«  Good amp travel / learning! »

Published on 12/06/12 at 16:05
Best value: Excellent
See reviews comrades, more comprehensive at this level.
Basically it is equipped in line with the use that is supposed to do: learning the instrument and explore the operation of an amp.
Black spot about the size of hp: 5 "is really little, even when traveling.

UTILIZATION

Very accessible, we choose the amp, effects, turn the tone and gain, and that's it! For what is good sound ... This amp still has a bowl 5 "and is a portable travel / practice, so it is clearly not nirvana, but hey, the simulation can be randomly generated convincing front for modern metal (the gain is more than enough for big Death very hairy ...), the JC-120 nice for jazz, acoustic for arpeggios, to the classic heavy.

SOUNDS

It works for all, without excel anywhere of course. Perfect for learning, but be careful you will not be happy if we want a real nice sound! The distos are accurate, although somewhat garish fast (huge headroom to pass, especially on the simulation of Recto). Cleans quite dull, no crystal here, riding the highs tend to be sharp instead of open.
ODs are disgusting in my opinion, anyway I never use this stuff. Generally I use the JC-120 for my plans jazz, acoustic for arpeggios, classic simulation (JCM 800?) For the heavy 70-80 s, and R-Fier (Mesa Rectifier) ​​for more aggressive stuff.
Short enough to work.
(Played with a Cort Aero 11 mounted in EMG 81X and 60X-scratching mahogany and maple neck-table)

OVERALL OPINION

I use 1 hour per week of scratching my school for 1 year and a half. I usually play on a Peavey Vypyr 15W, already had in his hands a Peavey XXX, Vox VT40, a Vox Lil'Nighttrain a Tiny Terror, a Blackheart elements in comparison. I do not like the size of HP (which are baaaaaaasseeuuh?), The OD, however the simulation of JC's nice. Quality / price ratio excellent, again to use it as it is intended.
PS: it looks indestructible.
