«  A brave little amp! »

Published on 06/30/11 at 02:27
Already said so in summary: 10w transistor without reverb, clean channel 1 + 1 boosted channel switchable with button and without specific adjustment, headphone jack.
The finish is generally of good quality, including knobs. Pity it is that Vox did the economy of plastic corners to protect the beast of Bing in the trunk of the car!

UTILIZATION

Operation is extremely simple: you plug the guitar, you set the bass and treble, two knobs for volume and hop off you go!

SOUNDS

I use my pathfinder trio electric folk / rock without a drummer, combined with Leduc D3 and effect Korg AX1000G. The power is sufficient in this context (volume knob between 4 and 6 / 10 in this context clear sound) and sound quality is stirring in view of the price of the machine (61 €!).
I only use the clean channel leaving the Korg AX1000G manage saturations.L association of two works well but results in an exaggeration of the acute need to fix the amp (acute knob 1 / 4, grave 3 / 4!). In this context, the sound is clear and precise with a nice round and saturation are very compelling. I even used to a concert on the terrace and he did very well in the middle of 50W Marshalls.
Pity that a separate volume control is not available for the channel is saturated because it would have reached perfection! Indeed as we move into saturated in the score, the volume becomes too high.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this little amp for almost a year. I bought it on the net without trying it on the basis of excellent notices. I hesitated a little Laney LG. I like its versatility, simplicity, quality / price ratio, light weight and personality "British" friendly.

I will keep no matter what happens even if I buy a tube amp later to play with a rhythm section and in concert.
