Dark Touffus « With a Les Paul ... A KILLER! »
Published on 01/06/14 at 10:10Well then begin:
This is a hybrid amp so amplification tube (two EL34) and transistor preamp BUT it has a lamp (12AX7 if I am mistaken) that role reversal phase.
Power:
This is 30W but it rocks pretty good I think.
The connectors:
An input-input
It footswitch
-2 Outputs for hps (4 or 8 ohms)
A line-out
And the effects loop
Settings and effects:
For the settings there 9 knobs, left to right: reverb, master volume, bass, middle, treble, volume, tone, volume, gain.
So indeed, there is a footswitchable reverb (which is also reviewing home).
UTILIZATION
The configuration of the amp is super simple, you plug all, we expected a little lighter and plays! I had no manual or preset with everything.
In terms of sound ... must take time to get the one you want.
With my les paul is simple and bim I plug everything sounds better to set anyhow.
But with my Sg is more difficult, I think with EQ it should be better but I like not had the opportunity to try.
I'm very happy all the same, there is no picture!
SOUNDS
I am a repeat with, he did not displease me yet this is hardcore punk to Have Heart.
Otherwise it is a beast for the blues sound is warm and sounds particularly well with my Egmond Lucky 7.
For the settings I have not been around long enough to say it, it looks like this or that.
This amp, I prefer the boost channel, it gives (gain background) just a terrible distortion for a Marshall 1986 I had never seen anything in the genre!
the sounds I like least is when the knob "tone" is not fully or almost I think the sound is serious, down and finally it sounds hurt my ear (matter of taste).
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a week or two on a 1x12 or 2x12. I tried a lot of my amp that much (more than a JCM800 that is to say), the 30W makes it usable without hurting the ears, it is quite light and is the lowest level format as 800 or 900.
I really like the Marshall Grain present even in the distortion!
For value for money ... I can not say I had a good occas', specifically a simple exchange against a guitar.
I would do this choice between miles is a monster sound that is usable!
