«  Pure transistor »

Published on 04/17/11 at 09:03
Combo compact orange (unlike the picture where he is black which matches the last years of marketing)
100% transistors. 100 watts. 2 channels (clean / drive). Conventional settings (treble / mid / low) + drive on channel 2.
Reverb.
HP 12 "
External speaker output that cuts the main HP (with damage)

UTILIZATION

Very simple config
No need for manual

SOUNDS

It's pure juice of the transistor.
The sound is very dynamic and very clean if not very neutral.
His "odorless, colorless, tasteless"
The sound of the drive channel is very "lame" in the inoperative state.
It is very compact and very powerful is its appeal. In rehearsal, I was next to the drummer to 40% if I did not cover it! Live Events (clubs or small theaters) was 60% greater max. So a lot of reserve!
Given the bland side of the vehicle it is essential to work with a rack of pedals (which I did) or a multi-quality effects.

OVERALL OPINION

I used 6 years without a hitch. It's tough.
But it's more a mind amplifier "Baloche" than anything else.
No personality. Necessary to animate with maximum impact. Big advantage of being very compact and very powerful.
The fact that the HP main branch is cut when an extra HP is just stupid!
At the time, I had the power (we had no sound) at affordable prices. He made the "taf.
From memory, I bought it new in 3000 francs, less than 500 euros. Sold since!
If he Trailed, in my opinion, it is in perfect condition, this applies to the general maximum of 200 euros. And yet, it is paid 150 euros would be more honest!
