Ho, a good amp all good boi ... ha no! Excuse! Chip box recomposed, vinyl junk, knobs and creaky minimalist welds, which is more poorly executed.

If you discover the world of guitar it looks beautiful, but it is in the street. Whether having its effects and we can have cleans, crunch and distortion will change nothing. The life of this investment is extremely limited, moreover, to consider the loss is totally bewildering.

The guy who I was in had paid the head with the 4x12 ... Sfr 950 exactly! 950 BALLS GUYS! You can buy a real amp shop with this award. An amp that will hold all your life and will in any case some value in the future! He has definitely potatoes thrown through the window 900, and he is already thinking about re-amp change.

UTILIZATION

Apart from the knobs that crack, and suggest the imminent death of the machine (it is new, make sure we understand), it is usual quite enjoyable. Sounds were located on various channels, can be called via footswitch. And effects. Competition is rarely better at this price.

SOUNDS

We tried a little in all styles. Dynamics is rather poor, although one can still démerder, planed it still okay. It also commits some little, especially on the high gain modes. The lack of definition and fidelity of the game the player or the instrument itself, is not transcribed accurately. It was a kind of "result", which is roughly what we played around. And for an amp of this price, it is clearly not enough.

The clean is not bright and ugly. The crunch is not bad but lacks definition and global dynamics. Distortion is filthy and drowned in a kind of slick slimy disgusting.

Also add a breath, now, when the volume goes up and that has nothing to do with the quality of the guitars used in this test (Tokai ls195 premium gretsch white falcon japan, warrior soldier, Gibson SG Standard).

Then we came to play with a drummer. No problem. But the sound was drowned under the VOX AC15, now more squarely on the frequencies that human ears the better. And suddenly, always forward.

OVERALL OPINION

I think everyone would be better covered with another product. Take the JW Goldstar, for example. Ok, found the amp shop across the street, and yet it will be a true british crunch with real distortion and should, approximately, into a small thirty years. But even an ordinary transistor or a Tech21 blackstar HT40 offer you more feeling. Even bugera, normally not very developed, should, according to the models, have better sound in reserve.

Some will say "it's everywhere and it was like the service and the seller never ready if something happens." Well there they are right. It's really nice to have everything ready the seller when buying such a crap, because you will surely, sooner rather than later, go see him for repair.

Jean-Pierre Koff had a beautiful expression to define what kind of products:

- This is shit!


Just Jean-Pierre, right!
