Emulated line-out ATTENTION THIS LINE OF INTERFERENCE ISSUES IN TIMES PALM MUTE ON VERY LOW NOTES WHEN THE LEAVES HIS TRAINER (except for this problem is damn well I use it all the time)

the strength of this amp: IT ALL!
which is not always easy for this price range

UTILIZATION

The settings are very intuitive, and have a good sound you must put the volume at least 2 (but already there is less agreement about)

the manual is not supplied with the unit, it is in English but available on the manufacturer.

on the other hand need to have back pain because it is heavy, a good twenty pounds at least.

An annoying detail: the fuse blows once in twenty when I turn it on, so I expected the reserve fuse, but this just may be my wiring (which is to have 40 or 50 years)

SOUNDS

I play metal and punk with a lag AK200, it suits me perfectly for this. I do not branch no effect on this amp, it would be a shame, I love the sound as it is!

You can not really find its very clean with clear this amp (it will still be slightly crunchy), its strength is the distortion I get out of a Marshall Valvestate 100W and a metal zone and I will never! For you have to push against the volume at least two for the sound that kills (which can cause problems with neighbors)

To play with a hair cell battery is what is needed, except perhaps for the great Bourin very muscular, although in this case it would be better out of several speakers to broadcast the sound rather than take an amp more powerful (in my opinion).

When you push the volume we have a good sound that enters the body and not a sound all that loud farts ears (but you can also pushing the treble and turning down the rest).

I put that 8 because it is not usable at low volumes and it's really annoying, except that I will detail 9 (because you can do better by putting more money)

OVERALL OPINION

I for one year.

What I like most about him is the sound lights, powerful, powerful! and also the price since I got it on sale -30% then to 580 € (unbeatable!)

What I like least is the weight (but good quality amps are often very heavy) and the fact that it is too powerful for me, I wanted a 30W or 40W, but there had not (apparently there are a Fallen Angel 40dsp).

I tried that here before buying, because it had everything that I could not get with my budget (€ 600) and the sound I immediately liked

the price / quality ratio is unbeatable!
