«  nice and quiet for the neighbors »

Published on 12/30/11 at 07:38
tube preamp, power amp transistor.
30watts that sound, but a gear on the back (knob) which reduces the racket, as if we had a 10Watt, you can put in background without disturbing the neighbors. Well, there is also a headphone jack for the silence and smashes the eardrums.
just connect: an input jack, a line-out jack, a footswitch jack.
settings and effects from left to right:
- Selectors amp models (Marshall imitation etc.).
- Gain
- Volume
- Treble / middle / low
- Effects selector (one at a time of self whah to reverb through the tremolo, phaser etc.). Good troubleshooting, not at a super effective and adjustable pro, but does not sound practical and too bad.
- Master volume.
In addition, or rather in front of these knobs, are various buttons that switch A / B (clear / distortion) and manual or preset amp.
A little tricky to handle, we can meet if we do not blunder, with his death that kills you not looking at all, such as super distophaser you want to play forbidden games.

UTILIZATION

The setup is so simple that "we branch, we play." Is the price of the possibilities of this contraption, rather complicated after all.
The manual is on the internet, I have not really had a look, I plug in, I change the channel when it goes wrong, and I play mostly flat year so I watch out the power reduction.
This gives a good sound easy, but if we look for the little beast and / or super sound quality, it is better to buy effects, a multi-effects or out on a computer with sound processing.
That said, I prefer this amp overruns to those of the Line6 Toneport, so I take the line out, I plug the Toneport to register these sounds there.

SOUNDS

Suits my style of music: DIY house, so things are going well.
Which types of sound: a little all that comes to hand, it will also, it is very versatile, it is ideal to look for her and losing her to spend the afternoon setting effect, instead of actually playing.
I play it with all my guitars or almost: strato, Godin, classic (with a Micro Piezo € 30), and 12-string folk piezo. When I said you can waste time on it ...
I like the saturation, not too clean sounds (benefit Toneport and headphone).

OVERALL OPINION

I have over 4 / 5 years I have tried one or two others, and it's versatility and the price for the opportunity I was seduced. After he does not move, followed two different paths and car moves without flinching and reliable running.
What I love most: the versatility and value.
The least: I would like to have a bin or even Orange amp Mark Knopler, but it's not the same price, and would perhaps learn to play rather than tinkering!
Value: + + +
With experience, I would invest perhaps in a more "all lamps" for the clean and smooth distortion Supreme, but otherwise I think it has not too many competitors, the Fender are more recent but a little expensive, but Line6's a good reference, a Toneport or Pod sound good on it as well.
Otherwise, I would buy the same at the same price ...
