USE

What config? everything is said.
For me the sound is clean, clear (low volume) vintage.
The manual is in English, but not need a manual to use this amp.

SONORITS

Style: I play some funk, boogies, the notes notes of arpges, rhythmic. I am beginner, I was playing the acoustic front.
For now, I play without effects. To play funk, I find the sound very well. It gives a clear sound very honest. it is less bright than the amp on which I work in progress (guitar), which is perhaps a bit too bright ... but it is very correct. We must be able to crunch by mounting the volume, but I work at home, in an apartment, and I have no desire to fight with the entire building. I play with the knob 2 with Les paul and 3 with tl! and enough for me! I can ride more, but I also mnage my eardrums.
It restores very well the peculiarities "sonic" of each guitar. Tl is snapping, crystalline (US standard) and Lespaul is round, it tends cruncher easily (about 5/6 vol.) If I turn up the volume (Traditionnal: Classic 57)
I'll offer me a distortion soon ...
07/06/09 after various tests, I opt for a pedal Tech 21 series "Charactres" California. She brings this amp: more presence, ddinition better, more dynamic and a brighter sound. It also acts as a Pramp. with a 3-band equalizer, which lacked the amp. The Calif. branch is above all the time.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for a month. I plug in a 2 x 12 Vertical (NOS - Thank Grard) gave me a very dfini sound and presence, despite the low volume. I have the amp cot me on a small piece of furniture, with volume hand door and connects to the cabinet with a speaker cable with 4.00 long, for the cabinet 3.00 m of me behind. This config. is (for me) Idale to work at home without cum discord in the building (follow the other if you want us to respect you), while having its correct trs. I chose this amp because c'tait the least powerful (on paper ...) available in class A, lamps, so with a sound quality of dynamics.
The report qualitprix unbeatable and, for my use, and in addition it is alone in its class!
Today, I have no other option in this CATEGORY (lamps)
Today missing amps "salon". Full of people just play at home in the apartment, this is the product they need, it is the only existing, in series,: All Tube Class A! And pdalles, we can add a lot of things.

Everything has been said about the data sheet!
We do not spend hours on set, the ears are happy!

UTILIZATION

The manual is only useful to know how to connect the HP!

SOUNDS

I used a little without modification. So I quickly tried modif on poundcake acute. The bass is more clear, it is less messy, but I do not know if it is because of the sharp decrease a little sailing (I have not noticed by against acute change).
I did not bother to do the mod for more clear sound or a little less saturated. The clean sounds, adding pedals, I can do with my other more powerful amps. For me, the interest of this 1w head, it is precisely the amount to saturate the volume without hurting their ears. And this is indeed the case. I find that the sound output is perfect for me playing in a small room. I have a mono channel 5w (the Class 5) and another in 5w mode (craftsman 15), it is too loud in the room. After half an hour, I have ears whistling. The clean sound is good (very low volume), but I do not care a bit. I still tried to connect pedals (overdrive, distortion, fuzz), and the sound is perfect. He takes pedals very well. But really the best for me is when it starts to crunch. Volume up, it's a very big crunch, but it really does not saturate. ACDC ZZtop, no worries. The sound is really good. For more gain, a little OCD and TS9 to boost, and, it really starts to move!
I bought it with JJ lamps inside. I do not know with which lamps it is sold the original, but what's with the DD.

OVERALL OPINION

The title is a little tribute on the controversy over G.com on Marshall 50th Anniversary 1w amps that sell for 650 euros. I tried a combo JTM1 or I do not like at all sound. Is the bowl? I love Marshall amps, I will try with a pleasure or JMP1 JCM1 ahead on a good speaker, but not had the opportunity to find in stores. So I find that Blackheart Killer Ant 50 euros which I find much better than JTM1 I tried. In addition, 600 euros less, it is not equal to me (that was easy!)

A small lamps all around 0.5 watts. 3 out 16, 8 and 4 ohms. It may therefore be a nano-stack with two 1x10 or 1x12 speaker cabinets Blackheart. Volume and that's all. Simpler, should not volume ... it would not abuse? For the philosophy of the amp, difficult to criticize.

UTILIZATION

The sound is clear trs low volume, low volume crunch and saturated vintage Marshall-type trs volume not loud, but enough to rveiller someone in a pice of the apartment or the house. on the other hand in terms of its quality is excellent.

SOUNDS

The intrt the amp is to provide a base volume saturates content to save or work for example and it is clear qe objective is largely achieved. His great ERRF, the Little Giant, dj was strong, but get asked a crunch consquent volume. Point here. The crunch comes tt enough to have fun without bleeding through the eyes of the neighbors. As against this vintage trs. If you like messhuggah, we must consider him a stick and modern distortion very steep for what you want, but as the grain of the original amp is trs good, even a possible . I got seeds from Page Blackmore, to Wylde, Aldrich, Moore, Lynch, Gibbons, Clapton and others by changing the gain level, the EQs and the pedals that I have al . Excellent for recording.

OVERALL OPINION

Great little amp, ideal for recording, but can not use RPET or other non sono return. Q / P excellent, as usual with Blackheart. Try it, has done.

amp head lamps with less than 1 watt, gnreusement dot of a volume knob and 3 speaker outputs (4, 8 and 16 ohms). that's all. Oh yes, an on-off switch even when.
Some find the logo trs ugly affair got it, I love.
Enjoyable finish. for quality components, I do not know, I did not disassemble!

There may be a fist, not the weight (!), But for a ct practice ...

UTILIZATION

The configuration is obviously trs simple: I use it with a cabinet 12 inches from the same brand and it works perfectly. when I new pennies, j'achterais out a 2 baffles to make a cute mini-stack full of them.

SOUNDS

I have recently, and I currently jou ineffective with a Start and an old SG.

The sound is clear trs honest, but obviously only accessible trs low volume that ds Exceeds 2 or 2.5 on the volume knob, a lightweight begins cruncher.
between 3 and 6, the overdrive is becoming increasingly Submitted, trs trs sensible and musical attack of the strings, and finally a natural overdrive volume compatible with good neighborly relations! (Day and if your walls are pretty grazed, all the same)
between 7 and 10, has become a bit strong for use in flat or very frankly, and saturation with s'paissitnettement can be a little bit too sharp for maximum volume, but is corrected easily on the guitar.

This is also the advantage of having no rglage on the amp, you can only chop the sound from the guitar a quarter turn and less on the volume of the stratum and I found a its (almost) clear, but TRS different from clean the amp volume down .. the tonal variations are also trs sensitive and can change completely the final rendering.; So far one amp more versatile (as they say in business) than I thought, just search a bit ..



OVERALL OPINION

rcente any acquisition, reu this morning ..
difficult to compare one another .. "small" amp lamp display all of the same march gnralement 5 watts, which does nothing to get a natural overdrive volume lounge. has the exeption can be Vox AC4 when Reduces the power 0.25 watts, but still quite strong and the sound suffers a bit of power attnuateur.: but the vox has other qualities, is not the issue.

I am delighted, for 100 euros (OCCAZ rcente) + 120 euros in cabinet, I have an all-tube amp with a real sound, no need to add anything and not annoy the neighbors!

Although sr, even when I plug in my little effects to see .. I would say a blow APRS.
