UTILIZATION

A simple amp, just what I was looking, with well-defined settings and a manual very precise. Impossible to get lost!
The handles are really very practical (especially when you must pass through Lyon).
The previous owner had fitted smoothly over longer need to carry it through the house!

What is stunning is that even a quarter or half of the volume, bass and a guitar plugged into it, the amp does not blow! I find it really great, if only to play alone or with another instrument, it's really going on everywhere!

SOUNDS

I find it super versatile, he is doing for all styles, all techniques. The piezo is itself significant for an amp of this range, including slap!

The sound is very round, the settings are accurate we can get a good range of sounds.

I was looking for a versatile amp, with a little power in case. I tried and bought the amp a little "eyes closed" but I am hyper satisfait.Aucune saturation, even at ¾ of the volume the amp always sends the same, and without flinching!

OVERALL OPINION

Not knowing the brand and who bought a little "eyes closed" I find it really great, small size, simple, an amplifier that sends serious, with one or two instruments connected to it. I recommend it to anyone looking for a good compromise between flexibility / price.

Before buying it I tested it with a US Jazz Bass, one of his egg! I currently play with a low-end LTD and Mex Deluxe Jazz Bass, I would not call the LTD because I find the sound too metallic (on other amps like it go) but then the Jazz Bass ... what a treat! !
