Value For Money :
Excellent
5 watt tube amp class A
Digital Reverb
Controls: Gain, volume, tone, reverb.
Attenuators: 5W / 1W / 0,1 W
Headphone
Speaker Output 4 ohms
HP 8-inch
Chinese manufacturing. Clean finish.
UTILIZATION
Super easy to use.
The manual is there just to remind us not to burn out our precious fingers touching the hot lamps ...
Like its big brother the V22, we can find the right sound.
In his clear, no effect behind, you may find it a bit too dry, too slammed. Some will conclude that we must change the HP. I advise them before, try turning the volume pot tone in position 2 or 3.
It is really effective, as the authors also said earlier opinions, and depending on the style of music we play, the presence or absence of effects, do not hesitate to ask. In short, let it stuck at noon is the error to avoid.
The attenuator, which can go from 5 watts to 1 or 0.1: Power play on a tube amp, with the grain chosen, without ear-splitting nor those of his dear neighbors, there is no so long ago, we dreamed. On this amp is a reality.
SOUNDS
I mainly play rock ('70 and '60 + times).
When I play in band, my Bugera V22 or my Peavey Classic 30 are fine.
on the other hand, when I play alone or in pairs, in small structures (bars, pubs, restaurants, etc..), They are excessive: too powerful, too heavy, too bulky. Instead, the Roland Cube Street I use (input voice, a guitar input) often shows insufficient power for the guitar part. I needed a small amp quality to support it.
I bought it used, almost without trying, already knowing the qualities of the V22, and being unable to form an opinion on anything unfortunate in 5 or 10 minutes.
So my house that I tested, with all my guitars: TV's, Strats, SG, Godin, AZ ... And it's simple: He has transcended all, enchanted. They began to play tricks they did not know!
Well, okay, but with the pedals, how would he react?
Without further ado, my Digitech RP500 j'intercalai between the amp and guitar.
And there it was simply divine.
I was afraid of interference, incompatibilities: Nothing. Everywhere, only better.
Clear sounds to big distos, all simulations, all effects are observed, and simultaneously enhanced, wrapped, bewitched by the heat lamps.
The reverb is excellent. Very gentle, very subtle.
I took the opportunity to try it also with analog pedals, although for reasons of convenience I do not use them often: Result impeccable as well.
Passed these tests at home, he still had to face the decisive tests of the repeats and the concert. I confess that at this stage I was pretty confident there was no reason. And my confidence was not disappointed. Power and quality were good at the rendezvous. End result: 10/10, with the congratulations of the jury know that some may have a sharp tongue ...
OVERALL OPINION
This amp is not just good "for the price." He is good at all.
It is a marvel. A great, great, great little amp.
In 10 years, in 15 years, we tear the occasion.
