NOTICE GLOBAL

no better than johnjohnhans

I have, and I salute him ...
it's a little nerve ball .. on an old Strat, it reproduces the sound of this one. on an old SG, it restores the filthy cot in the SG (one single coil).
it is flat, dynamic, or compress of that you push a little ...

I regret that fact remains that very very few copies ... I think less than 10 ...

Well, well, it's a small combo, 20 W amplifier transistors flanked by a 5-inch hp.
Entrance, exit phones, 3 knobs, gain (with boost of 6 to 10), tone (from 0 to bright) volume, plus a switch on / off with his little red LED.
On the facade, there's written: guitar amplifier controlled compressor · Multi-level ° Made in Holland, "essential" in huge, 20 E in large letters cored. It throws, I like, and it is marked "Novanex" in red letters on the front, above the hp.

UTILIZATION

Extremely easy setup, one branch, we look for the desired crunch with the gain. Cranked in the boost, there is a good overdrive that takes good, sound blues tumbling, any scratch is happy. Volume level, it has a good potato, and if one wants to play with the gain and volume turned up, he does not at all to shreds, it's warm.
The tone control is very interesting, to 0, we have very useable sounds dull and donf in the bright, well, you get a hell of a brilliant without being aggressive, in short, you get more sounds with the knob with a number of bands equals 3.
I do not have the manual, I found it used 40 euros, I already knew, an old friend had the same time. One home with beef, it was too cool. I saw him, I took illico without finding out the price I'm new and happy end.

SOUNDS

Well, I know in a config rock blues, great for bulls without battery, into apartments. A Telecaster sounds good on it, for example. Sounds roots, I am sure that Keith Richards plays it, he laughs! I even remember a guy who had a hip SG prehistoric single microphone, single coil, with an easel, hello's, incredible, he's playing "six days on the road", j ' were taped.

OVERALL OPINION

I just bought it, but as said above, I had a great memory of an old time (like early 90's). I do not know the date of manufacture, I think the 80's, made in holland!
I played a lot of small amps, like everyone else, for work or for beef volume alone. The drive of it is terrible.
Report qalité price, 40 euros used, it is given. For me, anyway. After that, guys, if you want to do with metal, I can not tell you ...
If I remember one lying around, I take it, to offer to someone that I like.
I would rate almost in the vintage, this amp is biding his time. I have written this opinion in his honor, it does not appear anywhere on the net, to believe that it does not exist. Here, justice is rendered to him!
