Art SGX 2000

All effects are Submitted, modulations, delays and reverbs, pitch, filters, high pass and low pass, equalizer, exciting, etc ...
The version I possde diffrent is the picture and seems more feature rich.
The original sculptures RSID in its architecture:
multi effects numrique coexists with a conventional preamp transistors, and therefore can be dosed 3 buttons grace the percentage of signal DIRECT - Analog - Numrique to send the outputs.
Effects (digital) type lamps and prampli transistors are of excellent quality. It is true that art has a 12AX7 intended for this purpose.
TRS connectors allows rich insrer other effects (loops)
The order of effects is Settings, which is important.
The icing on the cake is the use with the original pdalier (X15), which allows two grace of expression pedals to change the value of two parameters chosen by the user while real time. (A rgal on dlais rverbs and others)
Global connectivity is excellent.
I / O XLR or phone jack guitar + facade + midi in / out

UTILIZATION

Programming patches is very simple, two buttons to be incremented Dfile the parameters and to edit.

the parameters offered are many and "talking".

The manual, however, is translated in french ... trs "word word". Expect phrases like: "Connect your effector ... etc ..."

SOUNDS

The effects are generally satisfactory trs.
Mention trs good for:
- Pramplis
- Compressors - NG - expander
- Dlais - Rverbs
Honors for:
- Modulation (phase - chorus - flanger)
- Pitch
- Amp Simulator
Words "you see a" for:
- + Whah filters
- Effects of gate
- Ring modulator

Personally, I use this preamp with a standard strat US BLADE Texas and this one is vintage and shows trs respectful of stamps of each instrument.
Clearly if you plug a guitar trs average, you will get a rsultat trs way, unless you put the direct 0.

My patch is based preamp prfrs lamps (tubes classic) and dlais rverb or flange.
It reminds be of vital use pdalier consquent (X15) that allows you to change two parameters impact the choices.
Try a time limit (time limit of the volume) and a pitch (change the pitch of -12 +12) and you get an IDE capabilities of the machine.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since 1998.
I prfres prampli this is its architecture trs labore to chop sound perfectly.
In the era of this purchase, I tried the Rocktron line and I have not found this one in the fineness of the ART.
The report quality era or the price I bought n'tait forcment not the best, (HA + 8000 Frs pdalier 2000), however it is a machine buy now in time.
Be careful though on occasion, check the health of the lamp (dual 12AX7) and buy a new one if possible.
With the exprience, I would do this choice, even if today the modeling alternatives exist.

I add a little notice to specify:
amp lamp / 8 presets with different transistor
input jack on the front, the back contains
a true stereo loop, single loop, the two are activated
the menu of presets, allowing to integrate or not
these effects without décabler favorite qouique either: practice;
stereo line input is a fraud: it is summed
the entrance to the preamp in mono, too bad for keyboards and
Other machines: one is the stereo multi-effects, not the preamp!
was the post-EQ on the front is also very practical
and especially the mix of effects, which can manage the level
effects on stage in a flash ...
against by two units is a big rack, not very nice ... you can not have everything

UTILIZATION

It's pretty easy to use, especially with the doc!
the manual is very well done, and within minutes we
knows by heart, top navigation is over
other brands;
the interest is:
a high quality preamp: super compressor, exciting,
8 and the choice of preamp allow a lot of varieties in
distortions or clean;
effects of very high quality but the chorus is really
very light (it is perhaps a mistake, given how the rest sounds!)
and the pitch is old, so slow and kitsch plastic!
This amp can reproduce any sound from any
guitar (except metal), even if the interest is of course to
own sounds;
In any case, overall, it sounds very English rock I think.

SOUNDS

Very nice clean, good crunch, very good distos,
the reverb is beautiful, the time is up,
there are plenty of dynamics, it sounds right now
and this makes all the difference by giving
an unexpected relief (but you have to play in stereo for that):
the panner that sweeps from left to right with the speed and duration
we want is really beautiful (I have the chameleon
Rocktron, which has the most beautiful modulations, but in the end
outweighs the SGX for relief in stereo and the harmonics
due to the lamp), but the Rocktron is doing when-
very well;

OVERALL OPINION

Shame about the false stereo, damage to the chorus
ridiculous, the rest is excellent, it is the rack that I keep
at home for recording, on stage, the chameleon
that my favor for his size / sound reproduction;
I added my favorite pedals (chorus marshall, and flanger
more dod overdrive, bad monkey and digitech synth wah, and I
The most beautiful sound of the earth as it is I who made ...
if I had not, I would have ...
