Time to get srieuses ...

The setup: it's easy, well, it's a 16 W, the branch, one branch and balance it ...
It is with 5 knobs: one for volume, and 4 best efforts to settle low, sharp, high mids and low mids.
Sound: It is very easy to get the sound you want, that little cube has a sacred fishing in the lower ...
Manual: Frankly, for a 16 W, you open the manual? Anyway, if you feel the need, no worries, clear and concise.

SOUNDS

Personally, it's the amp with which I started and I can tell you that is excellent in the face of a scratch that spit of 30 W, believe me, it was great the way, say anything ( yes yes you read correctly, 16 W, 30 against). I jou punk, metal, ska, reggae, pop ... And a unit for the metal or it starts to limit (a face of 30 W), I never had a repprocher him. A faithful to his bass, that's what you can say!
Cort Action Bass with a classic beginner's bass, and a Boss metalzone, everything is fine.
I would not go up that you can draw her a 'lens', but when it comes to rock, no worries.

I hate the sounds? I spend ...

OVERALL OPINION

This amp in my room trolling for 4 years and it is still new. D an incredible strength, you do not you complain.
Before buying it I did not test for other models, so I go with the advice of the seller, who does not deceive me. Apart from a first model that I have of their return (the amp to Cramer during a feast of the birthday or I'd shoot a background), I n I had absolutely no problems since with the new, even at the bottom!

The quality / price was not bad n al time, it's cost me less than 200 euros (may be less, the figures and me ...).

What to remember about this amp? It's really basic amp, if you are new, I will challenge you to find better in this price range, the KBA16 is really excellent, and it makes me laugh when I hear some people say that d must be a minimum of 100 W to start, I have long jou with with dots scratch more powerfully, and a drummer (a real one, who clapped, sisi) and I would do this choice with his eyes closed ... as beginners, although even to play in the apartment or the headphone it is terrible that little.

Uh ... just one thing, I wonder where they went fishing that this amp is worth 70 euros al argus?

Single power supply, settings specific enough very good 16 w underestimated or snubbed!

UTILIZATION

Configuration, nothing complicated, you plug and balances you.

the sound is very good, more than good, given the size of the object, it is even very bluffant.on not expected to have such a quality fishing and out of a cube as small and lightweight and more.
man, yes, well I did have when you buy, did I read? no, too easy to use.

SOUNDS

I play rock, blues, and I even allowed times of talking heads or garage band with no problem and I have sound.
I play with a top PLO stringway no effects, just the bass and the amp, it is simply a matter of personal taste.
the low E comes out a bit messy at times empty. for the price eh?
treble and medium out very clean, but I never put it in depth, always the same machines thoroughly, all, that saturated.
I can play my guitar 6 strings with and without worries.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 years and without having had any problems, I play with headphones because the neighbors do not like the time I wanted to test the beast, to say that for a 16 W has a sacred potato . and I had a lot else before this one, the 100 or 150 w so I can get an idea of ​​its power.
quality / price ratio honestly, I had to buy the amp new at around £ 50 (it comes from England) or € + or - € 80 for nine qualities, I have not heard of others with the same sound quality and varied.
it's a combo to work at home and in small groups repeat, not a trick to make the scene and then the back room of a pub.
I would do no hesitate this choice and if unfortunately he sometimes irremediable failure, my choice would be quick, I return to the same.
