«  super clean sound and saturated! »

Published on 06/22/14 at 07:50
this is a combo 18 watts lamps all made in germany.
the dashboard; instrument input, gain and master for the clean channel, a channel selection button and another to boost the lead channel (pass a sound rather rock high gain), gain and master for the lead channel, EQ bass middle and treble, switch 2 positions stand-by power and another.

UTILIZATION

it's a bit messy-searched, but in the end, I'm doing quickly!
manual is for those who want épplucher .... not for me!
the sound is good; see below!

SOUNDS

then, for the sound, I found that the trend of this amp and it delivers a very precise surgical see clean sound, and remains "pretty".
saturated part is also excellent; sound basic drive is to rock everything he simpler, and cons when it starts the "lead boost" button there, is there a nuclear explosion!
one enters the field of high-gain EVH 5150 style! and the comparison is justified because this day, in Room amps the music box to valence, there was a 5150 EVH and I also made the test bench!

OVERALL OPINION

I tried it on Saturday and I really thought this combo was perfect for the studio because it has a relatively clean and very well crafted sound and saturation from rock to metal high-gain!
and while remaining clean copy!
I really find that the price seems justified to me (560 € at the music box) because it is a rather heavy amp and not issuing a specific sound.
ultimately a reliable amp!
