UTILIZATION

Very easy to use, no need to refer to the instructions (especially qd was préablablement UPCE and watched video on youtube pub ...
The key is there. I've even seen some forums and complained about not having a line out when you can just connect the headphone jack on the sound (of course the hp are cut). Others have tinkered inside to add a footswitch to change presets to ... But hey this is a toy for qd even to amplify the guitar at home at your fingertips. But must recognize it is tempting to use on stage so the sounds are good and suddenly you understand why there is that the "upgrade" ...
The preset have proven effectiveness and I think everyone will find the adjustment that goes. Seems that they mostly use the mode "condense" or personal fashion I prefer "nylon" but the others are equally interesting.

SOUNDS

Exactly what I was looking for. I already have a Roland AC60 Acoustic works very well but it is a beast that weighs are weight and I do not go for the concerts. I also had a Roland Cube Street (also stereo), but to compare it's a crap ... Ok it has a second microphone input ... Here I am ravi.C is light, full of features that work, reverbs Beautiful, beautiful chorus finally all is well. Even with its small speakers sound ridiculous is perfect. It is true that a microphone would have been nice but do not forget that this is a mini amp for home or small committees at the edges of the camp fire. The metal housing is seen with its contours and unusual retro. Against by the glow lamp lighting guy I find it kitsch, and nase but ... It allows you to see where it is when it's night time ... As we have heard and lost the cord that connects the guitar ...
Short to finish this is a great little machine that can also tinker with your PC via USB and Cubase is foruni.
The other point is that fun comes with its cabling (3.5mm stereo jack, USB cable, power) damage qu'l there is no protective cover as it is super portable that would make sense. (But a camera bag will do the trick

OVERALL OPINION

Very satisfied with this purchase. For once a mini amp with nice amenities sounds quite realistic. Lightweight, easily transportable, friendly and successful design, solid buttons accessible preset much everything is finally seen. Lack as I noted above, a mic input but hopefully it will come in a future model. In addition to running on battery or AC power. If a model of this type 30W I go over the purchase and get rid of boxes of transistors in my way.
