spouks « If practical, yet it sounds! »
Published on 06/21/11 at 05:50Everything has been said. 20W lamps said Class A (18 20W Class A or Class AB? Okay, who cares). 2 small lights EL84. A 12-inch bowl Koch Jensenienne very, very good also. 15 pounds small, a small footprint, a reverb, EQ common to both channels and a half (one clean with independent volume control, an overdrive with a volume and gain, and overdrive more, which adds gain to second channel at the touch switch on the right of the double footswitch included). Note that the OD + can be adjusted to three positions (Hi-Mid-Low) via a switch on the front. It accompanies another selector that can replace the footswitch when the latter is not connected.
Two modes exist EQ. A classic mode and another in which the treble knob acts a median frequency, allowing the sound of digging for something more modern. We choose the equalizer mode selection via two-position mid shift on the front. Besides, even a small three-position switch: bright. Position + give a more crystalline, close to Fender clean sound. Position - will be voxienne in mind. The middle position is neutral.
To finish the front (the worst part is that even overloaded), an input jack 6.35 and two switches (on / off and standby) and its lights.
Everything exudes quality in this facade.
At the rear, it becomes impressive. A small two-position switch allows you to cut off the signal to gun down the bowl without the beast that has a loadbox.
HP 3 inputs (4, 8, 16 Ohm) are available. Note that the manufacturer does not recommend to combine. In addition, a headphone that deserves to be there, and three line-level outputs: one is unfiltered, the second is used to transplant to the input of another guitar amp, and the third (Recording ) can be connected directly to a table, a recorder or sound card. For this event, you can choose a simulation of a four or HP, and orientation of the microphone. And it works very well, much better than most I've met online outlets. It is used in model and on stage without any problems.
Still used to report back to the amp, ie the input for the footswitch, effects loop series and the IEC plug for power (the power cord is also provided).
If there had been a dedicated equalizer, it was absolute perfection. But as the amp is the most comprehensive by far in its class and even above, I leave a 10 property deserved.
UTILIZATION
The manual is very clear about using the rear panel. Moreover, it provides examples of equalization that are good bases. Otherwise, it's an amp, it's very easy to use.
To get a good sound is not hard, just turn the beast.
I put 9 because qye seen anything is possible, sometimes a new owner will wonder why it does not sound while the switch muting the bowl is turned on, or stuff like that. That said it is both comprehensive and simple.
SOUNDS
I use it to play rock, pop, and sometimes I branch my acoustic guitar. Most often I use my Start over. But I also glue him from time to time my DeArmond M75. The clear sound is to die, regardless of the voicing chosen. As always with EL84, settings require more finesse with double compression forces. The lens can be very clear or darker, but it is very very clean. The OD channel has a small tendency to compress quickly, it is necessary to adjust the gain depending on the amount of play A high volume, the amp gives all its glory, and even appears to breathe + OD channel. That said, its natural compression offers the possibility to play the Queen of the Stone Age, which is good too.
The channel OD / OD + is a little for my taste right, but malleable. At first glance it seems to lack personality. But when we know better, we arrive at the results stunning.
The body is small, the amp lacks a bit of headroom, but it is the case with all 1X12 combos, this is not a weakness.
The reverb is very good, but lacks some transparency last half of the race. That said, the first half is usually sufficient, and a small delay can add air to it all.
Plus I try to amp the more I want to keep it. Not only because it is practical and playable anywhere, but because it still sounds the fire god. Of very very good stuff.
The effects loop is very good.
OVERALL OPINION
I for 2 years. In my short list of the time were several amps: AC15 and AC30 Vow (the first, single channel, was excluded from it, but that grain! The second not be moved without steroids), a petite brunette pretty good too, and Tiny Terror Orange Rocker 30 (too complicated in an apartment, but I still want one). I took Koch, a great compromise, and I do not regret one second. For the price is a bargain given the sound and functionality. The brand is still little known, to reenter the coast will never be great, but there are so few people who sell it's gotta be a reason!
