«  Stunning! »

Published on 04/07/13 at 13:44
Swedish brand but Asian manufacturing for reasons of cost, very nice work!
Chevaler Tune O Matic fixed Resinator handle (resin) super nice to touch and play
Level frets, there are plenty but the highs are hard to access for a beginner.
Micro level, the Peru Humbuckers Made in Hagstrom, and split into single coils, 2 volumes, 2 tones, a 3-position selector.

UTILIZATION

Very very nice handle, good overall balance (the handle does not sting the nose too) weight "consistant" but reassuring and providing excellent sustain.
Access to acute complicated for a beginner (like me).
Very good sound even unplugged!

SOUNDS

And sound! rather sounds with humbuckers to single convertible!
It is tough, powerful but warm, round and well slamming double, single with a significant power loss to offset the gain level of the amp.
Blues, rock, hard rock nickel, it sends.
Played on a Ibanez TSA15H all lamps and night on a Zoom G3: a pleasure!
Best sound: big sound heavy (but not too much metal either though ...) and the blues. BB King is me (well almost ...)

OVERALL OPINION

Few months with her and I think only to play again and again!
This is my first and probably for a long time.
Purchased after reading moults sites, reviews ... then tested in the vendor with a guitarist friend.
Validated purchase when buying the amp in the store. Beginner, I asked a guy to kindly make it sound on the Ibanez that I coveted. A regular tumbling, head of mag asks her to play ... and there! Slap to all the guys present. The guy advised me to buy the guitar (already done!) And the amp is downright stunning.
Balance, I bought the amp and I'm proud to confess that the guitar is already mine, na na na!
So yes I would do this choice.
Besides my guitarist friend bought the same one month after attempted.
Superb!
