    Shape control for awesome sound of mediums.

    3-band EQ control

    UTILIZATION

    3 pots for treble, bass, mids so RiEnd e complicated but it's still full because the selected bandwidth for these three settings are most appropriate to me.
    We obtain very easily a good sound that is more acceptable to the SHAPE control setting that offers really very useful.

    I play metal and it suits me very well. Even if it is deemed to be very versatile, jazz, reggae, rock, ...

    I play it with an ESP-LTD and the active preamp / DI Hartke.
    The single sound is what gives the precision thanks to the aluminum cone. The advantage of the 15 'compared to the lower series 12' and 10 'is a greater presence in the bass. But having tests 3models Kickback, I think the 15 is still better than the other end and the sound quality is good superior.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 3 months.
    I tried many, many more models before buying and even the ampeg (BA) I was not satisfied because of their price they did not have enough advantage compared to Kickback remains my favorite.
    Value for money really good since at the level of quality I see nothing to complain

    _Amplis Transistor

    _120W

    _Input 6.3mm (unique: active / passive), Phone, XLR direct out

    _EQ Band 3 (Low / Med / Hight), Shape (on / off) 90Hz 1KHz

    Could not be more simple and very prcis on this point has nothing wrong

    UTILIZATION

    _as Prcdement said yes, we can no longer simple, just know to turn the buttons (long live analog!)

    _In Gnrale if you want to buy an amp like this is that the information starts to play, so we have a minimum ear. So yes we should not have bin 10 for a good sound. We must not forget we're on Harke, so it's easy to sound! And aluminum woofer ': D

    I use it with a GT6B and poo, with pramp the pre eq, compressor and it sounds of thunder, even if you have to push a little volume for ressentire attack.

    _A Manual? What? "On / off" ^ ^

    SOUNDS

    _I Plays of all, it is extremely versatile! I even put my mp3 on it to sound full of bass ^ ^

    _The Most of the time I play it with my Fender Jazz bass and my GT6B. Among all my instruments with it's what it sounds the best.
    Sometimes I plug my acoustic electric guitar on it, and modulating the sound with the shape I come out a great sound!

    _Ca Sounds even when low-medium rev, so do not expect a sound ultra fat, or he must go to ampeg trace eliot or. But the lower you will develop your hair, do not worry!

    _This Which I prefer (with pramp, comp, equa my pedals) c -1 with low, medium, and one in two in acute, for the slap is really top home top.

    The one I hate when I c is the shape in order to have that medium .. but dbile to ca ^ ^

    OVERALL OPINION

    _Depuis 3 years

    +: Strong, sound, use, possibility back in position, and rather pretty "retro" aluminum woofer, not too heavy (or so is that I am very muscular ^ ^)

    -: A very low volume (like, when everyone is sleeping around) you do not realize its capacity (but it pushes the volume ca mailing!)

    _J'avais Other essay Hartke combo with four more complete, but he did not even heat ca fesait toy too. I also tried the peavey (I had a small peavey 30W) but frankly it sounds not too loud but it's not enough quality.

    _Country Qualitprix excellent.
