«  FOR STUDIOS IN GALLERY »

Published on 04/09/11 at 15:51
solid, reliable, complete, compact, efficient, heavy.
Mine is in EL 34, with a black shadow, I do not know the record with HP original.

UTILIZATION

The configuration of this amp is simple but quite reactive (especially the graphic equalizer), fasting it will ...
It takes a little time to go anywhere, directly because the grain is very present and typed.

SOUNDS

We can do many things with it.
A weakness in the crunch, overdrive, which are too acidic for my taste, but a rat is connected to rake it in very broad and not modeling the sauce, although the overall sound is modern.
I bought it after trying three-quarter hours, not to sculpt the sound that suits me with, but to split hairs, the trap ... Y HAS NOT.
I have clear sounds really slamming way twin or Vibrolux (with more bass please!) And large distos even live with a varied palette quickly, using just a switch in the graphic equalizer on the bright or saturated . With a good distortion is connected to four different sound quality, all without speaking chorus flanger and everything else that digests this amp in the loop as a verbena is digested by the fire.
A cry baby no longer has anything to do with this amp on the hi gain, trying vraiment.Sinon on the same channel all the agreements are rich in harmonics, well defined and posted same temps.Ca slap!
The knob attendance is also very effective and the reverb a bit boring to settle in clean but pretty disgusting and quickly with the distortion kind murky tunnel.


OVERALL OPINION

I spend two or three hours on it every day for four months and what pisses me off is that I get used to having a sound that tabasse.Je become a bourgeois asshole hard.
I played on a lot of stuff and I decided to post this blurb to say that it was a special amp sound not at all guitarists, BUT:
This is the amp have to do everything properly in the studio.
Considering the price and the potential that it develops I strongly advice to all those who find that their records still sound like, and who can not afford to equip themselves with several high-end amp.
This amp plus a good Hp (if the original is bad?) Than it cost 700 euros if there is no good OCCAZ, and you're cushy for fifteen years.
I was really counting on it to fall here in the studio before then know to have it.
