    SOUNDS

    -Adapt to what I play, cd rock rather calm. never test live (it's short 65W)
    -I played with a cort action bass and the sound is good as I leave the tone 0 (on bass). I play no effect, then see what gives with a distortion etc ...
    Sound-known in sristallin be very acute, but quite dry in the bass.
    some parasites, but certainly the static elec. There is aps if you use ave taken Earth (standard)

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have been using 2semaines and I'm happy.
    It is not very practical transport (a grip on top to 25KG, but it is very Aesthetics.
    I have tried any other model except a Vieules amp lying around in high school and that is horrible.
    For 120 I think it's the best qualitprix the market (brand amp of this power is between 300 and 600 others)
    -If I choose, I'd take the model above, but still a Harley Benton (65W to live is limited)

    Amp-65W 4ohms in any transistor, but that sounds a lamp can I find ...
    -2 Pramp channel volume knob with a "voice"
    Equalizeur 5-100Hz-250Hz band-500Hz-1kHz-2kHz.
    -Effects loop, line out, headphone and output to another HP.
    -Possibility to add a footswitch.

    UTILIZATION

    The manual I've ever used and I have never had ... simple configuration ... I have a compressor over AIM ...
    brief ... even when I had this amp 12 years!
    The potentiomtre produce no parasite but if we branch dconnent low active! I am obliged to put the knob of 100Hz and lower back while the others at least to have a VBAC my Thunderbird's correct!
    Otherwise it is a good amp for beginners.

    SOUNDS

    So l. .. is the drama ... For a year this amp into the road for rpetions ... it is true that for a 65 watt balance is pretty good and had a trs sound! But he DGRAD over the years ...
    I take the knobs of which expemple dconnent: If you push the bottom of 2Khz, small "pet-pet" is prosuisent and seeing "limit active" will flash to the rhythm of "pet-pet." ..
    Then he started to saturate for nothing!
    Example: before I used it on scne times without thunder and he walked with the knob of the prampli 5 and 7 of the amp ...
    Now I use repeating with the volume of the preamp and that 7 of the amplifier 10. Why 10? because the preamp saturates more than the amp, so I try to lower the volume of the preamp and the amp privilgier ... But I want to be heard repeating, so I have to put no less than 7 and if I do not hear me ... of course ... but it saturates with my drummer covering my sound has not hear ...
    Moreover, its HP a little "pouarf pouarf" with saturation ...
    So many big cat and a shame because this amp dpart rang well!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it since 2009 and began to let go over time. Too bad ...
    C'tait my first amp and now I use an Ashdown Mag 300 combo is much more solid and hard though ...

    quality-price ratio I would say blah ... but I do not know what to think of this amp as it sounded good to dpart ... It may be I who can put an end ... Harley Benton at the same time has had a prvoir between active!

    I like:
    -Power to a 65W.
    HP-his "heavenly".
    -In ....

    What I like about it:
    -Sa dgradation over its use.
    His-knobs that dconnent.
    -Lack of a compressor.
    -The Absensi between an active

    I had this amp a few months in 2004. It is 40 watts into 8 ohms (as is) and 65 into 4 ohms (8 ohms with hp external plugged into the jack on the back), so the name is confusing. Foul, I would say.
    Therefore less powerful, especially since his hp, eminence or not, is very feeble.
    Good connectivity, the shape can be controlled remotely, 5-band equalizer, effects loop, it's all good. Virtually no background noise.

    UTILIZATION

    The frequencies of the equalizer are bizarre, hard to avoid this unpleasant metallic clatter. I changed the hp to see and it's better but still weird so good I not see the point of this amp.

    I can not advise, currently dating a marshall 30 watt ring of hell for little more expensive and it sounds at least as strong.

    SOUNDS

    It is not good, metal and thin, and riquiqui in output level.
    You can recommend this gadget to your competitor, he will work less and you will have a substantial technical advance.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I had problems after 3 months, over its full of cracks and then, very unstable. So I removed the circuit, found nothing suspicious, still brushed it all with an old toothbrush, back and everything works impec miracle again ...
    The finish is poor, and the case is downright shame (the signs are with glue and small squares ...).
    Hands off!
