VEVEF32 « Not bad, could do better »
Published on 06/13/14 at 18:49Amp transistors, connectors jack low / high impedance, send / return, line out
200W ... but this is too much: by repeating the volume slider remains in the 2/10, and outdoor concert rarely exceeds 5/10 volume. Obviously, on a scene, hard rock, I say not ... but it would again I would take rather a 150W.
3 buttons preset EQ knobs + 2 "shelving" (low, high, medium cut). 3 buttons that complement the equalizer (not the same frequencies) and frankly it is the most useful and well thought out. 2 knobs "shelving" are more debatable and complement an equalizer which can be used to cut a little hum of the amp.
Phaser (with switch Deporte): switch sleeping in a cupboard so this effect is inappropriate for a bass. An adjustable compressor or flanger would have been more useful.
A limiter to avoid overloading the HP, which will be used only above 100W volume issued. Otherwise it is useless.
UTILIZATION
The config is super simple, except that the main drawback of this amp is that it has only one preamp volume and no volume amp. Okay you tell me if ... well anyway, it amplifies the hum 50Hz, around the transformers in the amp ... which is always fully (even when I watched as the electronic schemas). Another disadvantage is the input jack return to the input of the amp always thoroughly and so ... not possible volume setting on this entry ... done by Fender to add amps (Watts what). Yes but hey, this is not the main use we will do.
Other recrimination: there 2 inputs mono jacks. Normal bass passive and another "low impedance" which you say it will allow us to connect an active low output or 'line' of a multi-effects. And that neni. Fender simply divided by 2 impedance, so the permissible level is multiplied by 2. But the difference between a micro level (passive bass) and line level (low active, multi-effect) is about x100. So nothing to do with x2 we offer Fender ... but then what good is it? Ben is not much, especially since these entries are marked "1" and "2", in other words it will remind you which is high impedance. Personally, I added a resistor in the Jack who returns it to the level to be eligible. And now, ca still adds a bit of noise.
SOUNDS
The good point of this amp is that the sound is round, and although it colors a bit in the medium, it does not alter the sound and deep bass. Nice for a pretty eclectic game (I did funk slap, blues, jazz ... and now the bass).
The downside, it's a blast (white noise) unacceptable to the fender from that amounts to more than 2/10 (so painful for solo practice). Is added a permanent hum as soon as the lights amp. I tried to keep him away from any source of disturbance (transfos. ..) but to no avail. This is perhaps the outlet side 220 ... but here, I am an electronics engineer, I'm still stunned by this same breath frole negligent design (I refer you again to the electronic schemas).
OVERALL OPINION
I use this amp for 15 years, proof that it is not that bad and the sound is pretty good. But objectively, I saw that had less than zero breath and hum.
Finally, it is a good config combo (I like his Equalisers we do not always find all the amps), and since it is a combo, it is heavy. For cons, the two very sturdy handles on the sides of the ship to allow 2. Moreover, it is very strong (I put on a head of guitar tube amp + HP weighing very heavy, and my amp well received).
Brief solid design, good config combo that lets you do everything, but to choose, prefer the 150w version that can be made a little less breath ...
