HP-12 "with an output of 100W
- 4 channels (Clean, Crunch, Lead, Warp)
Comes with a footswitch-quality
Automatic memory-effects
-Possibility of a 2nd footswitch to bypass the effects and reverb
UTILIZATION
Configuration is very simple, the footswitch for channel 4 is great, and it's solid, great design, especially with the blue lights! it takes little room for a 100W sound is achieved very easily, and the effects are quickly resolved and practical! the manual is good, and also the small leaf on the receiver indicating a recommended configuration
SOUNDS
I tried a lot of amp for all brands, Marshall, Peavy, an old Hughes and Kettner also, line 6, crate ... I use a distortion pedal Boss MD-2, the old Hughes and Kettner and Peavy was not on the pedal, it sounded any way, but then the matrix combo .... never heard that, it's sublime, I play metalcore bcp (trivium, bullet for my valentine, Atreyu, Heaven Shall Burn), also static-x ac ac mounted on a ibanez jackson humbuckers, and a Jackson JS30 RR, and I play with korn Ibanez RG 7420 (7 strings) ben get exactly the sound I want, I find the palm mute ... I never heard that ac ... some bass, I have shivers down my spine every time, and low volume!! it's beautiful
if not for the sound of the pedal without matrix:
clean: clean the best I've heard, it is both warm and crystalline, it really gives the guitar sound its best, I was impressed with the sustain! a very low volume, I get a very long sustain! love
Crunch: For those who play nirvana or sth in the genre, it's really not bad, it sounds great too
lead: for me the best distortion of the amp, it's okay to play metallica with a good gain, or other metal not in tropical extreme distortion
Warp: ca tro not kick me, I find that the sound is good but other than that we should not tro to gain if the sound is not terrible
if the effects are all very successful and very useful, and quickly set c
In conclusion, without distortion pedal, this amp is not for a big distortion of the metal, it has a very slight metal disto for metallica's it going again but the more it is better to nag a pedal ...
I put 9 for the warp and the fact that I can not play my style of music without pedal
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a week, and I am 100% satisfied, in addition to 300 euros ... it's really nothing for an amp like that, I also made direct with the FS-2 footswitch to bypass the effects and reverb, very practical!
what I like most is its sound bin, it has one of its power! especially in low! the palm mute are sublime! I love everything, its superb design, robustness, small size, the footswitch, effects, quality, price of course!
yes I think I would do without hesitation that choice, but I wait to be able to try it first on scene
