«  good amp for home »

Published on 02/01/12 at 09:04
lamp.
2 channels, footswitch, effects loop, standby, ISF + 3bandes EQ, headphone + line
5watt
HP celestion 10pouces

UTILIZATION

Easy to use. common to the two-channel equalization and effective LAI.

Clean very clean, well served by distortion gain.
the amp is very tolerant facade pedals (distortion, OD, chorus, delay) but also in the loop (chorus, delay, volume pedal)

the manual is dispenssable. ISF is nice to find the grain but once set, it is left over. Home was: Bass: 4h; medium: 11 am; trebles: 10 am and ISF: 1 hour

are the 5W's. it is the power a little Battard. too tight for group play and too hard to play alone in the apartment. Especially the clean remains clean longer (it starts to bend 3 / 4 volume with double!). Personally, I used it with a volume pedal in the loop for the "curb" in half
I regretted the abscence of reverb but that's all it lacks

SOUNDS

Clean very right. lacks a little personality. You can feel the difference with a transistor, but it is not America!

I regretted it but not easily crunch the 2nd channel is here for!
In drive, it goes quickly and generously saturating the gain at 10. So to the crunch, have to be picky.

However, for the distortion is made for that. Very clean and good headroom. throughout the 80's hard to pass. it is rather rare for a 5w.

Were very low back (mainly because of the HP 10 "), you instead turn to version 12"

OVERALL OPINION

I kept it for over a year. I had time to go around but he filled until I buy an amp for double the price.

So I would say this amp a formidable force for complete beginners or home enthusiasts disto thick.

the quality / features / price is unbeatable as usual, for less than € 400, must choose between the effects loop and headphone jack, a 2nd channel and an HP celestion, an EQ and a standby ...

In short, it lacks the reverb, gain a range of more subtle and a 12 "to be perfect
