«  Very good, but ... »

Published on 07/12/12 at 15:17
Value For Money : Excellent
All lamps 5 watt amp switchable to 3 watts.
1 volume, 1 trebble, a middle, a bass
Loudspeaker Eminence 12 "

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use, view the possible settings!
Purchased for use in the apartment, it was a mistake! It would not have had close to 200 meters around!
It sounds great this amp too much for even really able to exploit it at home.

SOUNDS

Despite that, the sound is very good, highly crystalline, and this is probably due to its super speaker 12 ".
I still had a chance to push it a few times, and it's worth it.
This gives a very distinctive sound crunchy super nice. But for this, you have to play loud enough!
The switch in 3 watts can mitigate this aspect but it is still too strong for use in the apartment! The sound is a little more compressed than 5 watts.

We just play anything with this amp is super versatile ... if given the right branch effects pedal in front. Because, yes this amp, and this is his real forte, agrees very well the pedals. It really restores their tone and sound disperses very easily into the room. I do not know if I'm clear, basically, you appreciate his sound even if it is not in the axis of the amp.

I played with a Strat, an SG, a Les Paul-type and have all chimed in well. Coupled with the effects pedals follows:
- Big Muff, DS2, MXR GT-OD, Cry Baby Classic, ...

We really regret not having one as master general of the 15 watts!

OVERALL OPINION

I tried several lamps 5 watt amp, but this one had really conquered by its authenticity and quality of sound. I had not tried the Blackstar 5 watts and 1 watt which I have heard so much :-(
Sold today because not really usable at home, I use a fender mustang I which is more versatile in itself, but the sound is still worse ... Finally when I had a villa, I will think to change it again ;-)

Note: some noise from the lamp (vibrations) made their appearance a few months after purchase, when I was playing E string from a certain volume. To resolve this problem, we should buy a ring that is put around the lamp to prevent it from vibrating.
(Not tested).

Finally, it is a very good value for money, but to buy knowingly (no master General, 3 and 5 watts spitting and are difficult to manage in the apartment ... but a great sound!)
