Transistor amp 50 watts RMS.
From left to right on the front:
6.5mm input jack,
gain, bass, middle, treble (the light)
switch clean / OD
Gain, bass, contour, treble, volume (Overdrive)
Preset / Adjust (choice and adjustment of the intensity of the chorus + delay, delay, chorus, flanger)
Level (output level of the selected effect)
Reverb
Master volume
emulated output / headphone jack (useful to play to the end of the night without losing any proper relationship with his neighbors or his parents ...)
FDD button to activate or not the emulation of tube amp.
Surla back:
taken for footsiwtch (supplied) to switch from light to overdrive and enable or disable the effect (watch the reverb is not switchable ..)
in and out for effects loop
In CD
decision for HP
and taken to the power supply.
So the very classic, we see immediately what to do for the sound.
UTILIZATION
Level configuration is simple and clear, to simplify, we branch left, and the sound goes straight up, it is difficult to get any easier ...
Do you get a good sound easy?
Enough facilmente yes, with a little experience we end up having the desired distortion in no time.
For cons, the sound is clear enough identical, except late in the course of the gain knob, which adds a real crunch, we approach a lot of Daitro for those who know ..
The manual is useless, everything is extremely clear, it can be used for examples of sounds when you do not know the amp, but otherwise it is useless ...
SOUNDS
Clear sound
for its clear, the Gain knob is not just adjust the volume of this channel, it can really determine the amount of "gain" from clean, ie if the knob is near the mini, it will push the Master for something kind of beast, but the sound will typically transition: very clear, very cold, perfect for metal arpeggios, for example.
When pushed to the middle of the race, a slight improvement is felt, the sound gains a little heat and brilance, but nothing huge.
where this button is starting to become really interesting is when it is turned from the 3 / 4 of its travel. At that time, the win by slamming her, not at the level of AC-30, but the simulation is much closer to reality with warmth, roundness (the above is not crystal clear away end) and when it is fully, we get a clear sound really hot, which will tend to "crunch" a lot of the attack and the microphone selected.
Overdrive
the range of the overdrive is really interesting, you can navigate between the almost clear, too much reacting to the attack, and a much larger distortion bourrinne to Slipknot and Metallica, to AC / DC or santana or the bluesy crunch, let us crazy ... The contour knob, replacing one of the mediums here, really sculpt the sound to 0 are cut low mids and high are "Bosst", and 10 is the reverse with a cut in the treble, for example by adjusting the sound with (from left to right): 8,6.5,7,5, it is quite close to Mettalica. There is thus a very versatile overdrive, much more than the clean sound for my taste.
Effects
The onboard effects are pretty good quality, I use mostly chorus and delay, but very few. But we can get the 80's quite easily typed or typed "guitar hero" with beacoup of delay as well. Their setting is very gradual, and the fact to the effect to add some bottom fishing to your sound (the clear sound with the gain in depth and gain a bit of grain when the effect is welcome to stop).
Played with an Ibanez GSA60 and a BOSS HM-2 used for the crunch, the sounds are quite simpas, the light can be really slamming, especially in position or double + single micro environment, and distos are really usable, it navigates easily from one style to another.
In short, sounds very versatile, but clear sound a little weak compared to the overdrive. The effects are not of the quality of a Pandora, but go well for someone who does not know what a chorus or flanger.
9 / 10 because of its light can be a bit bland.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for several months, and this amp has satisfied me, even if it seems outdated after trying an AC-30, this amp will satisfy those who want enough power to cover a nervous drummer without straightening the neighboring can be addressed a little cafe-concert without much worry.
Points +: overdrive, simulating lamps of good quality clear sound.
Points -: the clear sound rather bland in its dévut cousre, we do not see much difference between the start and half ...
Value at the level of services provided, I bought € 290, and I would do this choice because it's still a good amp, provided it is not known what the amplfication Tube ...
