    Transistor "vintage" 15w, 3-band equalizer, volume gain and that is all.

    UTILIZATION

    Yes it is simple and clear, but this amp is terrible, at least mine (you never know ...) treble and high mids terrifying, even with the knobs to zero (I know, turn buttons ... ) For me this amp proved unusable out of the box. I buried in the garage for several years and recently emerged to put a Celestion Super 8 to 16 euros and there, everything has changed! Finally everything but do not exaggerate the difference is obvious: now you can equalize, use combinations volume / gain to make a sound, but the distortion is not bad transistor at all, one gets nice crunch, short nothing to see. ..

    SOUNDS

    I play this amp with a Danelectro Pro mainly clear sounds crunch but now they are affordable. This amp with no reverb, I joined a slapback delay with ...
    My HP is new, the bass is a little box at the moment, maybe it will get better after a few days of flight, the Celestion has yet pathetic performance, gives the impression that the amp has a lot more reserves, including its clear, it's amazing, I do not know how they could make dung behind ...
    It's still a good 8 inches, with its 8-inch, but now I prefer a Kustom Contender I bought two years ago ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have 6 years but I had hardly used since the ignominy of his. Starting today and this change of Hp, it will be used daily and even on stage surely ... To see
    I've been playing 30 years, I've tried others, never worse except for a few very Novanex vintage suck and ...
    + It is lightweight, has a nice look, easy to implement
    - From my point of view, without changing the amp HP is a scam, can serve as a bedside table can be ...

    If we consider the 10 minutes of time spent to change the HP and the extra HP in question is still below 100 euros, it's a good value for money ...

    I remake this choice, but I would have preferred that the amplifier is supplied with a true original HP, I am very surprised by the huge difference when I installed the dish the cheapest on the market.

    Finally, a short compact cheap amp with a soft sound, not like "Microcube" with lots of gadgets and no guts!

    Of course he does not want high-technology with 30 knobs and 50 attractions, but what we are offered is quality and very welcome.

    SOUNDS

    Trs fit for Surf, Blues, Jazz, Rockabilly, this amp will satisfy the most expresses who find in him the perfect choice: a compromise between stability of the transistor, and the ridiculous price and vintage typ!

    I possde a Warmoth guitar (custom made per order and assembled by me) Firebird (concidence?) Bne mahogany and touches with vibrato Khalis, a micro Seymour Alnico pro doubles that Crel a simple and a T-rex ... to tell you how this configuration is versatile!
    Even with the guitar sound I gnial, it is my second amp travel trs performance!

    OVERALL OPINION

    In the end it's a good little amp that trs perfectly fill the players demanding but not beginners DSIR effects and gadgets all costs!
    The report price is almost unbeatable quality then go for it!

    A transistor amplifier
    15 Watts RMS
    Baffle 8 "
    Retro design
    3 band EQ
    Independent gain control
    RCA jacks on the back

    UTILIZATION

    Using ultra simple:

    The greater the gain, the more he spits. After just set the equalizer to have its own sound.

    SOUNDS

    Well of course not expect the Mesa Boogie or the Orange. Compare what is comparable.

    The clean sounds surprisingly good, the equalizer is accurate.

    The distortion gives cows (she even impressed a lot of people ^ ^). We can have almost any type of sound without too demanding to be either.

    OVERALL OPINION

    For over 3 years I have because it's my first amp.

    It is ideal for beginners or those who engage in the occasional guitar. Its look is nice (and change the black boxes you see everywhere).

    Super lightweight so easy to take for repeated but good, with a battery, it should push its limits Callback Service but this is just 15 watts.

    Only drawback, the single channel (no switch clean / distortion), but a small pedal and it's done.

    J'm'en separates for a m'acquérir Engl Screamer (it's all the same category) but will have his job really well done ^ ^

    I had 2-3 years, a good combo.
    The peculiarity is the RCA in / out, it also serves as a parallel effects loop! With a 100% wet delay is super cool since the basic sound does not pass through the effect is very clean and comes with it.
    It comes in pretty indeed, a rare brand product to its promises and especially question its power.
    gain-level-bass-mid-treble, and no background noise when the guitar is correct.

    UTILIZATION

    Ultra simple, and the settings are all effective, it's easy to sound good.
    For the effects loop is more careful, it depends mostly stuff you want to use, but once set there is more need to touch.
    The gain is very gradual and reacts to the touch, so we …

    For the effects loop is more careful, it depends mostly stuff you want to use, but once set there is more need to touch.
    The gain is very gradual and reacts to the touch, so we can make it back and act from scratch, while learning to manage her. Once it gets there it's good for the bin immediately with plenty of watts and everything!

    SOUNDS

    Then there is the surprise, if only we can turn the volume it sounds almost like a big one. I mean, the grain of the sound, how it happens and is modulated according to the game is remarkable is enough marshall in attitude but less polished and more aggressive.
    The HP does not tailgate (I mostly played with a les paul special on firebird) even stronger, and it is very detailed without torpedo zoreilles in the treble. Not common for a 8pouces.
    Rule is clean warm and dynamic, is also very reactive. Nice bass for the size of the gadget.
    For headphones I do not know ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    It is very well built, it feels to listen and over time, zero glitch and I played fairly loud (to the blues, the amp in the bathroom for a big sound!).
    If I had as much of the bazaar I regret having sold it sure ...
    All Bébert I used is the only (with perhaps the GM108) that sounds really good. (GX110-GX210-GMX212-vintager110-lx-vampire head-BXL450 BX4500H. It's actually a package ...)
    For current product brand, beware: Bebert fantasize and lies as Scapin, and there are many failures due to a limited-production limit.
    Much tracking down a secondhand firebird is my advice.
