Best value:
Excellent
Hybrid amplifier
+ + Channel 1: clean / crunch (tt transistor) a gain, an "adjustment" bass, a "control" medium, a "setting" acute, a switch clean / crunch on the amp
+ + Channel 2: overdrive / lead (1 lamp preamp and power amp transistor) a gain, a 3-band eq with knobs, 1 volume and a contour
- + Power: 80 w
- + Connectors: input, line out (for output mixing desk or pc .. why not), footswitch, bouccle effect in and out
+ + Reverb integrated
+ + Sw channel footswitch with a 1 / 2 and a reverb on / off
Everything looks good in the features it lacks can be an extension speaker, a headphone jack too ...
I note according to its class, because you can not compare this amp to a 10 watt transistors or a small 100 watt Soldano ..
UTILIZATION
+ - The settings are very simple, just turn the head so one of + or - it's not a big deal on this amp.
- The pots have influence only from uin certain volume before it is useless to set it always sound the same!
+ + The manual? I know I've never seen the color but not required!
- From a volume too loud the sound becomes inaudible and downright dirty, too leaning toward the treble
:: I put 6 for ease of settings that will suit perfectly for a beginner, you get the sound you want after a short time, finally, be careful not to ask too much is not crazy about this amp precision !
SOUNDS
I jouepas lot of rock, made up of 70's or riff with palm pTis AccordD in the sum of the fine or 41 lead to satriani (I do not know if you can call it beautiful little experience saw my guitar!)
.. I play on cort m600 and I do not use my amp in the multi purpose because it produces too much breath (it's the multi purpose) so jai a raw sound that fits in the amp
+ - Then clean it is not horrible but I can not find the sound I was looking for (warm sound a little crunchy on the Soldano, or just like pink floyd) remains Honorable .. But no versatile .. I did not find overwhelming clean ...
+ - + I play some blues, but sometimes I use the crunch for flirting and minitier blues and I find it quite nice, you really push the gain so that it is good especially with the guitar neck pickup in position .. pity he does not arrive before
+ + - Ah the disto c'estr part quite successful on this amp .. OD1 channel bah I do not use it, or very rarely, there is no sound I'm looking for against the OD2 channel is really good ... harmonics are good ... c not accurate enough for my taste but not too runny either honnnorable so it is versatile enough thanks to the pot edge even though he is a gd role!
--- The reverb is very good to put one but it would be even better now if it was not there just to decorate and make a footswitch knob + of the amp .... because it is very very feeble that!
I put 5 because the sounds are not great but not bad either it's still nice as it remains at a reasonable volume 3 to 4 with a gain in half. From 6 it gets too rough and worn to the acute
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a year so I really amlpi around this, but it allowed me to find the sound I'm looking for one I love and then direct me to a later model with a its more defined. He made a lot of my services and never failed (apparently I'm lucky!)
:: I recommend for beginners is a great amp to start, of course if it is in good condition! Not too expensive, you can start a scene with little (well not too long because you get tired very quickly on scene to play with)
:: If I referrer I began the same choice but DAHS or I am I want to pass on a good vieu tt kind lamps rivera chubster example!
.. I put 6 because I find them quite interesting distos even if they are not fabulous and it is still a pretty good value for money knowing that € 250 amps new one does what? not much!
