Ravage Alliance Club « The receiver of the people ... :-) »

To quibble, I would say it lacks an LED on the footswitch
The Tolex is awful (plaster inside).
The unit is extremely well finished, however, to frame within very pretty.
Rather Mastoc (22kgs), it has large rubber feet complete isolation of vibration of the cab.
9 / 10, because we can do better, but at this price level .... (300 € new)
UTILIZATION
Super simple config. The equalizer is not hyper-reactive, like a Marshall.
The range of sounds delivered by the amp is not very wide: we love the original sound or not
it simplifies the task: one branch, is regulated in 30 seconds and you play (and it sounds!).
The control buttons are soft plastic (?), Not super comfortable to manipulate ... M'enfin who cares!
Like many amps (has almost all actually), we must avoid putting the reverb + 3.
The amp does not emit breath, even lead. Impressive (my TSL is never forgotten this side!)!
SOUNDS
Both say now, the clean is amazing!
With my PRS McCarty splitted into microphones, I'm competing with Fender, no worries.
Same with the Start. I simply placed a small delay in the loop (memory toy), and total happiness is
At least as good as my Vox AC15C1 light (also so).
Compared to the Vox sound more American.
I do not mean compared with my JCM 2000 (though not icky at that level), it's a different world.
Really, try this clean, you'll be surprised!
The sound is round, the enormous dynamics, although these low, even at low volume.
Incredible ...
I was thinking to buy a Fender Band Master for my ability to complete clean sounds, this is going to change my plans!
We pass the Lead channel:
We will talk more distortion than crunch, as the sticker "Hi Gain" on the front is not there to decorate: the crunch amp up to 6 (position max = 22), then we enter the world the distortion.
Perhaps it is this that saddens me a bit: the range of crunches is not extensive.
We gained a lot by pushing the gain from clean, but it must then make a choice between clean and crunch: - /
I found the solution using a crunch a bit more muscular than usual, which suits me for rock / hard rock of the 90 (AC / DC, Gun's, Kravitz ...).
Question distortion, it sent the block. There is a little less bass than on the clean channel, which may pose some problems for the death metal etc. ... Metallica by a cons, it goes without worries (and even more!).
The dynamic is always excellent
I tested a dozen pedals overdrive it, and it takes all without flinching (unlike my vox: - /)
OVERALL OPINION
I've had a few days.
I have a TSL 100 Marshall and a Vox AC15 C1.
I tested a lot of amp heads so far.
The quality / price / performance is unbeatable.
I bought this head for leaving it in my rehearsal room. The goal was to have a drinking its not too expensive to avoid walk off my JCM 2000 2x a week.
Mission accomplished: I not only spent less than 300 € for the second config, but also the sound is great.
I shall publish this notice in case of breakdowns, but meanwhile he is in any way guarantee 2 years.
And for 300 € ...
