All user reviews for the Ibanez Tone Blaster 25R

A "small 25W" transistors that comes overdrive, clean sound with reverb and equalizer.
Above in addition to the guitar between between there is a headset, good for those who play later in the evening or when the neighbors screaming and accounts for a footswitch (to switch to overdrive clean and vice versa without touching the switch facade). The enclosure uses is a Power Jam PJ30G

USE

The rglages are Harchi-simple, requires few pots
I do not use any effects or overdrive, I took after having aquri a multi-effects pedal that handles give therefore only the best quality distortion equalizer serves me for more prcis rglage on the pedal

Then comes the only part that interests me in this little amp I have named the output power and quality of listening, and I'm just fallen on my ass to the point of wondering why people they achtent of 60W amps, it gives her a halucinante power, dare I hardly get to del with 1/4 of the volume, above my windows explode ... c ' it is the little critter eh potato, group or between ca friends will do nicely, add me as a good pedal and you have a system like in your dreams (can -TRE even better: D)

SONORITS

So well I my thing is metal, so big sound and precision are put in résumé this amp is for me the firm is really great and amplification steps.

Malgrs AC it is very versatile, it lends itself to mtaleux I'm the one who has the blues, pop-rock, rock, ....

I currently know it with a BOSS ME-30 gives me a breath of malgrs the pedal a very good distortion, worse than the pedals spares Vidament but still more than adequate especially ct the final price ....

That said I take a point as the original distortion is not as terrible as my pedal but it should amply the great beginner to novice

NOTICE GLOBAL

I personally played 4 hours per day on average (watch in hand, yes I know I'm a psychopath ^^) .... I, who loves to ride a little volume ca normment I like but I almost reproach him his power extent, this is to be taken lightly to turn the volume knob as a bad move and * boom * hapu eardrums hapu windows' (but hapu neighbor and long ^^

I bought it there c 2 days time, his former owner explained to me that sparait because he did not need as much racket even in group

If I would do this choice? Without hesitations, yes !!

I got this amp for $150 at a local hole-in-the-wall music store. The one I had before purchasing this one was only like 5 watts, so I needed an upgrade.

I like the over drive (distortion) and reverb that came with it. The distortion is kind of the grunge type which was pretty good for me because I play a lot of Nirvana and stuff. The palm muting isn't spectacular though with it on. The reverb makes each sound reflect and echo superbly. You can best notice the reverb when you are playing clean.

My Danelectro Distortion Pedal gives the amp a heavier sound, with the palm muting being very bassy and hard. It's better to play metal stuff with a metal distortion pedal with this amp because the on-board overdrive isn't spectacular for really heavy stuff. But, if you can't afford a distortion pedal then you can probably work with it, and it should work fine for you.

When volume is turned up a little over half way with overdrive, the whole case buzzes from the vibrations. It gets kind of annoying, and would seem emberassing if it were to do that at a live gig. I may just need to tighten it up somwhere, I don't know.

It hasn't fallen apart on me yet. The whole unit is fairly heavy, (maybe 20 lbs probably lighter) but it's not that bad.

All in all, it's a pretty solid unit for practicing with. Maybe even loud enough to go over drums and stuff if practicing with a band, although I haven't had a chance to try it out like that yet.

Instrument input.

Reverb, distortion, 3 band eq .. has already been said or view special.

UTILIZATION

Manuel .. ah ...

Config simple.

Yes we get a good sound easy.

For home use, perfect attention to the volume anyway.

For rehearsal with battery co. not too bad if the room is quite airy, very well to start it anyway. He even small concerts where it was transplanted to PA.

SOUNDS

Yes it was appropriate to the style of music (punk, rock, metal, pop, grunge and electro, experimental)

I used it primarily to sound with distortion and reverb, effects pedals more entry-level (3g korg, korg ax1g.)

I played with a guitar ibanez GSA60.

I loved the distortion more than the pedals mentioned above. More character, fishing, cutting edge, it's all subjective, but I have fond memories of this amp.

I did not like the clean sound without EQ or reverb, a little "box" but hey, widely acceptable for use with micro or central gsa60 the neck pickup.

For double distortion bridge pickup was perfect for grunge.

I hacked a lot of sounds from this amp .. as tune guitar and dub in a shure sm58 who sent it on low-end mix table samson amp sent to R600 with PA speakers low end even gave a wharfedale behind his demented, very heavy and greasy ... cool


I liked pushing the volume, reverb, gain, etc.. make feedback, not ideal for I think, but not bad, coming from the amp ...

I make him see all the colors, I've also spent a synth Bontempi child inside and that made the hardtek .. if so!

I put the microphones singing too ... not good ... to shout in with the reverb and the amp thoroughly interesting enough anyway when you start and you have never sung anything else and now I'm curious to do it again ...

Not recommended to me (for survival) Guitar If granted, or that sort of thing (drop D no problem) but if I think that the abyss if you push a little.



I loved the shake to get reverberated sounds very strange .. (Which inevitably ended up killing the reverb)

OVERALL OPINION

I do not use more. I used it at least 6 years without any problems. I then left to move.


I have abused me making it into account its "value" (bouncing around fallen, shaken, I went up top, played bass, guitar détunée 2 or 3 tones with volume, low distortion and bottom) .. . he ended up with various concerns, reverb which "jumps" or that no longer works, hardly adjustable knobs (volume goes from 1 to 8, particularly in lead mode ..), a parasite at a particular frequency in clean (I do not remember which) when I played some notes clean it produced a distortion of background ... very unpleasant) ...

Special I loved most:
sound, character, distortion and power for the range in which it is located.
storage possible behind the amp


I liked the least:
A single output (headphones)


I tried other amps of the same range (I forget which) at the time (now I can not say) and I liked this one for what has been said (to his distorted electro grunge hard metal industry, which trails well)
(But not for clean)


Yep, I do not regret this purchase.



AVISSUBJECTIF ------------- -----------------------
(I am not a guitarist (well a little but no more) or sound engineer (a little but not more )...............

Cest cequ'il There's just one amp is simple nothing is superfluous top
Incredible 25 watts
I put 10 for that price, I dfi quicquonque to beat.

UTILIZATION

Config simple, two volume knobs parallle, one for distortion and the clean channel, operable by a button on the front panel or a switch (not supplied) that connects also the face of the b te.

was a sound 15.26 sec watch in hand, it's not the mesa, but for the price it is silent.

only "shadow", the distortion is a powerful and plutt the apartment is quite rglage Minucia because between too much and not enough there's no half a millimeter. but hey, patience is a virtue, a virtue that I do not have o 9 / 10 but it's good for purists.

SOUNDS

Well then this ki o want to rock the country and jazz, forget the tt on ...

by against the hard metal and it is a standard con seems what I say because it's a 25w p'tit and when I bought it I say the same thing but the thing is it sends the sauce, I use a ibanez boss ds1 distortion and two and mxr m-104 and a Boss ME10 plutt I use to amplify sound for quee its effects.
despite the fact that ca be a 25w as I said, I have pushed Jamai when we played in groups more than 4 out of 10.

May I clear RPET sound much more than acceptable qu'tant is colder than a marshall or a fender, but the distortion is well worth the latter.

it gives me the best investment that beginners can do for beginners, if he can not save more money.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this amp for 1 year and a half apart in groups and as it does both perfectly.

the ratio is unbeatable qualitprix 160euros!!
hallucinnent all my friends whenever I told them.
this amp is perfect for beginners and I see the RPET (yes I know has 30fois), despite its "25w" It is incredible power and can play in groups.
if I had the choice again I refer.

J'espre this article will help you make your choice.

masouleo

25W transistor amp with a sound worthy of a 2 times more powerful amp ..: D
easy to use, among footswich, 2 channels, reverb .... etc..
In addition it is super beautiful!

UTILIZATION

Trs simple use, a panel of tense and its really easy to find .. Manual useless but tt case quite clear.
rglage the sound of distortion is really careful because ilpasse of trs trs trs very low in 1 / 2 mm .. problem, however, too large

SOUNDS

Amp perfect for me .. mtal I play rock, punk or music sound fresh funk and country, and all sorts of great amp! I'm glad this little trs ibanez!!
I prefer to play in clean and move in with a distortion pedals, and still, the sound is clear and trs prcis!
if you have the time to move to switch to distortion by pressing the button, it has a trs disto really good, though I prfere that of the pedals., (note that by a p dale of footswich, we have more get up leprobleme press the button) (it is empty ...)
what to say other than this.; amp PSE about 9kg ..

Kaime really all sounds the amp that I could draw

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a trs he joined me well and my guitar ibanez j'obitens of good sounds with trs
I ssay cdr15 the marshall before and I prfere the ibanez, because dja quil is more powerful (albeit at the same price!), but really because the sound is good, the distortion is pr Cise, and it fits my style of play
that it is heavy enough to bother me the way to the guitar lessons but
I have this problem the pus from coming in, because I found a solution.; the amplifier becomes a perfect amp (as if he did not shut dja) ...
I find the quality-price ratio really exeptional ... I'm really happy with this choice I made with comments that are dja it, and if a c'tait again, I really no remake hsiter!

Vouyer Oh!

This little combo 25W transistor follows me since I started guitar. The connection is very simple: one between a headphone jack, a plug for the footswich. Footswich Why, you say? Ben has two channels, of course! A clean and OD, which will be discussed later. Regret: no effects loop. the "R" attached to "25" means Reverb, therefore, no surprise, there is one reverb intgre without m'tre information I can forward it is numrique. The knobs are all there from classic for this type of combo: in clean, a 3-Band EQ and a volume knob, to drive volume and gain knob, and finally one for the level of reverb.

As I've dj criterion, we may regret the absence of an effects loop and a Second Entry useful for small herds imprvus. However, all trs is solid, easy to transport and good quality (in 8 years and wheelbarrows, not a pet ', not a knob that crachotte, Marshall DFX would do better to take a leaf ...). Also note that the amp is "open" on the rear (the HP is not locked), which has two consquences:

1 to 1 unfortunate fall with a dagger in a totally impossible angle could lead the destruction of the HP ... Honntement I dfie anyone to make me swallow such a story.

2 - it is convenient to slip the cable of power supply, which ts amp, can not be unplug. You can also store mdiators, jacks, ropes, sandwiches, toothbrush, canned ... Please note this amp does not rfrigre, forget the yogurt.

UTILIZATION

Well, we'll see how it works. Everyone knows electric plug outlet? Go! I have enough dj evokes the config, very simple. I would strongly advise the purchase of a small footswich to make life easier when you want to change channels. ATTENTION: you have a simple FS (mine is a Matrix, efficient, no frills, cheap, super). Translation: you can change channels, but not enable / disable the reverb with the foot.

Yes, I know, then, yes ... Commenons by the channel knobs clear the volume is adjustable, but a small j'mets reserved. Below 9 is a bit all or nothing, the knob is better APRS chelon.

In saturated channel was not a right, madam, but two, I mean TWO knobs! Regarding the volume, I do the same lightweight criticism that the channel clear is even more pronounced in drive (clean it for the limit of the silent quibble). The gain is rglage plutt good heel but at least has a little crunch dj, max is the trs, trs saturated (too much for me, but it ' really got a question)

Finally, qualiseur 3 bands (bass, middle, treble, incredible, right?) Is effective even if I plutt deprecated (as often elsewhere) rglages the extreme.

The level of reverb knob is easy to use (from left to right and right left ...) and since there is no question of talking about the sound we will have to wait a bit ...

Finally, I would like to speak on behalf of many members of AF that is constantly rabche the name of a manual. For my part, I do not know who he is, but it must be really important in the world of music, because I am always asked if I had my stuff with him. I think in this case that we can do without.

SOUNDS

The heart of the matter? Well, well, if we can blablater ... I bought this amp when I started the guitar, so I had a small combo plutt versatile. The many ports tmoignages affection for this bug enthusiasts does mtal m'tonnent however. I play rock, blues and a tad of jazz, and even when this amp rpond Submitted whenever I need it, say it often.

The clear sound is of quality done everything right: the amp does not blow, the sound is plutt good compared to other amps of the same type. The sound palette is quite wide and your exact dpendra your hardware and your desires. In clean, the reverb sounds plutt well, even if we should not push too much, if not a breath.

The channel is not saturated because my prfr saturation is I got too radical. Also, combine heavy distortion and reveb and you'll get without playing a single note, a good old schhhhhhhhhhhhschshchhhhhhhh families! That said, it's normal for this product line. But it is also the one regrets the absence of a loop in which a noise gate would have cleaned all a. ..

Looks like I'm STRID as a, but no! I quibble but it is also informed that as a ... Besides, I always use it with pleasure. Although sr, I do not use the channel because I drive a few pedals which, upstream of a noise gate, do the job. I sometimes even a bit of Global Warming with his prampli Presonus Blue Tube lamp type or something like a.

Previous notice to return, yes it spit this thing! A ct of some 100 W, it is quite audible, even if good for group play, forget, unless your friends are not, but then not really nags. That said, I remember one 50W bottom has a good chance of better sound with a master 100W noon (trs is true for the lamps, and a little true for transos).

Finally, if you breath on the clean channel when you connect the BTE, remember that it's not his fault: it is your electrical installation is the pick (and often ...).

OVERALL OPINION

Overall opinion ... Yeah, what about? We will follow the FA to fill the box ... Let's see ... I or reused for ten years ending for (!)... The particular feature I like most ... Well, say the clean channel and the solid ct hyper hyper hyper reliable practice amp ... the least ... Must still be determined even though the saturation, at the same time is not an amp for mtalleux, do not EXAGRES ...

Acqurir before, I knew that slab, I had not tried even then other ... That said, now I have tried many small combos now, it remains one of my prfrs, and I do not think it is only sentimental ...

Report qualitprix ... ben the era I lived with my parents hooks, so good, I think I'd touch around 700 F the era, or the same price as today. At this rate the is a good plan, has always used. I think it was worth the shot in time, mine is like new and yet he saw a lot of beer of any trs prs everything a. Difficult to say whether I would do the same choice today, the offer is no longer the same, there is a Harley Benton 5W All Tube less than 100 euros in Thotho which said the greater good. .. I put 9 for solidity copy.
