UTILIZATION

This is really basic to use. There can trs of rglages and sounds in all configurations, like everything I tried in SWR elsewhere.
The manual is in french trs clear, no questions ask.
The only default is the cubic form, you can not tilt the amp as a return, it must be surrlever to make the most of the sound. On this point, other brands (Hartke and Gallien) are a little better.

SOUNDS

I really like SWR, so I'm not all can be completely impartial.
It was for grain SPECIFICATIONS amps to the brand.
The sound is trs round, soft and pchu at the same time difficult to explain ... but for a small combo is relatively inexpensive carrment bluffing.
I can connect with my Stingray bass prampli the bottom, never has not saturated. With a low Leduc MP4 with passive Seymour Bassline, the rendering is excellent and can bnficier trs effective correction of the amplifier. Ms. low notes are fine. Must prciser I do not use 5 strings.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 months. To beginners, I bought a small reclining Hartke A35, the sound seemed fine (the store). But several APRS uses, its silent and serious evil rotten Defines. I quickly returned home SWR, I use other brand Systm + + and especially big ones.
This small LA12 can be sound that kills for a minimum investment. It is a little weak to play with a drummer who bangs STRID but it really is perfect for home and quiet gigs.
