The VBM-1 is a small transistor amp. He is the faithful replica of the "Deacy" amp transistor, John Deacon, Queen bassist. It includes a treble booster that can be transplanted into an amp (it seems you can leave the queen in a plugger AC30)
With 10W amp it will more than studio scene, but do not hesitate to plug it into a 4x12 ".
For my part, I looked a little amp room, basic but with character ... won!

UTILIZATION

I use it in my living room grattouillier for 5 minutes in passing.
As they say in other circumstances, it is plug and play!
At the same time, there's not beat around the bush, gain, volume, switch High / Low for the distortion and tone knob. Ultrabasic. and the output treble booster that can be out of a tube amp to find the sound of Brian May.

SOUNDS

This is where it gets great with this amp pokey. The panel's incredible for me.
As soon as I got it, I took out all my old analog pedals telling me that I sound a little spice ... I have kept the Wah.
No way to have crystal-clear sound distortion or super precise and deep (it is even a qd 10w with 3 buttons but just playing with the tone, gain and various microphones of good strata, can cover a range soupsonnais I do not for a moment (I get 10, like in sound).

I listened to various songs played in a 4x12 "marshall ... incredible. I look forward to test.

OVERALL OPINION

So I'm having in my living room, for some months.
I looked for an amp with grain and a true personality, it's found!
Listen to the intro of It's Late Queen, you will understand why it bears his signature.

I tried to purchase, a Fender and a Kustom 10w 15r. it seemed very flat appearing.

Finally, it remains a 10W with few settings, cheap (nine paid 170 euros). Lovers of Rock / Blues to test immediately.
