badgrat « and counting! »
Published on 02/10/11 at 02:38The features are basically identical to the first version. Only things that change are:
- A gain per channel (4)
- On channels 3 and 4, the focus knob is replaced by a mid boost
- The effects loop is now switchable via foot-switch (very well that!)
- The color of the head
UTILIZATION
The config is always simple, like the manual. We need to tamper well determine the effect of knobs and "interaction" they have them. But it is simple compared to a Mark V)
SOUNDS
is always an amp for playing metal although it is always possible to find a set style, but for other well ...
I will not dwell on all channels and their sounds but I will look for the BP II to BP I
The big difference is an overall sound (basic voicing or if you prefer) darker. The sound is more focused low mids. BUT I find the treble knobs and more effective presence on the DB I allowing him to lighten his voice to resemble, if desired, to the PB I.
So the sound of the PB I is still there but with different settings. So you must get reacquainted with the amp. Or rather, get to know because this is not the same amp. What makes the PB II is more a dose of low medium and medium plus that can carve well with the equalizer. So, it's like a PB I "doped")).
Grain, although similar, is a little more "raw" versus "sizzling" on the version I. I like!
I'm not disappointed to small revival in the grain. That is excellent!
The big thing is that I love the effects loop switchable via switch. Ca, it was missing on the other. It's very convenient when you use such a delay pedal that is looped and is located on the front of the stage and your amp is 10m behind. It's been a good length of cable and its potential loss. Instead of the avian "loss" of his times, you do that when you engage the effects loop. And voila! Ben
OVERALL OPINION
I've had it three months. I also have the PB I. I love both. But given that the BP II is also known to recreate the sounds of the PB I ... Only one can suffice. Except that I need to lug my amp in rehearsal, P
