UTILIZATION

Usage is really simple trs. Basically, by volume, we can not play on the presence, so it is very easy to reach the optimal rglage just by turning the knob more or less. And it's not worse! Indeed, even when boogie done a good job because the correction is both wide enough, and trs prcise rpart well on all the action of potart.

As conserne manual, there's no more than 3 / 4 pages used. The explanations are clear, and 100% prsice practice.

SOUNDS

I use the fity / fity with TriAxis for concerts and a Marshall JMP-1 for rptitions.

Sometimes I play ball, where it is both the bagpipes, as songs of variation on Franaise or otherwise, but I'm also from a metal culture, and in all cases figure, the amp gives me satisfaction. We'll even when careful to keep the lights (especially power) in a good state to keep niaque. In this regard, I urge the MESA 6L6 (420 or 430).

The sound is a little darker and hollowed from a VHT 2/90/2 (Mount in KT88). But the sound is the PRCI, dynamic, allowing a majority of styles ... and growls!

It ENTSO, as I said above, the lack of switch to change the sound as could a Deep, a modern or voicing ...

OVERALL OPINION

The power amplifier is a matress pice of string of amplification. I have not had it before normment (Marshall 8008, Marshall EL84 20/20 and Mesa / Boogie 20/20), but for having the four at the same time, I was able to compare and see how he had a definite influence ... so that the choice of HP and pramplis ...

I really dcu t by the Mesa 20/20 as there's no drooling! with the 50/50, it was more bass, and especially a much more prcis ...

I use it for just over two years.

I also have a comparrer 2:90. Without engaging the Deep or modern, the sounds are identical, but I find that the price diffrence between the two to nine (1100euros) is not really justified ... but 2:90 is when m I most comprehensive ...

We love:
- 2 * 50W power lamps in Boogie, more than enough to play with scne 2 4 * 12!
- A 2U any evidence (tle 2.5mm for the front ...), corrosserie sober and well thought out.
- Rsonnable weight (11.4 kg PSE on my person, 0)).
- A system that effectively and trs silencieu cooling lamp ... which is far from being always the case!
- A good value trs qualitprix over the range 2000-3000euros.

It ENTSO:
- The impossibility to remove the power cable which is a shame for those who use a Furman power supply type ... it will cut the cable.
- A single standby for 2 channels ... t would clearly seen for those who only uses one HP (rpter for example ... even if only ESG no, the lamps on the other charges remain in ct ...)
- Low power switch that does not have a lot of action ... on THE FIRST half of the knob: 0 /
- No switch to change the sound.

A pure version a bit for the 2 * 50 Boogie from his great ERRF, the 2:90, but still an excellent choice compared to other brands in the same price range (around 1300euros nine)
