Value For Money : Excellent
- What type of amplification (lamp, transistor ,...)?
It's a transistor amp
- What is the power delivered?
2 x 75 watts. So I never understood why it was sold as a 150 watt, so it delivers 75 watts (stereo certe but good)
- What connection?
Big black spot, it is almost nonexistent. Just enough to connect the cab (2 output jacks so), a pedal board ftv style of line 6, an output jack for recording on PC for example (like a pod) and it tout.pas loop effects.
- What are the settings, effects ...?
Basic settings, with serious treble and middle.
We can also adjust the drive.
The effects are just average (delay, chorus and reverb), plus you can not make subtle adjustments, since it does not have encryption or cursor to it, and the race of the knobs is pretty short.
Cons side by distortion is a real killer!

UTILIZATION

- The configuration is simple?
Even very simple. Was included in 5 minutes.
- Do you get easily a good sound?
It depends on the register. The distos, it's madness. Frankly, it rocks seriously. on the other hand still need a little push to reveal the power of the speakers.
If low volume is fine too.
- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
Yes, enough for everything is very simple.

SOUNDS

- Will it fit your style of music?
Yes quite, but the only problem is that I can not push the amp, so I get sound fine, but nothing to do with the amp at least 25 percent.
Clearly, to have really great sound, push to 1 / 4 power, otherwise you'll just have a very good sound, which is not bad.
- With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play?
A fender stratocaster american standard, and a Gibson Les Paul Studio.
- What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "fat ",....)?
Frankly we get all the sounds you want. But this amp is clearly oriented metal and rock, not by the number of possible sounds (there you can really go from jazz to heavy metal though), but also the quality that is not equal for all styles.
- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
My favorites are all distos really is amazing for the price and the technology used.
For the rest, I hate it, but it clearly lacks warmth and slamming.

OVERALL OPINION

- For how long have you been using it?
It is now 2 years
- What thing do you like most/least about it?
You plug it sounds live, and with the volume pot to drive, we all rock and metal styles in 2 seconds, and it sounds!
- Did you try many other models before getting this one?
Not bad amps of all kinds, but frankly, this is the best value for money. I can not say it at exactly the sound of the originals, because I've never tried, but it was a terrible sound, and 10 times cheaper.
But we must not forget that this amp is for metalheads and rockers. The jazz, forget it.
- What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Unbeatable.
- Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
Without hesitation.
