UTILIZATION

It can hardly be simpler to use, and the sound is perfect.
But because there is one anyway, besides the perfection of sound, we must not put it anywhere ... So against a wall or a better angle of the wall for bass reflex ports to work.
So this excludes the use of feedback on outdoor scenes ... it's a bit unfortunate, but it is the jewel of the ransom.
in sound is perfect but I'm repeating myself as much clarity and definition without power problem in such a small thing is carément bluffing.
I play flamenco, funk and afro opportunity is on it's very sound, but frankly the same effects as the octave does it pose any problem.
The preamp is up (it's a buddy bass from the same brand) the settings its simple but very well studied. A flat on the compression that visibly do not attack me, I even have a kind of saturation on the agreements too powerful, it's a shame, because this detail is really near it on the very highest level.
whatever it wanted aisaiment can find it, but mostly because the return of the original sound (fingers and bass) is truly faithful.

SOUNDS

in fact this amp has become my third hand. still there in small repeated on stage or Caf Conc preamp and if not big on outdoor scenes, and even in the dressing rooms to warm up, that I even play in my garden battery, short indispensable.
the sound is still there and very easy to manage in terms of change of style (even reggae it goes).

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this amp in 2008 from thomann and I like everything except the compression sometimes.
this is not an amp for metal or large (too large) volumes of sound, but what looked to PJB is successful:
amp not too expensive to extremely detailed, very solid and easy to use for a minimum of space. (Tower computer ...)
I remake that choice without any hesitation.
also if I have to keep larger scenes I will remain loyal to the brand from now completing my gear by model 300w, but for anything I do not separate myself from my briefcase.
