    I played with a Cort Artisan 4 which also prone versatility

    OVERALL OPINION

    It's been one month that I use and I flach on design with its aluminum HP
    in this power range between home and RPET is a good qualitprix most competitors saturate quickly when you push the sound (I think Ashdown, Laney and others)
    I do it again without a choice hsiter ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have this amp for 1 year
    What I like most is the EQ and what I like least is the limiter (which I use very little)
    The report is correct qualitprix without being exceptional (I buy 400 euros)
    With the experience I will buy the most powerful model (A100) as it does not deliver enough of me puisaance especially when you are playing metal.

    Transistor amplifier
    70 Watts

    Front:
    Entry-passive and active
    -CD input (RCA)
    Entry-headphones

    Rear:

    8-Ohm speaker output

    Volume, bass, treble
    7 Band Equalizer
    Limiter

    UTILIZATION

    Using super simple, let's say that the equalizer has much to do with respect the right sound.
    The manual?? Oops the A-70 is so simple that I forgot to check, anyway the amp itself is clear and sufficient

    SOUNDS

    Anyway I was bleuffé the aluminum cone. Being accustomed to using the Celestion must say that it jete in the roundness and accuracy please! I joueavec an LH Cort NB4 and I barely find the right setting on my bass on the A-7…

    SOUNDS

    Anyway I was bleuffé the aluminum cone. Being accustomed to using the Celestion must say that it jete in the roundness and accuracy please! I joueavec an LH Cort NB4 and I barely find the right setting on my bass on the A-70. With the combination of the two I can get almost any sound. I play Rancid, Iron Maiden, Stu Ham, Aerosmith ... What quite varied and there is nothing to complain about all the styles it provides for a 70 watts.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 6 months and what I like very much is that it can be used in inclined Too cool!
    I also like making phone that does not alter the sound of the bass, making CDs for home, her weight (20kg), XLR direct output: can connect to a console without an almost total loss of signal, which therefore needed a little more I called the governor plays a role when plugged into the amp and console.
    An exellent value for money I try all the other amps up to the same bin size and is not better!!
    My choice I'll do it again by buying a double body Hartke but I keep him at home.

    SOUNDS

    IT CAN BE USED I like amp for 6 months of work and I am very satisfied. It can be put in position "return", which is very comfortable. It is even powerful suffisemant to small gigs in bars or on cheeks, but not too strong.

    Front panel, from left to right:
    Jack between passive / active
    Audio RCA (Stereo synch). The intensity of the signal can not be THAT rgl on the device that is connected and not on the amp, a shame because it is impossible to rgler the intensity of the audio signal coming out of some readers (rather ^ tot rare but I have one ... and a mouth!).
    Volume / Bass / AIGS
    7 Band Equalizer
    Limiter
    Headphone

    Rear panel:

    Retailer for information and a good photo: https://www.samsontech.com/products/productpage.cfm?prodID=1671&brandID=3

    UTILIZATION

    Trs simple configuration.
    Easily obtained a good sound.
    The manual is very simple.

    It is lightweight but I would not even when with kilomtres (17 kilos when the same 70 watts and a few pounds more for the 100 Watts).
    Position "Kickback" is trs nice and we do not need to set up really well this ide trs.

    SOUNDS

    This is the kind of amp that suits all types.
    I play hard rock, rock and Latin with a Fender Precision active and the sound is great.
    The qualiseur allows for all the sounds you want. Hard-hitting style to bold.
    In my opinion, the only problem is power IF AND ONLY IF you plan to use it in a large room without being able to dub in a sound system. That's all but given both its power, one would expect. Any other suitable configuration.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I bought it in November 2005 and I'm really happy trs. In fact, I bought it because I read the reviews here and other critics are right. I am, but then not at all of the!

    My motivations Premire taient to have a small amp rpter without lugging my Trace Elliot 200 Watt (I'm using for the concert but I bet that if prt is possible to transplant in a sound system, both would have with my Trace Elliot 200 W. ..), and to work through the songs from CD, all in the headphone bore anyone.

    Trs good report quality price. Brussels bought 390 euro (there are ways to have less of www.musicstore.de, I saw 308 euro + 4.3% of shipping for BE or FR, you see. ..)

    I recommend it to beginners as well as others.

    UTILIZATION

    Simple configuration, I don t have the manual.

    SOUNDS

    I play with a palatino EUB and tried with a warwick corvette active, an aria pro shit, a yamaha indescribable midrange and Peavy Milestone 3 of my little brother.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had it eight months or so, I use in my home studio and repeating, never tried it on stage because I am not strictly speaking a "bass" but rather a drummer.

    I find, to my level, it's a combo rather correct, do not hesitate to turn up the well to make him spit his mother, it is that it is interesting, it's hot down the volume of have a blow correct something I play with headphones when I did not want to take full lemon.

    But it still manages to find a good sound it says it lacks volume I found, I play hard even in my room and there is still a little hungry ...

    for the metal I'm satisfied, even if, obviously, I found its limits, for my electric bass palatino was obviously not something 100 percent realistic (! lol!), but it also has the instrument that is still original (awaiting bass max) per game against the bow out perfect, and I want to clarify that the game groovy / funky bass or electric bass is quite correct.

    on the other hand forget the scene unless it's a small bar with a capacity of 30 persons, of course it's doable but it will take some additional return for agreeing on a room of 4000 people!

    That asks people for that price?
