UTILIZATION

- Simple to use, it is enough to refine rglages a cool sound depending on the mood of the moment, without being either too and take the head.
- The resulting sound is trs good, especially when Whereas the power of 2 Watts announced and size of the speaker 5 inches. Obviously, you do not play in the same court a big amp and 50W lamps 20Kg, but the use is not the same.
- The power of a surprise to beginners. In an apartment, you can quickly get to know his neighbors if pushed too hard!
- Perfect for a small thing, but do not expect a concert amp Obviously.

SOUNDS

- From the clear sound distortion through the crunch more or less granular, you can touch all styles. Really nice.
- I tried with my Fender Start, it's really good trs. You can have trs punchy attacks, or play softly, the receiver Ragit transcribed the game well and Fidler.
- Least of all to the bottom (gain + volume + volume + guitar sound R-Fier), the speaker does not saturate.
- The headphone costs at is good, but watch out for ears. We can quickly twist the ears if you are not careful. I think to enjoy it, I'll play with my headphone plugs to protect, to put the fawn's strong enough to enjoy the crunch, while the oue being protected me, and everything without Dranger anyone at home, any time of day or night.
- I'm not a fan trs effects chorus, flanger, phaser and tremolo that I find it a bit excessive Acute Tone, and tend to become almost inaudible Tone serious. But I do not like the effects of a fawn gnrale, not just on the Micro Cube, so my opinion is not objective trs.
- The delay is not gnial either, trs not audible enough to be Submitted really got my use.
- The reverb on the other hand is not bad, except that it Noit sound if you push it too much. It feels to play away from the amp pass a certain level. I can not find usable only up to halfway. But this level is correct trs without being overwhelming.

OVERALL OPINION

- I did that for several hours at the time o j'cris this, so I'll have to back that opinion in a few days time.

Most:
- Portable (you can put a bandoulire), lightweight, autonomous, powerful despite its small size, without being deafening
- Wide range sound for all styles,
- I love the crunchy sound that can be obtained,
- Printing of robustness,
- The unit is Designed, although we did not mount the feel of a toy with buttons that delicate flicker (I bought the Micro Crush CR3 Orange at the same time as the l and not to mention the sound, the finish of the Micro Crush is more cheap, the buttons move, the shell does not look solid ... trs)
- Ideal for the right take left on vacation, picnic, a walk in the box (why not?), With some friends for a barbecue night, car ...

The -:
- The various simulations do not replace all of the same their equivalents,
- The effects (chorus and company) sound a little wrong,
- The acoustic effect is not gnial,
- My acoustic guitar does not sound terrible on it (and it is fast approaching in the feedback of the amplifier, which can be a greater contrast), but the amp is not Designed to a .

In résumé is a small bomb if we take this amp for what it is: a tool for rptition not too noisy at home, with which it has not hurt his back in the FBP and can take anywhere. All for a reasonable price a hundred euros.
