Published on 09/02/14 at 07:22Well described by the opinion below (except that it is a dual channel, but that's a detail).
By removing, we can see that the reverb is a small unit really springs, super poor: the entourage is really made of cardboard, and is based on a double-sided foam tape to peel over time. But that's the only fault finishing everything else is perfect, the machine is very robust, mine has lived a lot and it works very well.
25W power on paper, in practice sends really strong, especially since the volume knob is not linear and logarithmic so from 3 you pretty much max. Apartment at 0.5 / 1 is quite sufficient and very tolerable for the neighbors.
It is compact, light enough, the power / weight ratio is excellent.
UTILIZATION
Like any amp that violates need to book. A small flat for the equalizer that works only on the overdrive channel. To solve this problem and that the volume knob noted above it is quite simple: just play all the time on the saturated with a low gain for it remains clear channel.
SOUNDS
Clean sounds perfect for an amp of this size and this price, simply. His guitar perfectly respected, HP 10 "restoring fairly serious. HP is the weak point of this amp is a Fender base which will advantageously replaced by a Jensen or Celestion.
Distorted sounds? No but you kidding? It's a fender transistor remember? It is not for lead and especially not for distos slobbering like stoner / doom! After course it can always troubleshoot acid fuzz ...
I play it with my usual Fender offset (Jaguar, Cyclone, Marauder).
OVERALL OPINION
I've had a few weeks. I bought a Fender transistor because I was tired of the buzz / hums on my Champion 600 related to the lack of electrical installation filtered home. I amps of all sizes and of all kinds for ages. I love this one: it's beautiful, it sounds good, it is portable and quite well done. I even think I'll buy a second one because I play in stereo.
The almost mandatory upgrades are a logarithmic volume knob and an HP worthy of the name not too expensive. And for less than 120 € you get an amp that sounds, growing, and has a very successful appearance blackface.
