So a combo mosfet (transistor "improved") of 65 watts, on a hill celestion speaker (hence good quality 12 inches. 6-band equalizer, leveling the gain, 8 adjustable digital effects (4 chorus, 2 flanger, 1 slapback, an echo)
There is a Knob "notch" which effectively Ganges sound, but I do not really know what he has is ...
There is a DI, which is convenient to register at'm easily without beaucop of material. Also, taking "CD in" to connect a walkman to train, or connect another instrument has low volume (for a course for example).
There is also an effects loop, and an output to connect the amp to another speaker. I do have never been used.

UTILIZATION

I bought without a manual, and I've never had need. It was my first amp, I do not know much at that time, but I can say that APRS always satisfies me more than 6 years. the sound is relatively warm for a transistor amp. I am using does not Gnrale effects, but those on offer by this amp enough for me when I needed.

SOUNDS

I play metal with my groups, but this amp serves me dsormais at home to train. I play it with 2 bass: a Cort Artisan A4 (former model) in MightyMite team, and an ESP / LTD F-404 with EMG 35DC team. Evec the Cort, the sound is pretty clear that I can mess with Knob gain, but with LTD, I naturally gain office. The problem with this bass is that when I push the bass, the amp can saturate a fast, cel forces me to lower the output level of my bass, or Modra equalo the amplifier and bass in the bass frequencies. I do not know if this is normal or if I did not hurt my HP, because when I was young and stupid, I tend to fuck the low frequencies at the bottom ... After all, even when EMG 35DC are powerful. That said I have had this pb once reglacges amended, and does not my palette Reduces sound at all (low frequency boost on a 12 inch not in itself be very useful, and n is never good for any HP has long-term).

I'd say this amp meets quite well the sound of the bass. It is not particularly clear. I would say he has a good sound that lacks all, in that it is not a lamp.

OVERALL OPINION

I therefore used since June 2004, over 6 years now. I have not tried many other amps in this range, but I do not feel the need! It has a nice sound and versatile.
Personally, I find it just too much for group play, but depends on the cell material of other musicians if they have any Staks 100w lamp, there is not even thinking. If there is only rpeter where everyone plays on combo has will do. This is a good practice amp, or to concerts in small bars, but a good combo 65 watt transistor, nothing more. I recommend it to those who need an amp compact, reliable, playing in group mean volume.
I could settle for less to use than I am now, but I do not regret that choice, and I do not resell.
