«  A true portable amp, discover! »

Published on 10/11/10 at 04:34
Head transistors, Class D
Only 175W, 300W with an additional speaker
A power output jack 6.35mm
An additional output Speakon
1 DI output
An effects loop output
1 tuner output

Equalizer: bass, medium rather semi-parameter, acute
3 switches to accentuate low, medium and / or acute
A mute button

1 Knob for master gain

No effect, no Pre-amp lamp either.
Note: The better version  (Shuttle 6.0) has a pre-amp lamp
In short, classical and it proves itself

Finish very good: screen processing, chassis and buttons look solid

Speaker: 1x10 "(also available in 8" and 12 ")

Dimensions and weight are a dream to fragile bassplayers like me (less then 10 kg)

UTILIZATION

The handling is very simple. The manual (in English) I used mainly for rglages DI.
EQs at noon rang dja. Plutt very good, then!
I put 9 for the manual is not translated, even if I did not have gn.

SOUNDS

I tried it with DIFFERENT bass (jazz bass deluxe active, precision passive bass, gibson EB-2 (half body) in all 4 strings.
Styles: pop, soul, some jazz ...

This amp is very transparent, we can not say it provides staining particulire. Very good dynamics, good rendering techniques "percussive" (block string, slap ...)

In short, a sound not too tipical  but of very good quality.
Note that the sound of the DI is also very good: no noise what so ever.

With an additional speaker (a 2x10 Mesa / Boogie for me), it has taken  another dimension: it keeps a super DEFINITION, but with additional  depth . We feel the 300W!
Note that I've never tried it with 5 strings (not my thing), You will have to try it yourself
I I'll give it a 9, but is only for my use.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 1 / 2 years approximately.
I was looking for a very portable amp, powerful enough to play small venues, and evolutionary play in larger venues.
I have not tried many models because ... there has not until this crneau!
Markbass, has sounded ok, but I hang not at all with the look (and play all the same!).
Phil Jones has really micro-amp, I had doubts about the long-term durability.
I tried it and it got the tape.

It is not as big a mouth stack, has not much to mine, but does it well!
