Fred The Shred « A must for clean sounds! »
Published on 08/12/13 at 14:37So mine is a 112 RP ONE HUNDRED 1979 according to the serial number.
I will not repeat the features already provided in the previous opinion, but yeah the transistor preamp and power Lampes.Et yeah it is manufactured by Leo Fender after he left home Fender / CBS.
Attention, there is only one channel, the footswitch is used to enable / disable the onboard phaser and reverb.
It is 100W and it sends severe, it can decrease the output by selecting High or Low on the standby switch. Well, the difference between the two is not huge, but we feel it anyway ...
Both high and low inputs let you adjust the type of guitar (single or double coil) to gain input of the amp.
UTILIZATION
For the settings it's plug and play, bass, middle, treble, reverb, good takes a little fiddling the Deep switches (boost the bass) and Bright (treble boost) depending on the guitar used to find the sound, but no more.
The manual is very helpful to understand all the possibilities offered by this amp via its reduced connectivity but very well thought out!
SOUNDS
The Son is superb, with incredible attack and great dynamics. This is in my opinion a less typical 60's "twin reverb" and sounds in the Police, The Cure, etc. ...
Especially with the phaser engaged, that sounds incredibly, never heard that with a pedal!
With a good strat is the foot, 5-position switch is rediscovered (positions out of phase are a treat, Mark Knofler fate of the body!) Is in my opinion one of the great qualities of this amp The sound of the guitar is used and respected retains its identity.
In another style, I listened to a Gibson ES175 in and it sounded really good, so good for jazz also because we can get a good Forested / mellow sound with a humbucker in the neck position for example
As against this, forget the saturated gain in the amount to 8 or 10, the sound becomes dirty very quickly, it can be interesting, but we see immediately that this is not done.
A good point for the master volume that allows you to play in an apartment with potato necessarily less at low volume, but always with a good definition and vintage grain.
OVERALL OPINION
I have 4 years, but it has been down for 2 years, I had shown various technical specialists tube amps, but the party seemed transistor ask worries and difficult to repair. Well finally someone gave me competent to manufacturer specifications and is like new! no buzz nothing! nickel!
Well, everyone who saw pass (technicians, vendors music stores) remember it as a great amplifier and often regret having sold.
Me priori I keep mine in spite of its weight (relative to its incredible size, whether the frame is cast ...), which can be a handicap in the long run if you have to lug in repeated regularly.
