«  test of the beast »

Published on 05/01/11 at 02:58
60 W lamps, ideal power except for the day you play in a stadium (lol)

try to repeat with a 4 * 12 Brand

UTILIZATION

no manual but not required: 5 minutes of concentration sufficient

SOUNDS

tried some experiments with my band on the pop rock and some hard rock to try on a quick blues "trigger"
one feels that the head is made to rock! in blues is good but without more
rate "Bristish" present but more enjoyable than a vintage modern ..... (Lol) as the grain of the overdrive of the amp as the natural compression of the latter

the gain of channel 1 goes a little faster in the crunch crunch ... very see, I love the race that it is softer (a 4 / 5 AC crunch strong ....) (try with strat 64 Single Coil and semi fitted humbucker type 335) from where the little 9 ....

OVERALL OPINION

great amps, just a lot of bass EQ rate but for a bass amp manufacturer .....
the baffle is also important I think (I will test baffle with another head)

reverb a bit long but not excessive
effects: no use, I think a little gadget
2 volumes: FINALLY! Simply top
Having meter: pretty but useful?
EQ: the lower limit has but one feels that any action on a knob changes the color so very versatile as it recalls the mesa amp ... more "British"

to see if a change in the 1 st light preamp with a more crystalline bring more amplitude to the gain of channel 1 (original lamp so ... Chinese and not top quality ...)

in short: if I had to get me this would be the amp for the speaker I'm a fan of the "orange" and I could not test the 4 * 12 ^ t with another you so I'm not above objective I would do an edit in the weeks to come.
