«  I can not do without this amp »

Published on 10/14/10 at 03:26
Best value: Excellent
The characteristics are higher, I'm not going to go all a. and more, which is characteristic that cram a bit:)
Anyway, this little big 20w is surprising. It brings the freshness of sounds as clear and powerful distortion.
we just play in either or group, no worries, it presents.
I did not put 10 because it lacks a master volume I got. I have a volume pedal that I plug in the effects loop is perfect.
I love the vintage look

UTILIZATION

I can not find the configuration bit easier. Is lit, it heats up, we play. It is also for its simplicity I have chosen:) 3-band equalizer which responds very well.

For the manual, frankly not needed. It's really the combination amp / guitar perfect without making head. I played with no effects for 1 year, and frankly, I rgaler ...

the sound is surprisingly clear, I would say a marvel, warm and crystalline. The Twang small button is perfect to make the sound more warm.
ditto for the drive, no unpleasant surprises, the receiver sought not very well and very quickly what we pleased. No need to spend 2 hours looking for THE sound appropriate. We plug, you play ...

SOUNDS

I played with a combination Pod XT Live and power engine 60, and what I wanted, c'tait an amp that can give me sound out vintage and modern without these buttons rglages to find the right note.
The HK is perfect for my ears, that's really what I wanted.
Can I get his jazz, funk, blues, crunch, rock. For the metal, it lacks a bit of power, but it gets very heavy when the Rock even with good rglages.

I play a Gibson LP studio, a series spcial Cort GVT (micro lace sensor) and a Samick Rose JTR RS10. In effect, I have a volume pedal Ernie Ball Junior Delay Vox Satriani Satriani Satchurator Vox, Cry Baby Wha, Boss FZ5 Fuzz and

With the LP: a good config for me is the clear sound of the amp and drive, period. 100% efficiency. The fuzz too.
With Cort: Clear sound, Fuzz, saturation
With the JTR: Clear sound, fuzz, delay
Of course, I use and test any type of config for each guitar is more preferences of the moment:)

OVERALL OPINION

This is 1 year I use the amp and it was a year and a half as I wanted.
What I like most is its simplicity and versatility Audible (vintage and modern)
I think it's excellent value / quality prices
I would do the purchase of this amp no problem. I would like other amps, of course, but I would keep this amp, I think it goes very well with my style of play I would take other more typ amp for a choice of music more focused . I'd go see spares when other worlds)
