Best value: Excellent
- What kind of amplification (lamp, transistor ,...)?
Transistor Combo

- What is the power delivered?
3w power that sound good

- What connection?
Guitar input jack of all that is mundane

- What are the settings, the effects? ...
One volume knob and one tone of increasing the well-crunch. There is also a button that activates the overdrive and another to activate the tuner (which is also specific enough on my model)

UTILIZATION

- The configuration is it simple?
Difficult to do more complicated with the possibility that the combo offers

- Gets it easy to sound good?
Yes enough overall. The overdrive imprecise for my taste but the clean is very nice. The crunch has a sound not bad at all, overall it's still enough vintage, love
EDIT after 3 weeks of daily use on vacation, I realize that you should always just tweak the knobs of the amp and guitar so the sound does not crack too. It's never much good but it's not completely plug n 'play anything ^ ^
It is true that the overdrive is not terrible. With headphones it goes but get tired very quickly for my taste. But there is still quite usable, I think it would be better with a pedal or two, to test ...

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
A manual? or that?

SOUNDS

- Will it fit your style of music?
Sounds like "vintage" so I have used. For an amp of this size I'm really surprised. I have long played on a Roland Micro Cube but I never managed to find something I like it. I win with the Orange up and over it a sound that I like, what more?

- With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play?
I first tested in the store with a Telecaster (yes I tested this amp before buying it ...) and I play at home with an Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus. Sometimes I add my big muff or my volume pedal.

- What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
With the tone at 0 and without the overdrive gives her a fairly clean (not totally, it already a little crunch). By pushing the dial tone is a bit of crunch and more. By activating the overdrive tone with less influence (one feels the difference but this is less convincing with the overdrive off)

- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
For me it is without the overdrive with tone and volume at 9 o'clock, it suits me perfectly

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
Yesterday after noon (I hope it will continue to please me over time ...)

- What is so special that you like most and least?
I love the look, very vintage and very flashy typed (yes we like it or not I like it). I also like the different sounds an amp of this size can offer. I fear it is for against a little too "toy" and it does not take time. But it will be seen
EDIT: I went on vacation with no worries, he has taken the trip and always sounds the same. It is against by not very plug n 'play, he still has a small adjustment to make before playing, but nothing too serious it can be done very quickly

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Only the Mini Marshall double body. I found it too children's toy, while plastic, which vibrates with the sound a little pushed too hard.

- How would you rate the quality / price?
Well when we see that for fifty euros was a Marshall plastoc and € 6 for more on Orange has an all wood and metal, right now the price / quality ratio is good. € 56 after the mini amp it sounds a bit expensive but we must recognize that it's very convenient.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Yes without hesitation (although for the moment I do not have much experience with ptite boiboite orange)
EDIT: one month later I'm still convinced!
RE EDIT: I've been 5 months now he still works as well! I even used once again, and I managed to play and be heard despite the battery. Like what are this small in the belly! I also noticed that the sound is a little better with microphones are simple (the other gratteu my group played on a squier stratocaster and it sounds pretty good, but with my Tokai increase in P90, that's all simply awesome, much better than the humbuckers in my Epiphone)
