Small transistor combo 30W.

HP (sight of pif, I would say) 8 ", but it has space (acoustic load). Closed back.

2 input jacks one for signal.

Pots input gain and output level.

3-band eq, presence Knob, switchable compressor with LED (indicating if it is engaged, do not ask more).

Front effects loop (send and return) and headphone output.

Switch on / off.

So far, so well done, after all ...

UTILIZATION

The setup is pretty simple ... but I wish I had the manual (I bought used) because when we started, not easy to know what to listen with names like "presence" and "compressor".

Apart from that, not difficult to use.

For the "good sound", it comes back later!

SOUNDS

While there, the sound ... my friends, is another joke!

Already be clear, this thing is not that a sound: soft and flat. The HP is very poor and the panel settings have virtually no effect on what comes out.

I used it with a Yamaha RBX260 bass (the entry level of the late 90s) but all in all nice basic. And as we talk about the bass amp that respect, as I'm sure this amp only respects himself (so to speak): certainly, if you connect an excavator compet in there, it will sound ... flat and soft.

Moreover, most of the time, I used my bass without the amp. That will tell you.

I also tried to take her to my first rehearsal ... do not count: Unable to push the beast. Anyway, 30W, it is not made for that, but more HP is bad, you were told!

In short, I put 1 because at least it will stop producing sound when it is turned off.

OVERALL OPINION

I kept it easily 6 years old, but I did not play the bass a quarter of an hour per month during that time. When I bought another amp, I got rid of it without wanting a penny!

Obviously, I bought it at the same time as my first bass at the time I just knew he needed an amp but knew nothing. I do not blame the seller refourgué me this: I bought in a cash converters 200FF.

Of course, with experience, I do not do it again this election, and I do not advise this combo especially for a beginner: there is no way to enjoy playing an instrument with such a tool.

For value for money ... say you pay dearly for a big heavy box that will gather dust. Rather buy an old radio tube real wood (which no longer works, of course, if it's worth more) on a flea market, if you really want to decorate your home.

The feature I like most, at last, no longer have it. I put 0 because I do not really see who could get the utility of such a device.
