Amp transistor amp simulation and effects, 75 W. Admission: MP3/CD, XLR mic, jack, Aux (second guitar or bass, keyboard ...). RCA (rear) and headphone front. 3 simultaneous among 3 banks (phaser, chorus, tremolo ...)/ (delays and echoes) / (reverb). Choice of amp simulations famous (12 opportunities in the clean Insane). This amp is designed as a training tool for improvisation includes a looper recorder (24 minutes). Tuner.
UTILIZATION
The amp gradually tamed, we discover new opportunities even a year later. The choice of amp sounds and settings from the knobs is simple, we must dare to experiment and rework including presets designed by artists (and do not always sound great depending on the guitar that was) , create its own sounds depending on the purpose (jazz, blues, rock, hard, crunch ...). Manual a bit basic but the online site to communicate in English with users and consultants worldwide. We obtain immediately the answers to questions. The sound: the "suck" to the excellent. The presets are generally disappointing. But when we learn to shape his own sound even reworking the sounds are obtained satisfactory work improvisations jam (the hundred included in the machine or cd) with joy, I got sounds "jazz, rock, hard , blues guitar 3 pickups with a single. Confused Insane in the agreements but I think we need a humbucker guitar to withstand high loadings. The looper is not easy to use, it takes multiple trials to be really sync and not have "blanks" between measurements. A nice tool, however, to record ideas.
SOUNDS
- Clean sounds, jazz, blues, crunch, metal and insane to configure itself for something nice and clean (probably depends a lot on his guitar, now I have a Godin Triumph mahogany), overall I am managed over time to be credible simulations to improvise on jazz cds, blues, pop or rock. Large loadings surely require a guitar humbuckers. It is often necessary to put a lot of effects including reverb to get a flattering result. So good amp to work different styles of music and fun soon.
- Works very well with the CDS, the guitars (including electro-acoustic and silent guitar nylon or steel), but not sound good with a keyboard arranger contrary to what was announced, not amplify the electronic drums (type Handsonic).
- I also used to amplify a melodica and flute with a microphone connected to the input CDS/MP3: you can choose effects and settings for auxiliary and assayed as you want power sources: very good place to jam alone or in groups.
OVERALL OPINION
I own the amp for over a year and a half, I've never tried other amps before then being a beginner. I was looking for a versatile amp, with the "jam" to work with improvisation ranges. The "+": its versatility, the variety of types of sounds, looper integrated settings sources. The jam tracks are loops or drum music performed by real musicians, it's a training ground friendly and varied (blues, rock, country, hardcore, metal), all is not easy to follow when it starts but it opens up music that you do not think spontaneously! The "-" sometimes sounds artificial and synthetic, should be warmed often sounds factory ... Moreover I invest in a tube pedal to compensate for that. In "less" so that the jam tracks are frozen pitch (a pitch adjustment was essential). The looper a little difficult to use for even a novice with the FBV Express. Value for money altogether satisfactory, for a little less than 450 euros is a powerful and versatile amp transistor. A good product for beginners to the world of electric guitar or improve his improvisations when avancé.Un more days I'll have a tube amp but I'm not sure I get rid of it. They live together!
