It is an open transistor combo of 100 Watts. Settings:
<ul>
Clean: Volume, treble, mid, bass.
Drive: volume, drive, treble, mids, bass + button "mid contour" and "drive / more drive"
</ul>
So there is the "mid contour" to change the sound, it makes a bit more rounded. This is very useful to have a distortion sound a little less dirty. There is also a spring reverb which is really excellent and very powerful. There is also a footswitch jack for use with two-button footswitch (channel + drive / more drive) that is provided, and an output "preamp out" and input "power in" for the use of an effects loop, recording, or chaining multiple amplifiers. The design is very successful, the design looks very strong ... No complaint on this point! <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt="mrgreen" />
UTILIZATION
The setup is very simple: industry, we made some adjustments to tone and go! The manual does little to nothing ... <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="wink" /> It happens quite easily find its appropriate, it is a major advantage of this amp: it offers many possibilities of settings and can do almost any style (except maybe the big big metal .. .)
SOUNDS
I use a Cort G-250 and Behringer few effects (fuzz, wah-wah, delay).
<ul>
Clean: The sound is really excellent, it is THE strong point of this amp, it is ideal for any style of music, such as blues and reggae through rock, etc.. It's pretty warm, crystalline and with a little reverb it gets really great! <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="biggrin" />
Drive: Again it's good, I play mostly rock typed '70, sometimes psychedelic, occasionally things a bit more metal, and it sounds pretty good! Basically it's a little aggressive, but with the "mid contour" is reached very correct sounds without too much push the disto ...
More Drive: Here is a little less, we arrive at a distortion rather dirty, it's been a bit messy, especially if you push a little distortion (this is fairly typical of the series Frontman) but we will not s 'complain about it ... For a transistor amp it's still okay, especially considering the price!
</ul>
Personally, it suits me perfectly for what I play ... it is very easy to use and yet I get my sound to work well in some states! I put 8 / 10 for the distortion a bit messy, but it's still okay, especially if there is a good branch distortion pedal!
OVERALL OPINION
I've had a few days ago, but I had the opportunity to try it before and I always worked with amps in this series, so I knew what to expect when I purchase. I particularly appreciate the ease of use and sound clean and drive (not too push the distortion) that I find amazing! The channel "more drive" is a little less pleasant, but if you push too much it allows the distortion to accentuate still a bit during his playing solos, which I find quite handy! <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt="mrgreen" /> The look is well and everything seems solid. There are just the buttons provided footwitch that seem a little more "cheap" but otherwise okay. For that price I recommend it to anyone looking for a very powerful amp for playing good old rock and blues, reggae or even clean! It is a very good compromise that allows her to work well without taking his head too! If I had one day to buy one, I think I would do the same choice unless you have a bigger budget <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="wink" />
