15 watt amp (but more powerful than on paper) and lamp hybrid transistor preamp.

A guitar input, a headphone / line out (phantom power for making live on pc) and taken to a footswith.

11 amp simulation
11 effects diffrérents
A tap tempo for all effects
A button to select two sounds that have registered, a button to switch to manual control. (Which makes three CHANNELS ... oh yes!)

Settings: medium bass treble gain and master volume

UTILIZATION

The setup is simple enough for both effects for amp simulation.

The manual is rather short with the amp, it can be downloaded from the site but there is vox in German or English and that's a shame!

What's great about this amp is the line out. With that you can directly connect the amplifier to a PC and sound card to get good sound.! What is very Surprisingly is that the sound of the amp sound much the same way as registration. In comparison, line6 spider II or III sounds very very wrong, synthetic hyper! connect as a ZOOM 505 live ca sound so bad!

Another quality, the tape tempo.

on the other hand, very very bad thing, it can only record three preset sounds, so we can not really use the amp in all its possibilities.

So I will just 7 for these two issues really annoying.

SOUNDS

For my style of music should be. I play death-industrial really good (to give you an idea of ​​the style www.myspace.com / grorr). But I am tempted to say that it fits a lot of styles!

For clean sounds you can get something really crystal-clear, very clean, and sounds much more round. This amp generates a lot of bass, which often lack small amps. The main quality of this amp is the clean sound ...

For the crunch is not bad too, the gain in the softer further.

For distortion, there is quite special. The sound is quite bold in general, a true vintage sound. What you lose in accuracy is gained in power. The level of gain is not abused, but when played properly can it ring. The simulation is quite special. I am using the nu-metal, the UK is downright dirty, and the US Hi-Gain sounds like metal dug very 80's. This is not a modern hi-gain dutout.

Also, interesting point, one can use the preamp thing to record bass. With a slight overdrive, if the bass is good ca can sound great.

The effects are pretty dutout. It is also a strong point of this amp. They are not very configurable, but it's not too serious. A little more for the auto wah is particularly amusing.

BUT, do not buy this amp without me trying! It is very special ... Personal I started really appreciate it and I ended up not love dutout ... I occasionally used for recording on pc, and in this price range for mini-combo is perhaps the best. The light really makes the difference. But do not expect anything great either. It generates a lot of bass, so that the sound is never perfectly audible.
After, I used it several times in rehearsal. The distos are so grimey and AC feedback so much that I ended up not only use OD with little gain.
Finally, to work only on a small amp, I much prefer the Line6 spider. The sound is certainly artificial, but it is sharp and clear (but recording is very bad)

OVERALL OPINION

I use this amp for a year and I'm not too disappointed. I use it with an Ibanez RG 7620

What is good with this amp is rendered in direct (contact me if you want examples) really better quality compared to other amp like that. That argument made me decide to buy this amp. Against it generates for abused and bass distortion is not great.

Before long I tried to buy a line6 spider II 15 watt and 30 watt and a Roland cube that are not worth comparing to the price range and power.

The value for money is really not bad, because this amp allows for good sound for a demo, or repeat (with a relatively low volume).

So the fact that it is better than the competition I would put 6.
