A combo amp + multi-effect transistor while, but that sounds way amazing!

Full metal chassis, super-solid, knobs identical, and the expression pedal is a removable Ernie Ball. It means everything! In short, we do not care for us at Rocktron ... You will soon feel confident hand strength!

To set sounds, it has 3 knobs ribbed rotating at infinity. The display is bright and clearly visible. Then there is the small button serves to protect the sound. It was finally a master volume knob that is placed on top so that a small movement of the foot to be lowered or increased.

To change patches, it has 6 buttons very solid.

In terms of connectivity, we have: guitar input, stereo audio output, jack for expression pedal format (Jack), making guitar pedals and taken to noon. It's simple and sufficient both.

Side effects, it has almost everything a guitar pro or semi-pro needs to make the scene.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is not especially easy, because you have to spend some time fiddling with knobs 3 to find what you want to change. It is best to start looking for a factory preset that approaches what we want, and then modify it and place it where it wants to crush some leaves of plants with presets it will not necessarily help.

When we get more comfortable with the machine, then we can begin to really look for the nuances of depth settings that the machine offers. And believe it: there is plenty to do.

The user manual is delivered (unfortunately for non-English speaking any English), but as shown, it will come easily to guess what to do, despite some maneuvers rather boring at first.

Small disappointment: the machine has all the effect, unless a tuner that could be welcome ...

SOUNDS

Let us say right away: this thing sounds really super good! Versatility is key!

Difficult to imagine that there is not a single lamp in there! The factory presets are always well done (not like in other brands conccurents where some presets are designed to make the demo sound possibilities at the expense of musicality).

As the creature has a Eq BEFORE the distortion, and another AFTER the distortion, there is already pleiiiiiiin of sonic possibilities on its saturated (on the other hand, allow time for programming).

OVERALL OPINION

- It sounds just as well since I bought it ...
- All the sounds of plants are very well done
- No sensation of sound compression chemical: all sounds so natural sounding
- The effects are very convincing (the noise gate is awesome)
- 'Must still spend considerable time to program all this quarter of hair!
