Tube amp of 18 watts, 2 JJ EL84 and a 12AX7 made in china, power mid volume (controlled by a TONELAB) is already beginning to twist my ears!
1 input for the instrument ... and yes, this amp is "without prejudice" so that we not connect anything from guitar to bass to keyboard ... advice to the amateurs!
An effects loop.

UTILIZATION

Such as IKEA, it fauit do some tinkering to install in the preamp, it is intended by the manufacturer of the templates for the main amp simulators on the market, LINE 6, VOX, BEHRINGER ... just follow the way of jobs, are stuck in a mess and it thing alum!

The heating time of standby electronics is about 1.30 minutes, the receiver is ready in 2 minutes!

As is "without prejudice" it faithfully reproduces the sound of the simulator connected!
The design of the box, closed type "bass reflex" allows the serious though ... severe including low volume, which is not to displease or my wife or neighbors also!

SOUNDS

Super versatile, this amp can make any sound living, whatever the degree of saturation or the effect that you want to generate.

The amp perfectly fulfills its mission to expand the simulteurs amp (TONETAB, V-AMP, POD ...) are only simulators, even if one lamp preamp, digital simulation is , it remains the simulation, for a real tube sound, nothing can replace a complete chain tube!

However, with a simulteur (and that's why we have one) is to virtually all amps of the earth, totally customizable!

So, from a can of time on the simulator is made out of sounds crazy.

Personally, I use a TONELAB, the basic sounds bad but its not I create a few dozen sounds would love to have friends scratch their conventional amplifiers.

OVERALL OPINION

For more than six months, I had time to get an idea about the quality of the bazaar, it is made in china (for the price, this is normal) and finishes make it Chill (I pinailleur before the Lord)
The practicality of the thing is being able to put her in simulator, it is powered by the amp that's cool ... by it is against the weight of 30 kilos ... 3 km is heavy ....

The tubes used are of bone quality, brand JJ, the bias is self-adjusting (they just change the lamp yourself .. if you know how to do it ..) for cons, the electronic components of a quality relative The auto standby is defective (rde stew capacitor Grandpa!) and the amp is 25 minutes before it is ready (but spent the 25 minutes of heating, the nickel market!)

The volume of TONELAB is particularly badly placed and easily accessible once the amp but hey, the oriculaire must serve a little o)

I cobbled together a support bracket for the VC4 in the back of the amp to include everything.

I told VALVES HOUSE MUSIC to Pigalle and I'll tell you how much it cost a standby electronics, I get it in 10 days.

Apart from this little problem that will be settled shortly, the value for money is more than good, it's a reliable receiver (electronics is sometimes the lottery) and then to 450 euros in nine Produktiv MUZIK .. .

The difference between an amp that a loved one is not ... Geul right!

Otherwise, taken with a microphone, on stage or in homestudio ... ca Depotter serious!

With the experience I would do this purchase, it lacks a second HP 12 "(output is expected!)

EDIT 03/08/06: I received today from his ride in Germany (I had to return home Musik Produktiv) and is in great shape, better than before! They changed the lights (3) resoldered different thing ... y'avait sake of short-circuit apparently ... Oh those Chinese ...
By the way, a HUGE nod to the team "France" MUSIK PRODUCTIVITY, Michael sent me a carrier came to the removal home, the joke would have cost € 90 at the very least if I had mailed and ... 0, not a fifrelin!
Thank you Violaine, Juta and Michel.
