Amp transistors
280W in 8ohms, 450W in 4ohms, 8ohms HP internal.
A piezo tweeter blowing a bit.
Between Jack and XLR, XLR output, effects loop, tuner output, making HP external.
Gain, 4 band EQ, VLE and VPF (buttons "magic" to see the manufacturer's website), Vol.
Possibility to configure the output XLR pre or post-eq.
Trs minimalist but effective.
Trs good electronics, with little interference, micro bass.

A reserve of power hallucinating. I never t beyond rglage third of the volume, and again, just to try because it is untenable in a small room.

Argument: 13.5 kg!
In fact I bought it for its size, weight, sound trs little color and secondarily for its power (100W would have sufficed, but the other 100W amps are bigger, heavier and less sound. ..).

I put 9 because I would have a well liked among post-eq and a small compressor ...

UTILIZATION

VPF: prshape a filter that boosts the bass and treble down and the medium gradually
VLE: a low pass filter which frquence Sets the cutoff.
A, the palette of sounds is standard and it RULES dj in two seconds.
If not enough has active equalizer is also effective trs.
Manuel impeccable. It's people who love what they do who have described, has shows.
I put 10 because I do not see anything wrong.

SOUNDS

I have an Ibanez GSR-180, I play jazz.

If rglages are neutral, the sound of the amp like the one we have the headphone. Lgre a color (it's not the fi either ...) but not much compared to other brands.
The bass is a little in comparison to the strait Markbass mini CMD151 example, I would say we feel that the speaker is a bit small ... but again, this speaker size is infinitely better than other brands. Also, I've realized this when I inconvnient able to compare directly with the CMD151 in question.

For coloring (or lack of color), we like it or not. I like to hear the sound of the bass. Obviously this is not a light amp and there is no compressor. Needless to seek the help of this ct l. ..

In my opinion it can amplify a trs good electronic drum set, keyboard, or anything else (for a guitar, unless you have a pdalier modlisations with it without perhaps a little limited ...). Probably gnial for bass.

I put 8 because since I find that when CMD151P is even better in sound, with a compression tweeter and a 15 inch. on the other hand, has not returned nor in my budget, or in the trunk of my car ...

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 10 months.
I like: the size, weight, sound.
I like least: the rear wind, but hey, did save space.
I tried everything there was less than 1500 euros in the store. This is the best compromise his / weight / size / power. To be honest, I wanted a 100W amp easy to transport. I thought I put less than half of what I pay the Markbass. It took me a few weeks and several visits to the store to convince me to pay the price.

As for the price just is not given but it is assembled in Europe (Italy prcisment) unlike many brands that spray the sponge and do everything to Asia ... and I did not do better for this price.
