«  It holds up »

Published on 01/01/13 at 15:42
Transistor amp it says 300 watts, but that it will be with the additional HP as the combo alone under 8 ohm, 165 W. fate
Settings: gain compression (only 1 setting, discrete), enhance (bof), bass, treble, équalo 7-band tweeter on / off, limiter (or rather HP protection mode on / off, hired by default), and master
An effects loop, tuner output, a DI out

UTILIZATION

The config is simple, the sounds are quite malleable, so it manages to sound different bass (6 string fretless 4), and play with different styles.

SOUNDS

No surprise, to play rock between 2 fridges (1 marshall for the guitarist on the garden side, 1 Framus courtyard) and a drummer behind expressive, it appears.
Even if the sound seems neutral when setting line6 pod xt input a certain amp models are not at all compatible with the amp - this is it has a color to it.
A high volume, I thought were very sharp treble: option 1, lower treble eq while leaving the active tweeter, but works much better option 2: cut the tweeter!

OVERALL OPINION

Used in recent years, in rehearsals and concerts (bars / outdoor transplants).
The feature I like the most: it holds up, we can always find a frequency that guitarist - by chance or luck - let free, and rush in with the equalizer, which is specific .
The feature I like least: the plastic side handles, which break in pieces: first because it is difficult to carry, the second effect, it puts a vibrating more unsavory. I thought I was going to change the HP to use the good old protocol "I disassembled the stuff one by one until it works again."
With experience, I would do this choice.
