32 kg, it weighs its weight, some find it too heavy compared to the amps high end brand.
Me it does not bother me. It is almost reassuring.
And it is also less plastic.
Handy handles on the sides (it's better than a handful on top).

UTILIZATION

Simple setup.
Knob one for the compressor.
Light manual (downloadable from the site) in French.
Its got a very quick, easy and memorable.

SOUNDS

Very wide range of sounds obtained from the infrabass that shook the walls, sounds very fat and saturated rocks, through sounds very well defined and precise.
No need to add effect.
500W that leaves come. I play through the volume to 3 with a drummer and a guitarist.
I play mostly pick. The compressor is excellent (it catches up with my game not always perfect when I sing), with moderation.



OVERALL OPINION

Used for 3 months.
I tried ampeg (big disappointment, finishing very cheap combos) Markbass (good but no compression and then more expensive) Hartke (I do not know what it's worth Hydrive b100 sound enough but the metal).
I love her.
This is not the sexiest amp, enough in fact happening everywhere (I'm not talking about weight). In any case an exemplary finish. The solid.
Value for money: the quality is there and there are more expensive, so ... that's good.
Anyway I love.

It's a transistor amp, but with a real purpose lamp that gives a very round if desired.
Opportunity to connect directly to the mixer.
It has a power of 500 W and without playing too much we already feel the vibrations.


UTILIZATION

Easy to use, can record 3 sounds.
It has a wide variety of sounds: treble that one little crack to slap or mitigated to a rounder sound, which is really soft and cozy, if desired ... Opportunities within very short.

SOUNDS

With a good bass (for me Musicman Stingray 5), I think we can play tt music style thanks to its large range of possibilities.
Note that the cash fine mega bass of the 5th string.
For my part with the effect "Tubetone" which gives its lamps.
I most often a well rounded but not stifled that gives accuracy to my game with the clarity of sound.

OVERALL OPINION

Very good value for money for this amp that do not look, but ensures that serious!
I've used Hartke 350W, 1 amp 3 bodies by repeating, in a combo trace eliot 250w ... and others ...
For a simple combo .... it really enough to satisfy and meet the greatest number.
Try it!
