Best value:
Excellent
It is a 5 Watt combo amp all tube Ibanez. Best selling brand in terms of amps.
Easy connection, one input, a headphone output and an effects loop is nice.
Regarding power, it is ideal for playing at home or even with friends. It 5W title but do not forget that it is the lamp, and it can send severe.
We find a knob for Gain, Bass, Middle, Treeble (active equalization, detail is important), a presence, a volume knob and a boost in its drive to move or saturated.
There is a standby power and very helpful too.
Everything you need, no more, no less, to properly erupt.
UTILIZATION
The configuration is very simple once you understood that equalization is active ... Ie it attenuates frequencies if it is below half and increases when it is over. It is also very nice in some registries.
I have not had a manual since I bought it used. But I do not think it is really necessary.
Personally, I immediately found the sound I wanted.
SOUNDS
The sounds are actually quite rich and varied. I find that these are generally very low on the amp, which forces me to correct by increasing the treble for very little bass.
I really plays everything on this amp, it goes from jazz to metal funk and blues ... The amp respects the personality of the guitar and you can have sounds and slamming cleans very bright (on my strat) as defined in very incisive and saturated (lag arkane).
The gain is significant and can have a sound "overdrive" the tube screamer when placed at noon or larger distortion very typical Hi Gain when put in background.
I just put a little damper on the speaker ... amp deserved a 12 "rather than 8" but it would have changed its format is very handy.
OVERALL OPINION
I use this amp for over two years and am fully satisfied. Before buying used I could try other model like the blackheart BH5 and vox Night-train. The blackheart was not versatile enough and vox too expensive for what it was.
I judge the quality / price excellent (especially OCCAZ) and I would do this choice without hesitation.
If you come across a good occaz, you need an amp room or apartment efficient, it's time to go!
