Value For Money :
Excellent
20W all-tube head 2 ECC83 and 2 EL34.
Output: 8 Ohms, and 16Ohms 2x16Ohms.
2 channels, a digital reverb damn nice!
Effects loop.
Footswitch (included).
I put 9 because of the lack of standby which may interfere with some one even if personally, this is not my case ...
UTILIZATION
I use one at home and in rehearsal. I hesitated with his big brother HT40 (combo) or ht50h (head) but 20W is more than enough to cover a battery (well, it is not a drummer 150kg in steroid or death metal, but is that tape still good!). Clarification, it also holds the road clean, I play with a Les Paul (humbucker so) and I can cover the battery clean without worry. Although not yet tried it, I'm sure 98% it will also kick in cafet / bar / small room (anyway beyond, it is transplanted).
The config is simple:
- Clean: 1 tone and 1 volume
- OD: 1 ISF, 3 band eq, gain 1 and 1 volume
- General: 1 master and 1 reverb (which does more than keep the road)
Some will complain about the lack of standby but hey, just put the knobs of the guitar and the volume and amp gain to 0, it takes exactly three seconds and a half ...
Its versatility and simplicity allow to nab a good sound easily! After that, it is sure that we, as guitarists, we like to tweak, especially if the pedal is used.
As for the manual, it can be of great help! In fact, if you galérez to get the fire in your barbecue, type it in, it'll be better right away! : D
SOUNDS
So I play everything: Muse, Red Hot, Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, AC / DC, Blink, White Stripes, Gun's, U2, Pink Floyd, etc.. Many things which have nothing to see at a glance: p
Well for me, it makes me happy! I use some pedals (some, not 6453) and I get to touch everything a damn convincing!
First, the clean, I was a little skeptical when the tone only (no 3 band eq) but I soon realized he did his job: You can get a pretty clean neutral (at Marshall ) and a crystal clean, paying more in a fender style (I said in a "fender style" not "as a fender", no stoning please) pushing the tone knob. I get a good sound like funky Red Hot carefree and yet with a les paul.
For distortion, waaaah guys, this is the bomb! It is rather a big fat overdrive distortion that I found, but you will still go very far, I think for a Metallica or Black Sabbath p'tit it still does well, now forget the metal. .. The eq is effective, but no more, I say in the Marshall style. I also find it was a little up the volume knob to prevent acute loss of VERY LIGHT (I emphasize slight). The ISF knob is just insane: just left a typed his Mesa, middle, and Blackstar is all right, it's Marshall -> What up?
And finally, he eats great pedals!
In short, both the clean distortion that convinced me! The rhythm of this amp is great and his sound, which pays more in the bass and the medium is just as much! And besides, the beast is versatile!
OVERALL OPINION
In short, a good clean, a good distortion, pedal-friendly, an effects loop, sufficient power for group play, great versatility and fabulous style (because frankly, it has an amazing mouth) what else?
I've had a few months and it pleases me plenty! I think I'm in love ...
I did a long search before falling on it. Of course, I fell over quite quickly but the lack of eq bothered me, so I did not bother to try it right away, what a mistake! Not only the simple tone is super efficient, but in addition, it makes the machine much easier to adjust! Anyway, so I try AC15 (not my thing), a Hot Rod Deluxe (legendary clean? Yeah, really, but then there really is not convinced it's super garish, and the higher the volume unmanageable) TSA30h (not bad, but the Blackstar is better), Classic 30 (not like at all).
The value for money is excellent, of course, this is not the price of a pair of pumps, but it is a tube amp huh coconut hopefully not get out with 250 balls if you want something that sounds. .. So a big up for the Q / P! (Note: purchased from Thomann in stock B-550, when at Thomann, no introduction, impeccable service, fast delivery and great prices, I do not buy that over there).
I write this review based on my criteria of what I was looking for in an amp, and it satisfies all ample, a score that I gave him. If you want further information, do not hesitate!
