Best value:
Excellent
It is a small transistor amp models and 7-watt, which I originally booked only for portable use, especially during the holidays. But given the possibilities of the machine, I think I'll use it daily. The connection is satisfactory headphone jack and input for MP3 player, a USB port to configure the voicings using the Fuse software that downloads and installs easily (and free) on a computer, a footswitch jack, but only one channel .
Delivered today, once unwrapped, immediately tried: very nice finish, not "fake" at all, good overall impression, it looks tough, beautiful linings, carrying handle solid, classic design of knobs .. . you feel immediately at ease, neither disappointed nor lost: it's a real Fender, but in miniature!
UTILIZATION
And the first tests are great. I will not dwell on all the possible configurations: I did not really tested and I think they are anyway the same as those present on the rest of the range. The settings are simple, but it must be precise and delicate with the knobs because there are no notches to follow. The manual is clear but very brief (one page!).
Question power (7 watts), it has what it takes to practice quietly at home without heat lamps and annoy the neighbors. I did not have to push it back, it was a good margin.
Decision input (for mp3 player) and headphone will also go a lot of services. No loop on the other hand to insert any pedals. It is true that there are already so many onboard effects ...
SOUNDS
I especially want to say I am impressed with the sound quality of this little thing: the clean sound with my Strato really going very well. It was a very important before buying, and I was worried by the speaker size (6.5-inch) because I had no way to be informed. I am reassured!
OVERALL OPINION
I only tried it on mains power at the moment, so I can not say anything of use on battery including the battery life. I appreciate the comfortable length of the wire of the AC adapter and USB cord (to use the software Fuse), we can put this little amp at the right height for easy access to settings. Among the small negatives is the lack of protection of corners (but I did not have that on my tube combo) and cover (it's unfortunate).
In conclusion, I am satisfied with this mini Mustang: it represents a good balance of quality/price, and it will be an ideal companion on holiday, powerful and compact!
