What type of amplification (lamp, transistor ,...)?

It is a single channel transistor with a combo of 6.5 Hp mutable to move the amp in "head", the size of a MIDI box (I use a MIDI box to carry it). I think it must weigh a mere 10 kg, we feel that the amp is fused. Please allow the pedals to play with but the clean is already well
.

What is the power delivered?

200 Watts announced, I used to say, I do not put more than 4. We can consider a concert in a room with good.

What connection?

The most basic possible, an input jack, an 8 ohm speaker output, an auxiliary input. Me it suits me quite I do not need effects loops (J uses very little or not)

What are the settings, effects?

There is a volume knob, a gain knob, a tone and atmosphere.

This amp is pretty special because if the gain is at 0 there is no sound coming out of the amp, so it must refer to a small guide that comes with the Lunchbox that advises starting with a gain half the race before adjust the volume knob. Tone button works very well and target frequencies are carefully chosen to fill the "lack" of a more traditional equalization. The button is used to determine the ambience are open or closed cab. The gain, moreover, revealed a slight overdrive limit transistor but not unlistenable.

UTILIZATION

configuration is simple?

Easier ... I do not see how we could do better

The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

The manual is in English, but very easy to understand and read AIDR to understand the functioning of the Beast

Do you get a good sound easy?
We arrive at something without the correct manual, exellent good even if one has read

SOUNDS

Will it fit your style of music?

I play mostly Black Metal, Brutal Death, Death. When my bass arrived in rehearsal room he literally exploded with laughter at seeing the size of this amp. So yes, the visual level in a metal that is not super great. But when you hear the sound of this amp is insane and exceeds all expectation. I thought a 6.5-hp "it is too small to make the metal, there will be no serious". Yet there are serious! The sound has a potato of hell. I played on the ValveKing 50 before ... Buried this thing, it weighs a ton and the sound is much worse than the lunchbox.

With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play?

I played with 3 guitars in many different characters that pass through a Pocket Metal Muff and a delay Onerr.

First a Iceman ADX 120 A Drop granted. I m expecting a sound rather boiled without any definition, yet it sounds the fire of God, the sound is wide and well defined, it does not always drool

Then an Ibanez GRG 06 normally granted with a Paf Pro Humbucker from hell and especially the AP-2 in EMG. Ditto, his enormous, not a breath and fart exellent, the amplifier meets the guitars.

And finally my guitar concert, a Harley Benton 7-string with micro Guitarheads (Very good builder that I recommend to our friends low budget). The sound is very good even with my guitar "cardboard".

What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "fat ",....)?

I can get a powerful and heavy, which is amazing given the size of HP, I wonder what happens with a 4x12 cab

Edit of 09/09/2010: I found a very interesting config to earn serious without losing power, I use one of my passive PA speakers with a HP 15 ". The sound is gaining in wealth, in the presence . And it remains a small footprint

OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it?

2 weeks of intensive repeated
What thing do you like most/least about it?

Most:-portability, my amp is in my saccoche concert picnic.

- The sound, safe and amplitude, the power!

- The price! (267 € for an amp of this quality, better than some lamps)

The least: - A single channel (Do not worry I n I need is one)

-No reverb.

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...

Not only do I do it again but I also advise anyone who wants a good amp for a fair price to buy this one. You can always add one or two chains of effects for many channels that we can be désire.Mais in concert it must be plugged into a larger cab, and again. This amp is a REVOLUTION
