UTILIZATION

super simple config which is used to amlpis guitar

no manual, but there is not 36,000 it is clear buttons directly accessible

THE clean is really big ... Big surprise!

Is obtained growling and velvety with my Epiphone the ideal PAu the special
The Strato you feel good grain and the type of guitar and game variations!

THE position "saturated" can be considered classic rock sounds good qu'ils'agit an overdrive bright enough but with a very satisfying bite and sustain

SOUNDS

in short, it is excellent
in drive, it is very satisfying, it is not a distortion

The guitar epiphone special pauls / strat mex 60's and cp pod Hd 500

I think the circuits are simple but quite musical with a good quality Hp and the coupling of two really gives an excellent result

The clean, I love it, and I like the overdrive that does its job well, but is not suitable for extreme distos

For saturation is pretty good, sometimes I put my pod hd 500 have a pure behind the most extreme saturation, but a small distortion pedal for would also nicely!!

In any case, nothing to dislike you will understand!

OVERALL OPINION

this is 4/5 months, but from the start, I was pretty impressed .. in the sense of the term, this amp yet accustomed to full amps lamps (one thousandth)

I bought a few at random, it was hanging in a corner, in a mag and having tried summarily I immediately identified its potential!

despite having tried bcp behringer amp current AC108 / orange crush 20 / Vox vc3/4/Vt & Dime Blacktooth all pretty disappointing if this is the REAL revelation He has a really very very good ... grain and I am very particular about sound quality, though!!

THE R / P / Q is very very good, vintage amps are good, and it is true that the current qq models I tested overall sound a bit HARDWARE (who quickly made to twist the ears without game words!) with modeling that expand the sonic possibilities, but are not very convincing,

it is better to model a simple one like this, but with fewer opportunities for better sound!!

Undoubtedly I remake this choice, but found!!
