Class AB tube amp with an output of 40W
- Preamp: 3x 12AX7WA
- Electric power: 2x 5881
- Celestion Vintage 30 speaker
2 channels + boost on boosted channel:
- Canal including clean volume, treble, mid and bass
- Canal crunch / lead including volume, treble, mid, bass, gain
Adjusting the presence and reverb (Accutronics) independent of the channel
UTILIZATION
Configuration of the simplest, one branch, open ears and adjusted.
SOUNDS
My config: Duesenberg Starplayer TV-> Wha boss pw10-> tuner-pourri> marshall Bluesbreaker-> Ibanez TS808-> EH Nano Small Stone Phaser-> Line6 DL4-> amp.
With my band, I play rather large rock spot, more aggressive than RATM but less than the metal.
The power of 40W is amply sufficient to cover a lumberjack and drummer can play in a small room, which will be more difficult with a stack of 100W. For large scenes, the moment we are back in front, it is also OK.
- The sound of the clean channel is smooth and hot, I feel like playing on cotton with micro single in the neck position of the Duesenberg is a real treat.
- The channel distortion can get sounds ranging from bluesy crunch smooth (the way) to its saturated fat metal type using the microphone twice the scratching in the bridge position.
A small concerns, the (only) speaker tends to saturate the heavy attacks with a high gain and low bcp, so I am thinking of buying the optional HP box that goes with the amp.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for three months and it is what I wanted.
At first I wondered if he would be powerful enough, because the sound more to me right away and I'm not disappointed.
Likes:
- Its sound, clean or saturation
- The price (I got nine to 650 Euros)
- Weight, size
- His mouth, it's really a beautiful object
- The fact that it is a little known brand
I do not like:
- The fact that high volume and high gain saturates the HP sometimes (I play with earplugs in this volume)
I have tried other amps: Fender Twin, Marshall 18W, koch Studiotone, krank, bulksonica ... and in this price range, I have not found any amp that was the weight.
If I were the hay, I bought one. In any case I will buy the optional subwoofer.
