-1 Passive input
-1 Input active or passive (it is questionable usefulness of the passive input only)
-1 Output to another HP in 8 ohm
-1 Effects loop
-1 Tuner output
DI -1
Among the pots:
- Gain
- Enhance
- Setting and gain control + low frequency (all in 3 pots)
- Treble + control gain and frequency (all in 3 pots too)
- Volume
- A button to enable or disable compression
- A button "limit defeat"
- A horn button to activate or not the tweeter
The HP is a 15-inch with a switchable tweeter.
The amp is solid state power is 175 W.
UTILIZATION
The configuration is not very complicated, I got no manual and I'm always out.
SOUNDS
I have long played on a bass aria pro II and I must say that the result in terms of sound quality never really made happy (for lack of means I'm satisfied). Very suspicious of the quality of the bass, I bought a bass Musicman Bongo 5-string with which I could truly realize the limitations of this amp.
First its a relatively round and now unfortunately I'm quite disappointed by its performance in the bass, despite the presence of HP 15-inch, low saturated quickly notament the use of the string if (in fact I ' have reduced the use of the amplifier to about 20% of its total power max).
In the acute no problem there has potato slap in notament can even add activating the tweeter, only flaw on it: it hums slightly (I bani live sound engineer for the systematic application " What's that noise? ")
The equalizer when to him is not really effective it scans a spectrum ranging from 100 Hz to 4 kHz a gain adjustment up and down can focus on the two frequencies (one can easily find something better on another amp).
Compression and "limit defeat" is a much less efficient compared to the equalizer, in short ...
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for almost five years, he never let go despite a sometimes very severe use (fully several hours). Among the good points I would note its robustness and its price (420 Euros bought new) and the possibility of using it as a return because it has a pan for 45 ° tilt. Among the bad sound quality that is not exactly linear over the frequency spectrum, weight (but hey this is the case of many amps).
So, I would not recommend users to 5-string bass with 4 strings is doing pretty well, the price / quality ratio seems reasonable without necessarily being a good deal. With experience I will maybe not the same choice as it must surely be better for the same price.
