Already said. . . it smells good lamps. 1w

UTILIZATION

The config is super simple to make, no need to spend hours on an equalizer ect, just ISF perfectly adequate!

According to the most important sounds (clean, kind usa or uk) they are written directly on the backing paper on top of the amp.

SOUNDS

This amp is great, because it has a wealth of its huge!

The clean is great, this is not the Fender blues junior but still. It can get very good crunch, overdrive like distortion or even, as saying that the sound palette is really spread out.

Also the amp responds very well to the dynamics of the game and respects his own guitar.

I play a Fender Strat Mex, with an Ibanez art 120, and I had the opportunity to play with SR (French copy of Gibson), and each time it makes the most of every guitar

The reverb is well balanced for my taste, I had a Crate V18 and I was afraid to find this effect from the cathedral quarter of portard

Especially with a gain knob and volume differential in clean placed the max gain, and there is a saturation just beautiful.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months, and what foot!

This amp allows me to:
- To have a low volume high because its use is easily lamps
- To have a portable amp, which can have a low volume, but can also be very surprisingly powerful for 1w, especially distortion, that the shipments of heavy
- To have a nickel for his recordings with computer music, with microphone or headphone output which is just superb
- Playing on the backing tracks (https://www.guitarbackingtrack.com/ for those who do not know really go see) with just a cell phone or mp3 (mini jack output)

But I also converted an old Marshall VS80 in cab (the amp was dead) and I did ask a jack directly on the hp. Once the amp connected to the amp is very impressive, it totally changes class, the sound is terrible. If possible, try to really connect on a Cab.

The only negative for me:
no possibility of footwish, I wish I can easily change channels to use the saturation of the amplifier rather than using a pedal (not necessarily with a sound as good)


Finally I therefore recommend that the person who want to play with headphones or low volume with a good sound. But these 1w are much more powerful than I thought, and you can really sounds with large volume (I have already brought the area playing at my door at the end of the garden ^ ^) A amp with more power would be a waste for my taste if you do not want to play in groups.
