Value For Money : Excellent
T says it all, or almost. Too bad there's no effects loop and legalization, but would probably have largely affected the budget. In addition, the hardware on entry level, the more we multiply the sound possibilities, the more Reduces the reliability. not to mention the breath. The one is calm. Simple but effective. Considering the price, what more? I dare not imagine gure pay the people who make a. ..

The inconvnient facing the combo is the compactness. Dplacer must be a firm, plug, etc.. The advantage that I chose the head is the possibility to connect any type of cabinet, thanks to the three outputs hp. The combo itself to be taken into 4 ohms. Not easy to find a cab collection's outdoor so.

UTILIZATION

It could not be simpler: a switch, a potentiomtre. The manual is correct.

SOUNDS

The sound is amazing when one considers the price of the machine. Of course, I use plutt peripherals with high-end, which helps get good sound, but still same. It's weird to play with a head amp that score less than a good pedals. The volume button increases the volume and plays the Tone. quarter of the race, was a clear fairly open, with good dynamics, a nice heat, but as quite dark. When mounting the volume, treble gaining momentum. Between one third and half of the race (depending on the guitar), began cruncher. At bottom, we get a big crunch, trs a bluesy sound volume to allow aisment fcher with neighbors. With an HP high-yield, it is possible to play with a battery (not too strong when same), provided we do mourn the clear sound. To play the blues in Chicago in overdrive in a small bar, it's all good.
I use a standard LP, a Grestch G6120-1957 Nashville w Start and more. As pedals: a Overtube Jacques, a Maxon OD808, Maxon CP101 compressor and a Tonebone Classic, which provides a saturation trs bluesy and rich. Ct cab, I plug it especially on a Peavey 1x12 E112, with the object Peavey trying to impersonate HP, t chang against a V30.

If you're in love sounds 60's, 70, this amp is a godsend. I put 10, because if perfection is not of this world, I had no idea that so cheap amp sounds can come out as good.

OVERALL OPINION

I possde for five months. I bought it for curiosities rather than by need. That said, I find it very useful, either for play time o my big amps are too loud, or for jamming in places risks. I have nothing particularly blame him, considering its price. It should be raliste I prfre a minimal hardware, but that sounds reliable, plutt a machine that blows volumes and crashes. There is the Harley Benton GA5, which has a legalization (not very effective, he parat) and is cheaper still. I did not test. So no comment.

The quality-price ratio is excellent, unless the GA5 is also good, but I do not know.
This is an amp gnial, but we must understand its limitations: the sound is typical "old", no need to seek the metal (albeit a good pedals ...?) . There is virtually no rglage. The crunch can only be obtained that a high volume dj trs for an apartment. This amp is deprecated someone who has no pedals to add to it (at least an overdrive).

What I take DCID (APRS combo test) is that a lot of collectors amps that Tranent forums in a possdent. A guarantee of quality in short.
