vick75 « Good vintage amp »
Published on 11/12/14 at 16:55Tube amp, single channel, master volume bass treble and reverb medium I think. Includes reverb, 15w power which is huge for an apartment! Do not expect the cruncher in your attic room in Paris unless your neighbors are deaf. So we can say that it is not at all versatile.
UTILIZATION
Setup is simple, the manual is not used much. A self try and adjust to taste. I will say that there is no good setting. Good sound is not as easy to find what I've read since force to use one becomes more accurate.
To cruncher and maybe more I use a TS9. Without this it is frustrating to have apartment because we can not saturate.
SOUNDS
I fought to get it and I finally got a display model. Despite this, I think the speaker was not quite smoothly. Now I find her beautiful, very clear and precise.
However it is susceptible to the attack which is an advantage when you have a good level and it is well known to nuances in his game but becomes a disadvantage when there is a lack of precision with his right hand. A compressor solve this "problem".
The reverb is very mediocre in my opinion. Beyond 4/12 you lose a lot of accuracy and it somehow seems to saturate. A kind of slam is sometimes hard to hear when you attack. From what I've read, change with a Ruby reverb.
Also emphasize versatility 0. We must plan in my opinion at least a distortion pedal.
On to the fender clean, the sound is pretty hot on this model, although this low. By saturating you can easily reach a fatter sound. This amp is very powerful, and I find it a bit flat below a certain volume (master and 2 in volume). From 3 of the sound will round. Knowing that I play on a single strat pickups, check the minimum volume with dual microphones. I think it can be a hindrance in apartment
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for two years and I think it is important to adjust the power because of its sound can parraitre aggressive. I once had a bugera V5 and it is not clear plays in the same category. Beyond from 5 to 15w, the sound is much more accurate and very nice.
I had a heart stroke seeing this model and I found it warmer and rounder than the blues junior base.
I regret that there is no headphone jack for the rest I knew what to expect: a vintage amp, versatile but not very tolerant pedals with a clean fender!
€ 600 I find it expensive but still fun is waiting for you. The build quality seems good and there are no cosmetic defect. I appreciate the plate "limited edition".
