«  Small but powerful ... »

Published on 12/28/12 at 14:27
I have the head version of the 206 MLe, so I do not have the problems that seem to speaker recurring ML 250 and 206 combo version because I directly out 2 HP (Rockton S112 or Marshall) stereo so.

This is an amp transistors two channels, it is in fact the evolution of the ML 250, more powerful and more complete level connectivity and trimmings.

In terms of connectivity is hyper and full stereo since it has two XLR line output, two line outputs in Jack, two speaker outputs (8 ohms), an effects loop (send + return) and an input (stereo) which also serves to return when using stereo effects in the loop.
A footswitch jack for the pedal 4 switches (channel, boost / compressor, reverb, chorus). A guitar input and a headphone jack.
Complete ultra connectors so.

Power is 2 x 60 watt stereo and sending it a lot.
The levels adjustment was therefore EQ common to both channels, four knobs, treble, bass and two for low and medium high. It is very effective as it is an active EQ, the sound changes really celon the position of buttons, like in mesa boogie but less headaches.

The change compared to 250 ml is in the fact that there are two buttons for trimming the chorus (which is pre-set at the factory to the 250 ml).
Each channel has its own volume and saturated channel has a gain knob (drive) and a button shape that affects the sound saturated (left and his typical American right rather british, between the two there is necessarily a happiness.

Effects are reverb, chorus, compressor lorque one is on the clean channel and boost when you're on the channel saturated.

UTILIZATION

The config is super simple, it sounds both live in saturated clean, the sound is warm.

After, turn the knobs to find the sound that suits us and then we realize that it is a true laboratory of his, everything is possible, it's really interesting to turn the knobs a bit.

The manual is easy to find on the manufacturer's website, it is full even though I have not needed if it is to check the connections (input for the stereo effects loop, because I enters a nova delay).

SOUNDS

I recovery and I need a versatile amp, I am filled, except for the delay, I have everything on hand.

As I said, the sound is very clean slamming, with a hint of reverb sound was fenderien in saturated's going to sound very fat, not too precise sound very sharp while maintaining sound guitar, I play both Strat (custom shop pickups on Lespaul in P90, of course it does not sound the same.
I have no preference for different sounds, I use both clean tones that saturated. I dose in saturated directly with the volume of the guitar. Something nice, the attack string also influences the dynamics of sound in saturated, it is quite sensitive.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year, I have had many multi-effects rack preamp (Voodu Valve, Tubefex, Profex, Gsp 2110, GP8, GP16), I was a little tired of spending more time dealing with that by playing against I enjoyed playing in stereo, this little amp can, especially at the delays and chorus sound that changes a lot.

What I love about this amp is the size / efficiency. It fits in a small aluminum case with every wiring. In addition we are not even obliged to lug HP since you can direct the sound out.
The head version is found in France, mine is 110v, I use a 220v converter. The value for money is therefore difficult to assess.

I put a lot of time to snag one, I wanted a 250 ml (I had tested one at its output, a long time ago) but I always hesitated because of the illness of speakers that age very evil.

I finally found my happiness, even if I have to pay the price, I am very happy for what is to remake this choice I do not even think it is so rare.
