I do this little more Submitted pramp ...

Three things I grieve a little:
- The absence of simu HP (some would say that the paufinant rglages it is doing the recording ... I've never found a better sound than using a simu HP)
- 2-band eq's not good enough I got
- The absence of switch On / Off (corrected on the 1.1)

UTILIZATION

The configuration is very simple if we use the (excellent) factory presets

If one looks for his son ... L can spend hours ... But we rarely!

The rglages are slightly Drout (SETTING THE gain per band frequency drives: buzz, crunch and punch) in the qualizer + ... But once you feel the action of many DIFFERENT rglages on sound, no problem! ;)

SOUNDS

I play a great majority of metal, from rock nerv well what is becoming nag!
I m'escapade from time to time on the rock type at large Led Zepp, Pink Floyd, Red Hot etc.

I play with a small Ibanez Rg321 with a Seymour Duncan SH-6, a power amp homemade base transistor (2x70W) speakers and two 1x12 "V30 om the farm.

(I tried several other guitars, PRS Santana SE, LTD Mh400NT etc.).

THE FIRST silent approach flattering but a little of what j'esprais dea ... I read everywhere that silent trs metal or even too much for some, and what n'tait not my printer! It sounded too got my medium. So I'm buying a Boss GE-7 with which I have corrected the bump medium of my hardware (in large part of my V30 I think)

And l. .. This is the drama ...

THE ultimate slap! C'tait the only thing missing this pramp!
Before, c'tait well with the EQ is excellent! You can have a relatively dry and the edge like a big fat heavy sound and you palm mute with the dboutonner caleon ...
What I like most is his ct natural incomparable face of the tribe POD ... Same recording, I prfre my current sound (compare my old POD 2, albeit aging). I think it lends itself pramp both use a studio, that a good use RPET or live. That's cel Whereas I do not really like a device modlisation, but more like a hand pramp Entire.
I am not convinced that simulates well the Mesa, Marshall and others but what it sounds! It has a clean personality while having a range of extremely large!
The cleans are beautiful, crystalline, slamming wish. And all that is out of saturation Relva standards: p (j'exagre sentence)
Without EQ: 8 / 10
With EQ: 12/10
Rating: 10/10:-D

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 4 months

What I like most is the distortion, although it is perfect RULES!
I believe that with a transistor power amp is the best way to get big sound at home down the volume. I have not tried it with a power amp lamps, so I can not tell if he is doing as well. That, to me, the cream of all transistor, dominated only by the right amp lamps.

I tried everything that is done in the modlisation (or so), I possdais a POD 2.0 before ... See NOTHING! : P

I pay 350 used, it can be found by searching prs 300-well, I would do without hsiter this choice!

I hte to add to it a multi (or Rocktron TC) to complete my set!
