goertz « great but »
Published on 03/30/12 at 07:14amp fairly complete. Only lacks a headphone jack. You can get around Pb using the red box and a table / pc / stereo with a headphone jack.
Also lacks the pedal
super good points:
light weight: less than 10Kg
the power selector
self bias
UTILIZATION
brief manual config simple but sufficient. The sound is good right now
I use it with a BOSS GT6 multi-effects and there it is spoiled a bit. Let me explain:
I use mode 4 son by putting the amp's preamp in the loop of GT6. If I turn off the effects loop on the GT6 (the sound of the guitar and password in the multi-effects directly into the amp bypassing the preamp), the volume changes when I change the channel on the preamp (light / full) . In summary the fact to change channels on the preamp CHANGE the amplifier gain. This is quite confusing and it prevents certain combinations preamp with amp simulations on the GT6. From my notes or
SOUNDS
The clean sound is warm, crystalline and very lively.
I find the sound a little veiled saturated. It is true that for now, I have used in my main mode 1W.
I would have preferred to adjust the boost level, even having only a volume knob for the clean channel. I find the boost a little too violent.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 3 months and I also own a Koch Studiotone
Well, I have perhaps not had any luck but it broke down a few days after purchase. Contrary to what was said in another opinion, this amp is made in China.
Second bad surprise, change lamps: I bring my amp to the store and the system indicates that a lamp is AutoBias fucking (actually it was more serious, one of the electronic component was dead). The store wants me to change it immediately and try to open the beast. Nothing is mentioned in the instructions. We realize that in addition to screws, GLUE is the plexiglass with double sided tape (perhaps to avoid vibrations). It means that once you open the amp a time, this tape is ineffective.
For me it is definitely not a professional editing.
Compared to my Studiotone Koch, the clear sound of HK is a little more beautiful, more fat, less saturated than on the clean Koch. Koch is the most complete (3 levels of boost, bright 3-position) but has no power attenuator. It is heavier but also inspires much confidence.
In conclusion, this is a great amp Tubemeister to keep him at home but I do not advise for professional use or for use with a son four multi-effects.
I keep my Studiotone for rehearsals and concerts and I use the Tubemeister at home and go for the beef
