Brunetti MC-2

Péamp amplification and all lamp, 60w, effects loop adjustable input level (preamp or fx) 1 amp switch. Crankset includes good quality cover.
3 channels

UTILIZATION

Very simple to use, it quickly finds its settings.

SOUNDS

Very versatile, I play everything with, complies with the guitar used (with a personal vigier exca custom). I mainly use the clear and full.

The reverb is good but a bit too intrusive for my taste of which is beyond the lvl 2, I prefer to use an external.

The boost is amazing, very convenient to stand out when it y needs. to listen, it looks like a sort of loudness for gtr amp

OVERALL OPINION

6 years of use, the only purchase that I do not intend to resell since I play guitar (30 years)

I had jazz chorus, Rivera, Fender, Marshall, Johnson ... etc. ...

The only choice that would make me hesitate is mesa boogie, but it's not the same budget.

In conclusion, incredible value for money if it was not the means to afford a mesa.

SPECIFICATIONS All the Retailer on the official site. In short it's all gravy Italian lamps, the set is fairly complete and seems of good quality workmanship.

UTILIZATION

Use clear, impossible to get lost for days and days the nose in the manual, config paramtres offers a range of classic and fairly comprehensive.

The rglages are effective but personally I never found my sound on, then is it a matter of got or not? Let's say that store essay with a Les Paul a lot and gave j'tais confident but arrived home with a scratch identical (or almost Les Paul Custom) does not really sounded like I wanted. I have made after 4 days of testing have APRS and every possible setup.

In short it is easy to use but it does not forcment a palette of his large trs.

SOUNDS

did not suit me at all actually ... I'm in a pop-rock band, I wanted an amp with a clean classic neutral and see a big straight saturation.

Question clean and crunch is nothing transcendent, but correct. For the distortion in my opinion not as standard as what is said to résumé sounds quite flat. That same draft when it evolves with EQ V trs style statement treeble 10, 4 medium and 10 bass. Trsdu promise of this amp I thought a comparable Msa RectoVerb in fact not at all.

OVERALL OPINION

Well here I have tried everything to get the most out but there's really too much slack in the distortion of this amp. Since the factor cl RULING and why I changed the era stuff, I made quickly.

I think it may suit people who have not forcment need a big powerful sound distortion and clean as the rest Submitted frankly. The space is also functional top.

Combo all lamps, 60W, 3 channels Clean, Crunch, Lead with independent equa (Volume, Bass, Mid, Hi)
lamps: 4x12AX7/2xEL34
setting / effect: Bright on the clean channel, separate reverb control on clean channel and Crunch / Lead and Function "Edge" available on three channels. Service Edge is the exchange ratio of harmonics in the sound, actually boosts the sound and makes it thicker.
Footswitch included: the 3 channels Reverb + foot + Edge feature and in addition it is very beautiful!
The combo footswitch exudes as serious, aesthetically beautiful and sober (Brunette) marked on a sheet of brushed aluminum beautifully.
Custom speaker jensen
Small detail: provided with cover! also very successful and strong + sticker ... kind of little touches that make toujoursplaisirs

UTILIZATION

The setup is simple and effective, the equations are accurate and very effective! it changes the sound!
Regarding sound, I finally understand what an amp "music", all that comes out is beautiful! It "sounds" now!
The manual is very clear, detailed, full color with lots of recommendations and adjustments sugestion great starting point.

SOUNDS

My style is oriented Rock / Hard rock / Heavy (in goup) and Blues / Jazz (at least I try!) When I'm alone.
I play with a Gibson SG Standard, Les Paul Studio and Fender Telecaster
I have in my Marshall DSL for over a year and after six months I could not stand the sound of my desire to change and, having tried the ENGL Screamer and MESA RectoVerb vl'a me try with Brunetti in fact Notice of the test and Audiofanzine! (Like what's the point)
I headed in fact more to the Maranello at first but after trying the MC2 I changed my mind!
I really like this amp lacated really great, clean a sumptuous a crunch / overdrive full song! saturated fat slightly but still remains défini.Pas sound of spray anything!
The Edge is a killer feature in saturation ... hard to explain!
What is shocking is that musicality, the Screamer to a harder sound, absent of any musicality but more gain than the MC2. Ditto for the Rectoverb, more musical than the screamer but less than the MC2. I prefer by far the Clean's MC2 as the Mesa, which is already very good.
As for saturation ranges from AC / DC, Metallica 80/90, Ozzy era Z. Wylde, Godsmack, Alice in chains and with my Jackhammer pedal, Fulltone it teases the Korn without flinching. I tried it with the pedal Brunetti Overtone tube 2 and then we move into the high gain without concern .... miamiam!
Even at low volume it is still very strong, well now with my Tele sound is superb Blues / Jazz...j 'I put my amp to repeat, my little LC15R ..

OVERALL OPINION

I've had one week and I love that musical, it's versatility, this dynamic can make the Heavy / Hard as a group to see the Neo with the pedals and then taqiner the Blues at home! I say versatility!
This is not an amp rocker or metal or something or other, but rather the MC2 I typed sounds good and beautiful! it's rare enough to be stressed
Perhaps, for some, a lack of gain but it reacts very well with the pedals so no real points. Also the sound is more original than MESA and clean is to die for!

I bought it for 1550 euros in Pi-amp with the reduction Proco Excalibur Forum and cable available! (Thank you Dad Christmas) ... certe sum but on reflection it's an amp I can easily keep 20 years without worry in terms of investment so it is best quality / price I know.
I do it again much choice, and my next purchase will be the pedal Overtone 2

OVERALL OPINION

Everything is good in the brunetti mc2, I have chosen the option cabinet jensen, there are also versions celestion vintage 30 (probably a little more dedicated to hard). This amp gives you a very professional and is very easy in sound research that has been in his head, it is more beautiful in its simplicity and its finish is beautiful and very neat and does not suffer for CITIQUE moi.Et frankly at this price canon of about 1500 euros the distributor PI-AMP (www.pi-amp.com), I do not regret having abandoned my original idea was to buy a Mesa lonestar, because with the substantial savings made on the difference in price j ' I was able to set up an effects pedal réve.JE remake that choice without PROBLEM I play now for 26 years and music is my best investment to date .... Long live Italy, after all there are world champion of football (not soccer I like then your teeth grinding tape me ... soccer players) they have ferrari, the most beautiful city in the world: Florence, Valentino Rossi ... 46, then c is normal that produces "by hand" of great amps.
