UTILIZATION

Yes it is relatively simple if you know what you want, a lot must change the settings and leave then listen for the sound palette is very broad and there are more opportunities you get lost;

SOUND QUALITY

Before I used a music man with a Roland 100 w 60 w lamp coupled to a rack of effects pedals ibanez with a + cs2 boss had a pure tone with sustain very specific, in concert with the echo was provided a roland re 101 (mythical) on the console, I used the chorus for augmanter the stereo effect on all the amps I sold 25 years ago, except the guitar, a Start.

I had found what his Jamis except with the pod I arrived with a very slight difference: when you push, the simulations are less effective perfomances that the original models, is very similar with average settings, so it's a question of dosage but once set it is more than good.

If you want a change of style is no problem the amp simulations are extras (very nice sound man tweed b: hot and snapping, for the presence of Hiwat). Polyval very good.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a week and I won I went back to play Goud, stratum behaves very well the output levels is great and comes without romflète which is very useful (that is to try an old Start on an old marshall lamps).
The funny side is that it has a lot of effect that I used: compressor cs2, big muff, mxr phaser etc. and it is not very far from the original for the best and the worst (the big muff c It was still a crap and missed being friends with a dealer batteries) so it is nostalgic for. The wahwah are extra. Simulations leslie great. + Other effects as correct, the reverb does not hurt the ears.

The disto moueh must resolve it hard for subectif I'm not sure, but for blues rock sound so great.

the effects are good but should not push them too like the original so if you love the fine tuning is the same for the top overdrive the amp does not sound like the originals. (that are more logically armony Restraint)
The simulations then yes but it does have the sound of a Fender tweed channel on a stereo is not reversible nor I believe that there is no device that can do it, it says the advantage is the sound is ok + that even at low levels and it's close.

The points + +: the sound of the instrument is respected and enhanced; réglages.Niveaux finesse of output, compatibility of connections;
it's less painful to the ears than the original good listening comfort even over headphones. Computer and web connection
There is an equalizer (updated online) very useful to deal with a guitar sound mean, I tried with a guitar acousitique with a neck pickup
Its sounds can be saved.
The range of possibility is very broad.

the - and the display control set too small and does not allow easy access to all settings ok, but I wear glasses.
it heats
I would definitely do it again this election, especially since I found my original.

A council tried it with your intrument, it does not react the same at all depending on the guitar used on a Start that sounds great.
