- Small 20w amp transistors (slightly more or slightly less, I know not too much)
- Between a mono jack 6.35 (active / passive ...)
- A 10 dB boost (not too bad, does not blow over another)
- 3-band EQ (B / M / A) + knob of "presence"
- Between terminals on Stereo RCA line level (for training with BAR, CD ...)
- No effect
- Automatic limiting Intgr it said on paper
- Stereo headphone output jack 6.35
- 20 watts potato diffused by an HP 8 "coaxial tweeter

For an amp basic training, not much to add.
From the perspective of the character is in the middle with a finish good enough.

UTILIZATION

Really not complicated volume is effective and quickly climbs into the towers.
The Eq is soft enough, but an EQ too punchy on a 20W amp is as useful as an HP over a 5-inch 300-watt head, so it's pretty normal.
The Presence control provides a fairly satisfactory plutt useful for slap, not adding normment background noise.

The sound is fairly neutral, this amp has no personality and basically that's what I was looking for. It is a conviction of my own: I do not color the amp to be free to add me even if I DSIR. The fans are the "right" are not lgions, but it is so much easier to add color to try to remove it.

So, its okay, we again face an amp modest training, no prtention. No lights or circuit simulation amp mythical as knob base.

I board not open the manual.

SOUNDS

It sounds right, so the sound is easily mess with any effect. It coexists quite well with my little Pandora PX3B and is one of only combo amp under 50w Tolra chorus without saturating, phnomne rare enough to be signal.

We did what we want, it support yesterday 3 hours RPET "quiet" mean volume and enjoyable surprise me.

Warwick Fortress Flashback with, the sound is prcis and powerful. Each note is perfectly intelligible and without excs in the spectrum. With the small multi-purpose, autowah + filter + rverb no problem, has sounded really good trs.

Playing with the controls of the bass EQ and SW20 we get a very big sound while still punchy trs. Ca claque well is prcis and definitely worth the slap attack.

It does not sound as warm a SVT or a Ashdown, but for a hundred dollars is a really good product trs.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it yesterday, but he served in a small adj RPET volume MODR with drummer ... Trs pleasant surprise.
I do not misais a kopek on Ibanez amp and I'm really delighted. Essay in 10 minutes in a shop with my bass has your exact t clear: it's perfect for what I want.

J'tais left for a Cube30, but the price of this little Roland cube made me hsiter. So I tried the "cheaper" with Warwick 20, a Laney HCM30 and said Ibanez SW20. IMMEDIATE verdict, the Ibanez is doing much better than other devices without using the Cube 30 (a micro-trs good combo).

This little combo amp occupies the place of training every day. It does not replace prtend the power of my other Systm, but perfectly fulfills its mission. Do not take it for what it is ...

This is not an amp scne, but for lugging around (12Kg I think) and play with friends rpt last minute in an apartment that's really top. I repeat, I had a bad trs prior on the Ibanez amp. Of course I changed my mind with this little combo that, without displaying the performance of the mastodon Eden untransportable makes TRS great service every day.

It is not forcment the best choice for everyone, but at least be MRIT essay.
I'm really happy trs. A hundred euros, 20 watts of great sound and lightweight laptop.
For me it is perfect and totally reasonable ... point with the PPET You Save I'll offer me the autowah my dreams! Thank you 'Banez!
