Value For Money :
Poor
For all the features it has been included in the previous review.
I'll take the main points:
- Combo transistor to "low" 50 w equipped with an HP 6 ".
- There is a "low" input, volume, an equation knob "VPF" the famous (Variable Preshape filter) audio input and a headphone jack.
- Back: DI output an HP external output (denoted "tweeter") and food fan ... Adds a switch to turn off the internal hp and a switch to ground.
- Dimensions: 27 cubic cm and weighs 4.2 kg.
So much for the purely technical features ... simplistic? Yes but in the end this amp full of surprises!
UTILIZATION
If the config is simple! This is a joke?
With a button for the volume and the other for the FFT? I do not see how "more" easy!
Sound: it is obtained by adjusting the level (volume) and then depending on the "type" of sound you want. If you want the sound of his low VPF is left at 0. The more you go, the more it cuts mids! So the sound is more modern (if JB or PB is used)!
The very good thing is that I hesitated to choose this amp because of the lack of "standard" EQ bass / med / high. But finally it works best! I was really impressed with the build quality and the efficiency of the system!
What I like most: the weight! (A blessing!) Congestion (it takes so little space you can move very easily), the explosive power that can not be repeated play house concert ...
SOUNDS
For the style, it's markbass! So the opposite of "vintage". It is a modern sound that can play in lots of styles (reggae to rock, blues, funk, soul ...) wholesale from the edgy metal, it provides!
I only tested on Jazz bass and precision bass: RAS!
What I really like is how the sound "Markbass" lets you drill the mix without having to be ultra strong! The sound is clean clear defined. The distinct sound of the bass. It is a pleasure to play on this listbox!
I thought the HP 6 "would have trouble with the bass ... Well the first test by connecting:! Wow ... What the hell is that rich sound, clean, flexible ... Anyway very surprising! I first tested alone. For the home work oxen apart, of the titles work sessions or play "soft" is really the "perfect! Low on the back, the receiver in one hand! And presto! It is a pleasure to carry ... And the first time you show it by saying: "This is my new bass amp!" people are genuinely surprised!
It should be clear, without being dubbed the amp is limited by its 50w announced. Besides this topic is clearly safer than the 50 watts at Markbass worth of 150/200 w advertised elsewhere ...
At the same time the sensitivity is 100 dB which is this great feeling of sound diffusion!
Only it is already prepared for a lot of situations!
Comes the second step: connect an external cab. And here we go into another dimension ... I first tested on a 2 x 10. "And then I took a slap! It was just" awesome "... I could not believe my ears!
So I took the challenge of the coupling to a speaker and a repeated attempt (with two guitars, drums, harmonica ...).
I played 4/6 which leaves plenty of room yet! And frankly mounted really became too much! (And we are talking about a combo of 50 w!). I tested some time by cutting the internal hp. This is very good even if it loses more acute with the internal hp tuned!
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for quite some time. But I do not regret choosing this system before! for the back, the transport is just awesome!
I wanted to get a smaller body than a 3 to play at home, possibly repeat, and also supply various cattle system. not as bad I was tired of lugging my battery hp, amp ... who often make huge weight ...
This thing is top! More as I find myself in an apartment, I wanted something "compact". This is the height thing with MicroMark! It moves like a pen, it's so compact that was almost afraid to forget ... In short, a treat for those who are often (or not for that matter) "nomadic".
It will almost daily situations ... For repeated / concerts provide a cab more! For concerts I intend to use it with a cab and go back in the sound!
The Q / P ratio: hard to say because it's ultra-expensive even for a combo Cygnus 50 w. Now when you realize the quality, power, sound ... It can only be bleuffé! Like any quality has a price!
What I like: almost everything!
I love ... is going to be a few watts more leaves to add a few grams!
