« Ideal for the flat »

Published on 07/23/12 at 01:51
10 watt lamps
The special feature is to use 6V6 (Fender) instead of the usual EL84 (Vox. ..)
Hi and LO inputs two three-button (tone, volume, gain) and a 8-16 ohm speaker output ... that&#39;s it
In fact it is probably "Poor" for an amp general, but "perfect" amp for a flat (no brainer and separate gain that can vary the sound)

UTILIZATION

To clarify the concept, I&#39;m the guitarist in the cartoon room, no beef, no concert, I play only one home. I live and I have no apartment neighbors.
I use Amplitube on my Mac, it works fine but it lacks guts. While I play my other half can not messing around with her friends on FaceBook, and then type riffs hooked to an M-Audio FastTrack&#39;s the way it anyway (what rock and roll shit!)
Amp so, but not transistor (modeling or not) because I side modeling everything you need on my Mac (including game headphone), it&#39;s that I want tripe.
Amp tubes and therefore please.
Usually when someone in my case poses the classic question "What is like a tube amp used in the apartment? "Is how can He replied that he must not buy a transistor etc. ...

Vox seems to have been the first to say that baby boomers (I am) played the guitar in their youth and now they are Quincas, will come back and that therefore there is a real business to come in small amps tube, and Lil Night Train to the last (and super cute) AC4C1, the Britto-Japanese chinoiserie multiply nice.
But I have a little trouble with his Vox. It&#39;s great for the crunch, but the tangy side of Vox bother me a bit in the clear.
There Fender, who has not really yet taken the measure of the trick and is satisfied with her Champion 600, very well indeed cute and all but one button. One button, it means that a given noise level, it has only one sound, and in this apartment, it&#39;s still average.

And then I came across a secondhand gold, given a quasi CUB10 Laney, and almost new.
Given the price, I buy by telling me that I was not taking a big risk, and at once the sky cleared, the air has become cleaner (not the cheapest beer unfortunately) .. brief revelation.
The CUB10 is an amp like Fender used in the apartment and with the possibility of a little cruncher (basically this is what would be the Champion 600 Fender if marketteurs were smarter)
Fender yes because it sounds like a Fender (which is related to lamps that uses 6V6) but unlike the Champion 600 has three buttons. Tone has a little effect, a gain that much and has a volume.

Basically with everyone at noon (say the volume of 4) can égrainer arpeggios and jazzy blues with a light clean to fur without triggering a civil war.
You turn the gain knob on 10 and restores the volume to 2 and then it gently crunchouille always with a volume of apartment on foot. To some riffs in his living room is really credible

Right side of the scale is not a wall of Marshall red-hot, the HP is very small (10 inches) and average breath away (but it is precisely its low yield that can make cool stuff at home)
There is also a speaker output for more serious uses.

The finish is clean but it is a chinoiserie, it is clear that this is not for the castagne (but it&#39;s not in my room brawls) Mine has LED Start weakling (this is why I &#39;lai paid cheap) and consulting els forums is a disease very Laney. The corners are plastic etc etc. ..
In short it&#39;s very pretty cheap all over, but the cheap anyway, but given the price ... eh

What does no harm is very small and has a nice face.




SOUNDS

I use it with an Epiphone Elitist ES335
The sound is very Fender, a bit less fat than a Champ 12 (my previous reference)
We can get clean sounds very well and pushing the grain, even apart from this volume nicely crunch

OVERALL OPINION

Buying secondhand is very recent.

Previously I had (I always sell it to) an old Fender Champ 12, but as the Champion 600 he has only spent a single volume and the walls tremble. Too bad because its clear sound qiue fat is great. Drawback, it is impossible to do cruncher (except to be ready to get kicked in hours).


A rating below says "this is not a Blues Junior" .. this is true and this is fortunate, in a Blues Junior apartment .. how to say ... it takes off the wallpaper, not CUB10.

If it all over again? well if it all over again I would do without hesitation all that saw its price secondhand one can pay for a CUB10 sounds more Fenderien AC4 for a more acidic stuff and all for little brouzoufs .. it is not life grand?
