UTILIZATION

The rglages are super simple, ergonomics is right up there with a little tampering we get any sound imaginable (or so ..) that the electric guitar has had since its creation!
the manual is frankly not ncssaire or to familliariser with the possibilities of any beginners to bte, but drop it quickly ...
the power squeezer is handy for big sound at low volume
It's great Intgr the tuner (2 possibilities, note or chromatic note) no need to remove the jack to match ..
one can just regret that the footswitch is either not provided ..

SOUNDS

I like just about every style of music, blues, rock, jazz, reggae, funk etc. .. no problem finding the right sound quickly.
I possde strat us a 40th and a gretsch 5120 and honestly I fell on my ass about the potential of this small bazard! gretsch sound with jazz on the position jc clean or even lead to "black panel "or" tweed "trs with little gain and too much of an attack is superb, clear and prcis same for the saturation of the micro needle the quality of sound is impressive!
modlisation the extras are really the brit combo found that sound pretty good characteristic of vox ac 30, mdium and powerful in the grain as if it rained!
simulation of the bassman (tweed) is excelente, with the stratum and a little gain, the bottom knob 3, the crunch is down for a good blues sound to the grain!
the simulation Marschall (stack classic) out good saturation dcoiffe
mtal position is in the same register but beefier
Then this is the position "R proud" of the simulation mesa boogie and careful!
the very big sound, true to the original (all proportion garde ...) saturation prcise fine and a little distant so characteristic of the mesa is enormous, when you get to this position, difficult to leave. ..
the last position "Dyna Amp" allows you to vary the sound of course, the saturation is gradually emerging as the attack and the dynamics of your game with just be my taste, an output level lower than the other position.
the effects are of very good quality EX: intermediate position on the gretsch pickups, position "tweed" on the amp with a bit of delay and you get the sound rockab par excellence!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it nonstop for a week of OCAS bought (but nine ..) 100 on ebay, I think it can not beat the same satisfaction as about 200 nine report quality price Breathtaking! (Chinese-made forces ...)
I tried the Vox Valvetronic 30 watt although some function, I have not found a better, except qu'videment the mouth of the vox is when even something else but good. ...
hard to say now what I prfre on this amp is still a bit chilly .. I encourage all beginners guitar or not (I play for about fifteen years) looking for a very good quality amp with a very mini size (much smaller than the vox power scabies .. ) to rush this little marvel! it is obvious that the configuration of this amp permetra to treat in home studio or playing in small club, the 30 watts are the concert but for a larger scale will require predict a bit bigger ..
I personally think that roland did much left to prove in terms of performance and technology will do well to focus now on the CRITERIA equally important design, without being obnoxious because this amp does not compete with some of the race condition ....
I put a note up taking into account the performance dlivrs by this amp and of course its price ..
