«  A jewelry for beginners! »

Published on 04/16/14 at 11:08
Value For Money : Excellent
Audience: Beginners
For specifications is rather short:
- Lil monster 15W modeling
- Bowl 8 "Custom Voice
- Built-in effects (chorus, digital reverb, delay ...)
- Aux 3.5mm
- Record output / headphones 3.5mm
- ...

At the manufacturing quality is unable box 13 ply birch but it is relatively strong, the evidence he has already fallen by about 50cm high and not a glitch

UTILIZATION

Must say: when you start with a gas plant like this is difficult to find a sound from the beginning. Must hack, traffic and it is not easy when you're still a beginner!

But use still quite soft (it's not a mark V either!)

4 channels, 3 banks of 4 presets each: a real treat for those who have spent hours finding the THE and wants not lose!

In conclusion a rather complex use but nothing to get excited over

SOUNDS

VLA my favorite part happens: the sound palette

I see some reviews on this amp or people say distos are good for teens who just want a rough distortion but for the price not expect a round and warm 100% we transistors!

The cleans are really REALLY usable but if you know where to look for them!

The effects are pretty good again not expect was the Boss effects or Mad Professor! Yen for all tastes (some do not serve a great thing I was so precise yen)

And here is his forte: distos
They range from lil nice crunch to overdrive a 6505 (which is here the most complete distortion of this amp)
Simulation of 6505 is simply de-cloak even with single coil
It simulates several amps brand, as Marshall (Plexi) Peavey (6505, JSX) and Vox

Is also a simulation patented lamps which gives roundness to her and a little heat. It warms a little while, especially cleans

here is the upside

Negative side yen a few that are annoying in some situations:
- The bowl 8 "returns not enough bass and it's a shame
- Record the output Out is not very convincing, the raw sound is far from what it is with HP and this is the way to qualified recording "studio quality" on record
- There is no switch, 4-Channel AC would have been handy though
- No output to speaker or effects loop
- It is open-back (it still takes once bass sound)
- Last negative it quite disturbing breath when not used

OVERALL OPINION

I've had more than a year and a half and he filled me all this time.
For a first amp is very very good I must admit.
I play with a group and it is doing really bad (15w is more than enough).

It lived up to its brand, with its distinctive grain that only a Peavey can reproduce.

This is by far the amp with the best quality / price that I know much better than a Squier or other Harley Benton the same price though.

I HIGHLY recommend it without moderation beginners go there again

I would do this choice with his eyes closed if I was amateur is really great this beast here!
After confirmed must have a very specific reason to buy this amp, it not like America of an already seasoned guitarist

Voila here is good evening and "Let's rock"!
