UTILIZATION

The configuration is it simple?
Yes to a Mesa amp Böögg

The manual is clear and sufficient?
Unfortunately it is in English but hey three amps in a not too need the manual because buttons speak for themselves

Do you get a good sound easy?
So then you plug it sounds live !!!!! it's very high-end !!!!!!!

SOUNDS

Right for your style of music?
I play in three teams with three different style from jazz to fusion to metal to blues and it goes perfectly with all the style is the most versatile amp I had.

What kind of sound you get
it's going to clear the crystal clear soup for channel 1. Of rock crunch to overdrive typed 70 for channel 2 and has a soft distortion santana the largest type disto por mettallica Channel 3

With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play?
I play with a Gibson Les Paul Push Tone and Epiphone Night Hawk on which I set up an SH13 and SH1 Hot rail, a whawha satriani and I turned all other effects not have seen the purity of her! !

What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
I love everything about this amp is nothing to throw away!!

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
I know one day it might tell me but I spent 10 hours in the day to grind in every way!!

What is so special that you like most and least?
what I like most is it true versatility. What I like less weight and price (well above my banker <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="wink" /> )

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
I aissayé lot of amp in my music career but this is top notch. I had to marshall combo and I was head of the lamp or the big fender line 6 I tested a diesel in mind also very good but not below 50W switshable I tried Alchimist home Bogner the head can also disappointed.
How would you rate the quality / price?
Ben is the mesa when you love what you do not count is not it. No serious when j'ia heard that the Mark V came out I was expecting something on the order of 5000 or 6000 Euros 3000 euro is reasonable when one sees and hears the beast ...
With experience, you do again this choice?
Again!!
