 watts large contrary to what the name suggests!

UTILIZATION

No manual because everything is very simple.

Normal / bright entry and for each of these inputs, a low and hi is chosen. The four inputs can patched beings which extends the possibility of noise considerably.

The sound is good naturally on bass, EQUAL is effective and allows you to play with a real guitar without problems, even without the twitter!
To play every day is great because one branch, while at noon and rolling!
In the studio, there is way to dig the skull to have a very specific or particular sound.

SOUNDS

I play the bass, and guitar bassVI. I was looking for a versatile amp to change instruments without taking my head with the settings. I found what I was looking for =)

The basic sound is clean, it will load slightly at high volumes but it is far from Roar (bassman inside what). The idea is to have a reliable sound on which the pedals are acting faithfully.

OVERALL OPINION

I wanted to find a more reasonable config since the decision of my group. So I sold my big stack and a special combo terrain. Faithful to the brand, I have not procrastinated long when I saw that it was an amp type bassman which for me is a guarantee of versatility.
I love all its ergonomics, portability, its look, its sound qualities. I have a very minimal use because I'm not picky when I play at home (all at noon). But I like to know in the studio, there is something a little fiddling to find sounds really worked.
I have not yet had the opportunity to test it with a battery, I will publish my opinion in due course. But this amp has under the hood! I never exceed 2 and it's already hard enough for personal use. (The knob goes up to 12) Not to mention that you can link the two channels ...

The main for me is to have a nice amp that meets my expectations. The hand made in France is a more obviously!

It's always a pleasure to buy Chillbass and see the brand grow with quality products always!
