Transistor amp, 100 w, Hp aluminum inlet with active / passive, a CD input, volume control, bass, treble, equalizer 7-band, limiter, headphone out and back loop effects , DI output and fuse accessible.

UTILIZATION

Manual not very clear to me (no English: D) but it is not really useful.
Effective settings (it rotates, it acts), its easy to find but just focusing on the equalizer anyway.
Amp light enough for my taste (23 kg according to the manual), tilted back so convenient (except for transport by car)

SOUNDS

This amp sounds great but is not really adapted to the metal, it lacks power quickly.
I use to start with a Peavey Milestone III passive, no problem. on the other hand with my Ibanez SRX 355 active, the receiver quickly show its limitations. Ie it saturates easily with so bad. The grave is not sufficiently well defined for my taste especially with a 5 string.
on the other hand in terms of acute, so there are no problems, the sound becomes very clear and sharp metal with the bass knob at the bottom.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been almost a year I use it, I will soon change it to a head and body.
I had taken as the amp "provisional" before taking bigger.
This is a good amp but not too much to fit 5-string, or metal.
The light is 100 watts to repeat especially with a drummer and a guitarist with a head and body.
I do not think I would do this choice, the amp is not powerful enough to use that I ais. But that's not a bad amp overall.
