Small tube amp Zouli very reminiscent of 50s of the same name. I want to emphasize the aesthetics of the machine, even if it's not good to love something or someone because it's beautiful. But really, what Zouli Zouli amp!

One volume knob, two inputs, blablabla everything underneath. But I what I like is the switch on / off in large steel and the red lamp that lights up when he's on it. It Zouli.

UTILIZATION

Config, we can obviously not be simpler. The hardest part is that you have to wait a while before playing it hot. I jumps up and down like a kid at all times, but the advantage is that it gives you two minutes to ask you to relax before and itches. What a luxury in our time.

SOUNDS

I'm a little surprised to read advice on "sound" of this amp as if it were a Twin Reverb ten times more expensive. Back to earth: it costs 100 euros, used nine 140 euros is the price of a good pedal! It is also slightly more expensive or same price as a modeling amp all ugly and where there are tons of effects that not sound.

It sounds, this is requested.

Well, notice the sound all the same: with my Danelectro baritone, it complies with the grave, which was not easy given the small size of HP - is the lipstick to micro? Against by several guitars humbuckers that I tested, it is too tight in the bass and it's just "saturate" the HP and often causes noise in the case of the amp. One of the posters here believe that he has rediscovered his telecaster with, I think that's the kind of guitar with which you have to play on this amp. In addition, imagine a Danelectro Silvertone with spring reverb Danelectro going well connected to this amp ... too vintage, your sound.

My only regret is that it is too powerful. Sound, spent half or three quarters of the volume is too loud for use in apartments. the crunch of the lamps, although we do take advantage when we play too loud for the neighbors, that's a shame. You can always add a digital effect or a multi overdrive for the saturation of the best of both worlds, says.

The noise I was talking about, precisely, are often the sound parts of the amp, like the cache lamps, and are fairly easy to identify and correct with the fingers and a screwdriver. Just be allowed to blunder out capacitors, before, or you'll look like Wile E. Coyote at the end of an episode of bipbip.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 15 days and I play it every day, since I use it in its "real" function of practice amp. I tried every tube amp low power (except for the Vox, which was not released yet) some time ago when I was looking for an amp to have a big fat sound. And I fell in love this amp for clean sounds simple on microphones and plastic advantageous.

In the living room with Dano put on a nice stand next to it, it's almost design and it's not even moan madame! (Home, not even imagine trying to do the same with your POV 'Microcube and your POV' strato jim harley)

Well, worry not have one? What you waiting for?

A small edit of August 30, 2009: I plugged my Jazz Bass on this amp a little in disbelief and surprise, surprise: it sounds! It's low "medium" but it's so fuzzy crunch at the least attack a little irritated at high volume, not blow it, excellent!!

Have still not a worry??

A small edit of December 31, 2009: I plugged my epiphone baritone above and this is the best baritone sound I ever heard out of a small amp no effect! No doubt the smallness of the HP gum the somewhat muddy sound of humbuckers and what fate has to sustain three hours (that's the guitar) and a sound so rich and full one would think that there is a reverb to ... Nope.

Good, but really, why do you not have one?? Frankly, what, 100 euros is the price of a multi-effect crap!!

And now I've had five months. We will marry in January <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" />
