UTILIZATION

To find a sound, it's easy: we walk through the various menus of the table using the small arrows, we change the parameter on which we are, we record, and voila!
The parametric EQ is a bit tricky at first to who is accustomed to the good old knobs, do not hesitate to look far; downside: The sound palette is very wide :-)

Having put two modes, and Bank Program is a good idea: you can either change radically its either engage or not an effect (grain, reverb, delay, phaser, tremolo ...) inside of the same sound.
What makes that end, we can have more than 40 user sounds :-)
Very useful on stage.

SOUND QUALITY

Dixit guitarist Dreamlost ( http://www.dreamlost.net/ ) , to whom I lent it there's no longer on stage because he found himself in a galley amp: "It's horny, that thing!" ;-)

Seriously, the different grains are saturated all amazing. Should not compare it to a Mesa Dual body, obviously, but the bite of distortion is really present. The bass would be a chouille won more present, but there is still enough to shake the walls. With a Peavey Classic 50/50 in any case, it does!

The clean sounds are nice too. Curiously, here we can have really good bass, very clear and warm well (thank you ch'tite the lamp, I remind you ...) with a good neck pickup.

Regarding effects, I do not like the whammy and octaves, which have a "slight" delay in the sound, it's saying something: - \
In contrast, phaser, delay, reverb, flanger, tremolo, harmonizer are downright useful. For comparison, I almost bought a Pod2: all the amp models are quite realistic, as the effects are really useless ... I kept my RP-7.
The compressor is a real qq is little noisy, especially in large distortion. Do not abuse it too.
The noisegate is very effective.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over 2 years on stage, and it takes the shock! The metal case is .... solid.
The negative point is the case of external power supply, with a connection that is mindful to keep connected, just that:-p. Nevertheless, jacks and connectors are solid, so you really have to go like a bull to break something.
I put only 8 / 10, because obviously we can find a bigger sound effects and more effective, but certainly not for the same budget. Qualité.prix Level: 11/10: o)
