«  a great amp »

Published on 12/15/13 at 23:53
Best value: Excellent
50 W amp, 100% tube, 2 channels (light and overdrive) + boost, equalization settings comprehensive

effects loop send-return dimmable!

See manufacturer's website for more info:

UTILIZATION

Configuration rather simple. This is an amp, not a spaceship!
The settings are very comprehensive and it is possible to refine really sounds

SOUNDS

This amp is very versatile. It allows you to gradually move very clean sounds (soft or incisive as EQ) to big fat distortion through the crunch you control very well and it behaves very well with all my guitars.

It should in my opinion for all kinds of music - possibly supplemented by good pedals.

OVERALL OPINION

Use for 2 years

The +:
- Beautiful production, it seems tough
- Excellent finishes, understated aesthetics ("Made in Germany"!)
- Adjustable effects loop, multiple settings and effective
- Versatility, suitable for many genres
- Powerful!
- Sound quality and respect for the "personality" of the guitar plugged
- Escalation settings
- Pedal very full and beefy provided
- No background noise, no hum (quality lamps)
- Made in Germany
- Reacts well with pedals
- Satisfactory low volume (for a 50W ...)

The -:
- High volume, bass a little lacking safe (50 W with a single 12 "...)
- Sounds beautiful, but a little amp "boilerplate" no real own personality as may be Orange, Fender, Marshall, etc ... This can also be an asset
- I do not like the sound of the reverb that (like most spring reverb sound effect is a ping-pong ball on percussive sounds). But it is a matter of personal taste.

Very good quality / price ratio. I do not regret this purchase I'd be willing to re-
