good for the technical specifications, I think everybody pig .. 2 lamps dlivrant 4 (gnreux) watt basis, which may be a ramen or 1 / 4 watt through a attnuateur power. One volume, one tone and output for a speaker supplmentaire .. into 16 ohms.

For the appearance, not too bad Russia despite some dubious connections of the coating and a fist nasty plastic .. but hey, it's much nicer looking than valbee, for example ..

UTILIZATION

The configuration is actually trs simple, but even with three buttons, there are many possibilities and it takes time to find a hack or the guitar sounds that stick ..

Reading the manual donnejuste time to heat lamps, which is its main MRIT. (Well, I love lireles manuals, each with its flaws ..)

For audio, see below

SOUNDS

So I test the bbte with a few different guitars trs Retailer and before it all there are 2 key points noted:

First on the same "quarter-watt," spent half the volume is high rev, I mean for use in apartments, at night, or his half trying to sleep in the cot .. pice
Then it is indeed a attnuateur power, and therefore lost a lot of gloss, which can be offset with the vaguely tonal and especially dynamic

Basically, you get the best sound on 4 watts, but not without cruncher annoy everyone still in the apartment hypothse ..
on the other hand of 1 / 4 watt, it is reasonable to push the volume noon, which gives an overdrive dja enjoyable, but later, becomes a perilous ..

With this kind of amp, it is the opposite numriques simulators tend standardize the signal, whatever the guitar employe .. Here is the sometimes day and night between two high rise MODELS:

With a standard-stratocaster 1996: clean sounds great in 4-watt volume and tone to 1 / 4, less than a crystalline blues junior, but many characters and dynamics and especially the SETTING THE guitar influence standard. watts in a stroke volume and tone between 1 / 3 and 1 / 2, one is in a register blues a little dirty, the scope of mdiator is fundamental, and we can start attacking some stoniens riffs and even some pieces of 'hendrix .. Finally on 1 / 4 watt with volume and tone to 2 / 3 (made even when the noise), down a little tonal stratum, we approach the woman tone Cream, for example.;

-With a Les Paul Standard 1990, I am less convinced .. Sounds clear enough whatever, and not really enjoyable saturation, a little "boxy" ..

With a Danelectro U2-90s, is new patant; big grimey rhythms, excellent slide in a little saturated .. the lipsticks rpondent perfectly.

With my SG, 1971, new small dception .. the new sound seems a little Triqui ..

Finally, with a team of four galaxy Dipinto simple, the Panard! Surf Garage, and even rockabilly riffs punkodes, everything sounds!

In short, and I think the perfect voxest with single coils, but lacks some extent with the double ..

OVERALL OPINION

Any new acquisition (hier!) and about 8 hours of use, has given an ide but not an opinion .. DEFINITIONS

I tried piphone valve junior, not satisfied, the valbee, blah .. the marshall class trs 5 looks good but no way to find one ..

otherwise I possde a Blues Junior (Fender), beautiful but too powerful for domestic use full capacity, a marshall JCM 600 paradoxically exploitable low volume, a Fender Super Champ XD, nice one trs l., and a Brunetti Maranello, I was looking for a small amp that would allow me to operate the home's lights ..

A priori, it's done ... After a few weeks to confirm use.
