All user reviews for the Tech 21 Power Engine 60 1x12

So this is a power amplifier of 60 watts (on paper anyway. In reality it is enough to repeat / concert .. it is really powerful).

4 knobs including: an equalizer level and 3 (medium, low, high). Buttons and connectors are well hidden behind the amp. There are people that I ca discomfort but a little after 2 years quibble at all and likes to push the pencil in the entries of my instrument, I'm glad it is there or they are these settings .. in addition, I can put my pod xt on the amp like this ...

The weight is great, only 16 kg ... it's really nice for transport,
very nice .. especially when we know that such a power lugs around.

UTILIZATION

Very simple setup ... is the preamp that does everything ...
I play all styles, that's why I took a pod XT, for its versatility.
order to have correct sounds and do not double the preamp and thus change dramatically starting my sounds, I started looking for a neutral amp.
I thought the cube 60 but to no avail, still ca changed my sound.

Then I looked for a power amp and speakers .. ca me quickly cooled amplifiers (most are in rack version) is quite expensive (except for the Rocktron Velocity 100 maybe ...) and enciente is not bad either .. not to mention the emconbrement and weight of all this ..
I finally read the reviews on Audiofanzine and I thought that was the solution for me meuilleure

SOUNDS

The Tech 21 does its job, namely the sound, the preamp ... Voullez you know if it rings? Instead, ask yourself if your preamp sounds by what it is that neutral .. the sound of the preamp is very respected!

Well, I say this but it's not necessarily true in the sense that the Hp come into account, ect ... I can just tell you that I'm really satsisfait, he even adds a warmth to my sound .. a certain "size" ...

One can easily play it low-level or high level to repeat, this poses no problem. which is great also is that the background noise is absent at high volume (I never had that! Well, it also depends on your settings). nothing to do with an amp (preamp / Poweramp) at equal volume.

OVERALL OPINION

Basically:

-Look great
Connectors are behind them (for me, it suits me better since my pod xt is above ..)
"It is of high quality (tech21.. Sondieré is as high-end .. or at least upper-middle range)
- It is overkill, so I can go together without repeated and prob ...
- A nickel!
- Weight and dimensions
The price is really fair to compare the quality of the amp (I've had nine to 429 €)
This choice I would do without hesitation.

Transistor power amp 60w combo that should be in the 16kg and mine is mounted with a celestion hp. 1 eq 3bandes volume, output jack, xlr there is a ground lift button which I have no idea what it is ... That's it.

10: tough, not heavy, original look, hp celestion

UTILIZATION

There is no simpler. One branch is turned the knob and it plays 4

SOUNDS

Ben is the sound of the preamp and all you can add the effect.
Better dynamic than most transistor I test lamp while a lower but at least it does not color the sound. The eq is effective and trs the volume can go far in the trs Dcibel and preserve the quality of the sound was low and high volume.

OVERALL OPINION

Pay secondhand 250 and 400 if that makes a nine excellent qualitprix.

Frankly there is no better in this price range for amp simulation because the pe is neutral and not suitable for every situation: in his room, rept, a small concert.

10

All the above is said, nothing to add ... IDAL is perfect.

UTILIZATION

Pffffffffff carrment too easy! Just know its rgler prampli ... well, ok, it really has not the easiest ... but the amp, it, doing nothing, while 12-H, pramp the RULES and then we see if need to adjust the amp APRS ...

SOUNDS

I play all styles, blues, rock, mtal, funky, with the POD XT Live and Variax is FEARSOME versatility, forcment!

a must for me with this amp: the modlisation of Vox AC 30 on the pod ... close your eyes and true, you believe, you feel the heat of the vox ... it's amazing! That said, for all modlisations is perfect, but I did not like me the vox modlisations front (headset or PA system) and it's really something else, we FINALLY get it the feel of an amp!

OVERALL OPINION

Ok, I use it for 2 days. We get the same kind of sound in headphones, frica least because we have not as the ears, but much more alive, in short, a real guitar sound with a real amp.
Excellent price quality ratio, I got it secondhand, but even nine 300 Do not hesitate.
I would definitely do it again the same choice because I wanted least of all type of lamp Atomic Reactor amp. too fragile, switching costs etc. lamp. I sold my marshall lamp (JTM 30: great for the blues) to offer me that the NO REGRET !!!!!
power is ample, and if not, I will be included in the sound for concerts so no worries.

Oh, I forgot, do not use the XLR DI output, it is clean but really too bad. It is better to put a SM57 in front of the dish to really enjoy this amp.

See previous ones-notice
Power-sufficient for RPET with a drummer.

UTILIZATION

- Use trs simple: you plug the Pod, ToneLab or other ...
- Even if the amp is fairly "neutral", it is ncessaire to rework his sounds with headphones sound facts. <ul>

SOUNDS

Unlike the previous ones opinion, I would not be so logieux.
The sounds are correct, restore what you program is ok.
on the other hand, if the amp sounds better than plutt conventional transistor amplifier, it has absolutely not a prsence lamps.
I did not compare with amps lamps expensive but with a fender hot rod: amp did everything correct but not fall down. Rsultat: the tech 21 and a Vox ToneLab, it's clean (too many actually) a little "string hi fi" in EXAGRES. With the fender was a prsence, a heat a much more lively, the sound of a brief lamps.
Clearly, such a simulation engine power ToneLab + (transistor) = amp lamps, it is false.
I prcise I'm not one born of "vintage".

OVERALL OPINION

Clearly, this tech 21 is not a big dung, he does what he asks, return your simulation.
on the other hand, that with a simulation this amp + = the equivalent of several lamps amp: DCON should not either ...
The only intrt a config: "+ simulation engine power" is the extreme versatile of sounds you get. For a guy who plays in making or ballochi The variety can be a useful, if, against, you always turn around two, three good basic sounds, the engine power has no int rt for you prfrer amp lamps.

+ points:
- Cheap.
- Power: enough with RPET drummer.
- Weight: lightweight.
- Allows the versatility you have a sound "in mind" fender, vox, marchmal ...
- Can be played low and high volume.

points -:
- If your simulation falls in the harbor? your bolt extended ... nothing is no longer anything if you buy not a simulation.
- Versatility of a cons-parties, even by grinding your simulation in every sense, you never have the qualities of a lamp is the simulation can transistor.Ca + stepfather empty, the EP with no lights, but in view of other hyper logieux opinion, has to be worth rappel.Le EP qualities but not the key for me.

For CHARACTERISTICS, see the first notice.

The amp can be faiclement DPAC saw his weight. The quality overall is satisfactory at the trs finishes.

UTILIZATION

In no need of the manual, given the simplicity but can be several amps to chain them, something I could not try.
The simplicity is a great quality for this type of amp because you can then devote themselves to the rglages prampli if its scratched.
There is a lightweight noise from I think the transformer but nothing serious.
The input accepts a POD XT without saturating background, which provides a good power overall.
Except that the controls and connectors are the rear, which is not practical dj, he is sorely lacking a light tmoin of power: we tend to forget to dye his amp ...
I agree with another user on the lack of progressiv the volume knob is teachers when playing at low rev.

SOUNDS

The sound is dynamic and plutt we feel the quality of HP Clestion, all the spectators frquences the guitar as well returned.
There is little effect on the Tone. For my part, I just pushed the bass.
Coupled to a prampli quality is a great amp for home and for the BPS.
I get sounds like JCM800, Fender Twin or other Rectifier with trs made interesting with distortion was easily the "big sound" and its clear, it seems to feel the heat lamps which are not, however Submitted!

OVERALL OPINION

I've had four months and I am satisfied with TRS, although some dtails "ergonomic".
Previously, I had a JCM800 and a petitcombo Vester: in my new configuration, PE60 gives me the pleasure of Marschall and ct practice combo.
My son also a possde Marchall and also has a Peavey t bluff.
I have not had the opportunity to try competitors (without prampli amps, there are some trs) but I think the report is satisfactory qualitprix.
For apprcier even better, I think a stand that tilts the box can be a good complment to use RPET.

Combo Poweramp + HP Celestion (Seventy 80 12 ") transistors (60 watts) which aims to be as neutral as possible.

I'll avoid the parallle with lamps, the goal is not to color the sound, in contrast gnral asked lamps (although this is possible, cf Atomic).

2 inputs (XLR and jack), a 3-band legalization and volume extremely difficult places and that's it.

At the same time, what's more, Oh yes, may be changing the grip position to ask his top pramp

The design looks solid, though not too heavy.

UTILIZATION

Using ultra basic, but made by lgrement rglage buttons and start up. In fact everything is derrire placed on top and not fawn Vox, see underneath the amplification with respect to the switch turned on.

In addition to the 4 SETTING THE potentiomtres volume and bass / midrange / treble can emerge as the TRS bit of the chassis making it difficult rgler with precision. That said, gnral, adjusting a time for all of the legalization of PE60 prampli and should not move too much (at least this is what I did).

SOUNDS

Its main quality is ... not to sound!

No color particulire is what is asked. But he revived a Pocket Pod I found dcevant and has more rvl INTERESTED via the PE 60. I use it now with an Axe FX Standard, by the cons because of the excellent quality of the Axis simus you feel a little diffrence in the transition from a 4 * 12 simultaneous to the PE 60 (and yes, it is the simulation of dbrayer HP!). No loss of quality just punch.

That said, I mostly play low volume trs (o dbrouille it well), a higher volume lev may fix this problem.

No high-volume test.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year and allows me to play with a little more than a headphone.

The report price is plutt quality good, but lack of competition tural (Atomic my knowledge only offers a similar product, and more expensive) one has any fawn not have much choice.

Repeat this choice? Yes, but not without testing before an Atomic Reactor. You never know, see what can make the lights ...

OVERALL OPINION

Purchased destocking PlayBack Guitar for 283 euros, delivered in 24 hours ... it helped me to hear for the first time my preamps (POD XT, V-Amp 2, Sansamp GT2 and company ...) format combo. As mentioned in previous post, it means that the preamp is in the belly ... So what is made is the quality of the preamp ...

I do not know if it's technically possible but I would have appreciated a story ... hp output to paste a 4X12.'' I made comparisons between my qques POD xt (simulation of the JCM 800 and 900) and my JCM900 2X12 combo''and it's pretty much knowing that hp are not the same.

This combo (Tech 21) is really convenient because it allows you to play any preamp and as a result can be a lot more sounds available in a traditional combo 1,2,3 or 4 channels ... It is for this reason that I bought. My JCM900 is great but limited in the range of sounds ... I will use in the studio and the combination preamp + Tech21 in chat group.

As long as you have good preamps, you're playing in chat group and you need more than 2 sounds the Power Engine is for you ... especially since prices on the net are extremely attractive.

Everything has been said ...

UTILIZATION

Use could not be more simple, given that most settings are made on the preamp ...

SOUNDS

I use my Power Engine with my Pod 2.0 and I can assure you that the sound that emerges is simply excellent! (Level guitars, I play a Epiphone Les Paul Slash and Telecasters).
As long as we can regulate the pod and you have something in the fingers, the report will be enormous. I was really blown away by the sound quality of this amp. I use it in my room for now, and I never had the opportunity to test at very high volume (scene), so I will not comment at this level.

Blackstar HT5 I sold my (all-tube), and I do not regret.
The Tech 21 brings to life my pod (rendering on the Blackstar was yucky, without being vulgar).

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it secondhand for 220 euros, less than a month and this price is quite a bargain!

Before I played mostly on Vox Valvetronix, and recently a Blackstar HT5 (so I knew the hybrid and all-tube), and I did not hesitate one second to know that the best sound I've ever eu is the one obtained with my Tech 21 Power Engine 60 + my Pod 2.0.
I just regret not having discovered this combination earlier.

That ... everything is said!

This is a combo containing a 60 watt power amplifier transistor and an HP all guitar 12 inch (30cm).

No preamp, and it's the whole point of this gear.

This machine is extremely bare. On the back are the amp settings: volume, treble and midrange EQ serious.
An input jack (where you connect a preamp).
XLR output for a subculture to a mixer or chain one or more other PE60.


UTILIZATION

There is therefore no difficulty in terms of configuration, you connect the preamplifier and play. I have not even opened the manual.
Gets it sound good? Well it depends completely that it affects the preamp. Personally, I plugged my Tonelab SE, and finally I discovered the qualities of my pedals ... Until now, I plugged the Tonelab on tube amps, attempting complicated configurations, and it sounded bad, or say rather, it was difficult to control. I set sounds at low volumes, but when repeated that I pushed a little amp, such preset came out too strong, another weak, this one too bland, this one too contrasting, etc. ...
With the Tech PE60, conditions are ideal. The combo is fully transparent, and my Tonelab is rendered perfectly ... I crank the output parameter of type "line", not "amp" and it is complete happiness. While the purists will say that it does not sound quite like a tube amp, but I promise you that it sounds good, really good ... and that is 1000 times easier and lighter.
In addition, compared to a PA system, the HP guitar can really get the best sound of the preamp ...

SOUNDS

I finally found the sounds I had programmed for recording, and this, by repeating. Pure happiness. I was a little worried that the amp is slightly off our acoustic drums (we play progressive rock) and not at all.
In terms of my stuff, I play on a Vigier Excalibur, using essentially the Seymour TB5 (bridge). If one day I will find ways to do it, I offered the rolls of amp simulators: an Axe Fx Vox Tonelab SE But it any case already top.


OVERALL OPINION

This is a recent purchase, but I think my opinion will not evolve further on this material. I just hope it lasts over time. I'm considering buying a second PE60, which will allow me to have one at the local, a second home, and use them both in stereo on stage.

Really pleased. Why complicate things when you just keep it simple?
