NicolasD « Fail! (And shame) »
Published on 10/15/09 at 04:53I put my opinion on days this amp and will bleed.
It is therefore an all-tube amp, a kind of Twin "deluxe" (with many useful little accessories like the tilt back legs, the cover and rollers) but with a fairly modern saturated channel.
Fender says that even if it is a true twin, the building is significantly diffrent (I'll let you search the forums).
There is an EQ and volume for each channel, a button to add bright treble the clean channel, a gain SETTING THE saturated for a tremolo with speed and intensity and reverb (hell, j 'it back later), and finally a still for the knob prsence.
It is a true 100 watts that can switch in 25, but whatever happens, for a combo, and even at 1 / 4 of its power, it is trs (too) hard.
I like the Fender Aesthetics, probably because it refers to a long history of music amricaine.
UTILIZATION
This amp has won the sweet nickname EVIL TWIN. Vendors say it is for its weight (40kg, o casters) or volume but it is not.
It's actually because the SERIES is dfectueuse. (Edit 01/01/2011, trs Nomesiaa is rightly pointed out that it is saturated to its channel. C'tait can be true at beginners but today it is more mocking nickname, especially from users amricains, see the forums).
A few weeks after having bought it (two years ago), I had the problem of fuses blowing, blast of reverb, and "plop" the activation thereof.
I returned the amp Repair Tool several times and even if the store and rparateurs AGRS Fender taient agreements on default observations, they never really done nothing to rgler.
Sometimes I get the amp in the same state that I had sent but 10 months APRS (more the fault of the store or rparateurs that the SAV is very Fender s nice and ractif).
Contacts softphone, the rparateurs me that they were unaware of the problem and had o had no time to find the causes.
They kick for touch and the store I replaced the amp twice.
So I had three hands Twinamps new and each time the same concerns.
The cake came back to the last sent by Fender amp directly without going through the store.
I plug it ... Same breath, even plop, worse, the footswitch is reversed channel change active effects loop, reverb tremolo active and vice versa.
Surprised, I unplug the footswitch and I get a hum with permanent cutting tremolo that does that if I reconnect the footswitch.
As I hear a little more "cling" to the amp ds I play some high notes, j'teins the amp and I will remove the wheels that taient still in their package of int Interior of the twin.
I try to turn the amp ... and nothing, dead.
I laughed a lot.
We easily obtain a good sound? When he walks so as not working but hardly ever ...
SOUNDS
It's a shame. The few times he walked (in both gnral Premire nine weeks for an amp), the top Tait clear sound: full of chest with powerful bass, deep, brilliant if was necessary and a really wide sound distribution.
Trs effects sounded good and knobs legalization of all taient trs effective.
It does not saturate, even 10 (I tried once but this amp is overkill and I do not think anyone ever used it 10).
A real clean sound that goes from jazz to blues through pop etc ... That, I think, a clear sounds the most enjoyable I have heard on an amp.
The canal is really saturated spcial. Too much chemical to me, too artificial. There are some who like a. Yes, it is widely usable because it is well and that Dfine Live trs is enjoyable not to feel embedded in the middle of the rest but it's not my thing. For me it lacks a small reserve of gain and should sound more natural as I am a big fan of Marshall then saturated forcment ...
I might be done better to buy a 65 Twin and he added the pedals of my choice.
OVERALL OPINION
The price fell Twin Amp 400 euros, I think that's the word EVIL ranon (edit 01/01/2011: It was then reassembled and they still sell, I of misunderstanding).
I comparison tools: I have a Mesa Boogie 2:90 + Triaxis, a Marshall JVM 410H, an Egnater Rebel 20 and an old Peavey Bandit 112.
Other amps, despite their quality, do not support the comparison against the Twinamp its clear.
However, the distorted sounds, it is he who picks (except may be the bandit 112, compared to transistors, and again, it's about got).
I like the Fender clean sound. Really. So I wanted the original, the legends.
Unless The series of 65 twin or Super reverb works really well with the experience, I will take a plutt Rivera (01/01/2011 edit: changed to a Bogner Alchemist, see my opinion)
