UTILIZATION

Configuration ultra simple.je Laboga think Adam went with just.
No frills, but the lamps of "Hand Made".
No manual with the amp, but a PDF version can be downloaded from the site Laboga. (English & Polish only) also for what?
Sound: For those looking for a tube amp versatile and compact, this is exactly what faut.Pas clumsy to hang out.
Settings, are simple but very perceptibles.ça efficaces.les shades and if you add effects behind ... so there! Pretty good for a little beast.
The Celestion Seventy 80 is also there to!
Metal, Hard Rock, Rock, Blues, is made for ça.Et he gives!
In addition, you can play at home ... that you ask for?
Note that at 15 watts, it starts to tease the glazing ... without being thoroughly!

SOUNDS

Will it fit your style of music?: Yes! Blues, Rock, Hard Rock. rather barred ACDC, Gary Moore, Eric Clapton, Aerosmith, ZZ Top (to give a preference).
So yes, it suits me.
I get a bit of everything. (I like the sounds very fat, hearty, which riffent strong) in géné<span class="skimwords-unlinked">ral.Très</span> "Marshallian".
I mainly play my Gibson SG 61 Reissue with an Angus Young signature bridge.
And "rough around the edges" the Laboga the Beast gave me the already naturally.
Then I refine by adding effects pedals and I always get what I like.
In His Light, I added a Boss chorus and reverb Marshall.
Setting the "Character" is really well done as an EQ. Slap it well! With a "Strat" ​​or "TV" it must be even better for clean sounds.
It does not sound that I dislike. Except those that come out when I do a "bread" ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have since April 2012.
I also have a 60 amp of "all Italian lamps (curtain for now ...)
and it necessarily has justified the purchase of a combo amp to find a good sound lamps (the practice combo ...) and Laboga the beast appeared to me as a good compromise for playing at home and able to transplant in a PA (XLR behind the beast) which allows to consider other possibilities and larger scales.
For now, objectively, I explore the possibilities yet but for now I'm not déçu.Si I had to make that choice? yes! A "Hand Made" all lamps with a bowl of Celestion 12 "... we take too much risk at this price ... especially because the sound is to go! 30 watts version may be after?. hummmm .. ...? Not for the house anyway! Must know what you want ...
