«  very very disappointed with this model!! »

Published on 04/11/14 at 11:45
a double system clean / od channels (1) od / distortion (2)

clean / od
od / distortion

bass / mid / treble

2 concentric knobs and level gain for channels 1 & 2

Yes a lamp 12AX7

in / out and emulated output

UTILIZATION

yes enough, the panel is clean enough off to the large distortion

For metal grain is not too suitable, the mxr Fullbore is more characteristic of this type of sound dug

This is a non-limited version of the series blackfire Gus G limited, it seemed that crunch, the blackfire had a little more personality and tone, beyond that, it is identical

you turn the knobs and that makes

SOUND QUALITY

the clean and crunch are not bad at all

Isf is a corrector nickname tone that never convinced me, it is not enough light or dark, it would change the grain it also even between uk / us!

I'm more skeptical about the bcp large distortion, which is when the gain augemente was a bit of a fuzz side and nothing really happens

Guitar only

OVERALL OPINION

2 months ago, initially it seemed not bad after I have a little disillusioned

The ambitious side od the metal seemed attractive

THE grain is fairly mid (like all products ht) not too defined, but not at all in swig restitution, which remains for me the same marketing scam that celèbres ToneLab vox,
some say it is even connected to anything!!

Large distos are those my least favorite
THE crunch is not bad, but frankly all take zvex band of rock and jam for genuine musicality and personality

R / p / q: say frankly that the massive food box 22v (300v voltage) and lamp suggests big arsenal, he did nothing of it must be noted that it remains pure and simple marketing and for 200 € this is not the model that will make me change my mind about the blackstar ht, but I (wanted to judge, but nothing has changed, on the contrary
THE good news is that the less than € 160 but it does not change the view!

no I do not do it again this choice is on again and I'm pretty amazed that most reviews are glowing except for a completely negative, and especially opinions .... so complacent, but no qualitative analysis ultimately ...

For the high gain must go ds heavy serious Effectrode eg.
