Value For Money : Excellent
We are dealing here with an amplifier transistor, we spit a good "small" 20 watts.

It has an input jack, a footswitch input, a mini-jack input and an output record.

There are obviously two channels (as we are used to Roland): a Clean and Lead.

Each of these two channels have a separate volume knob (which I dare not to exceed half afraid to see the floor of my room from under my feet ^ ^) has the lead in a knob of + gain, and of course everything can be controlled by the trio bass-middle-treble.

Level effects, Roland has yet spoiled! This amp has 2 knobs for any effects of the amp, and 6 positions in the Lead channel.

The first knob may issue a general chorus, flanger, phaser, or tremolo.
The 2nd we propose the famous duo delay and reverb.

As for the six leadership positions, I find them to die
-> Acoustic (directly derived from the AC-3 BOSS), Overdrive, Distortion, Metal, Metal Stack, and Tube Drive. + All surprising each other!

Roland has done a surprise by including this one Powersqueezer small bomb, which reduces the volume but retains all the power of the attack game, and proves very useful when you play at 2am 'and can not not want to wake the whole house

Finally, the last little gift from Roland: an integrated tuner, easy.

UTILIZATION

The configuration could not be simpler, really need not have been the ENA to easily find the sound you want

Manuel? Euuh not needed ^ ^

SOUNDS

I play mostly on the lead channel, in a Metal, and it is excellent
As for Deep Purple, AC / DC, Led Zeppelin or ---> nikel ^ ^

I play a Telecaster Custom 72 '+ and a BOSS DS-1 and a Korg AX-10G, and all that goes really well together.

Personally, I like also the Tube Drive position, treble middle and bottom, at 0 bass: explosive for the blues (with a touch of reverb).

OVERALL OPINION

I use this amp for some months now, and I bought it for more freedom of movement with my guitar (vi bah, who already have a Fender Twin Reverb, it will not move alone ^ ^)

I really love the whole range of sounds can be achieved with this bomb, it is surprising coming from such a small device

The price / quality ratio is excellent (it is € 150 in store, I bought it used € 95).

If you still hesitate, go ahead, this amp is for you!
