UTILIZATION
The configuration could not be simpler: you plug the guitar (a Heritage H150 for my part) and we listen play.
If its easy to get a good means to turn any knob in any direction while keeping a splendid, then yes you get a good sound easily.
Be careful though the volume knob: it is not very progressive and 3 were already very big sound.
The manual is like a guarantee because it does not need anything else.
SOUNDS
It is perfect for my style of music that is not determined a mixture of jazz, funk, pop, hip hop, song ...
Obtained with this amp sounds typical ... fenderriens (surprising, right?), that is the beauty of the stamp stamped Fender: clear, crystalline but terribly warm, velvety, sweet reminding our ears the sounds that have forged (for example, Motown). I think this amp fits perfectly with my heritage (neither more nor less than the equivalent of a Les Paul Standard), offsetting the fat side and drooling microphones by the clear and bright lights.
Note that by buying this amp, you'll save buying two pedals: Reverb (frankly superb) and Tremolo (simple and effective).
on the other hand for saturation, it does not drive channel, so we must add it a overdrive / distortion cash it very well: I played with a Maxon OD808 and my faith, that sent warm wood.
Last point: if you are afraid that 22 Watts are not enough to rehearse with a drummer for example, well do not be afraid ...
OVERALL OPINION
While I do not use that for two weeks, but actually I needed just 30 seconds to make my choice. I was looking primarily for an amp with a good clear sound. I tried a lot of amps (Bogner Alchemist, H & Kettner, Fender Hot Rod, Vox AC15 Heritage) and playing on this one I did not hesitate: it was clear that the sound I wanted. This does not diminish the quality of some amps I mentioned: the Vox AC15 is monumental for example overdrive.
Honestly, for 1100 euros, the price / quality ratio is interesting, even if it is not given 1100 euros. But frankly, a decade ago, have such an amp for 7000 francs was unimaginable.
