framby « Epi-phone? »
Published on 04/26/11 at 06:02Everything is said in the previous review:
Amp-all-tube (for the part 2x12ax7 preamps and a EL84 for the power)
-Gain, volume, reverb (spring).
-Exit "Reverb out / preamp out".
Out-Hp in 4, 8 or 16 ohms.
UTILIZATION
With three buttons on the grill difficult to get any easier ...
Presence of a stand-by for the preheating of the lamps. Not found on other amps of this price.
SOUNDS
Tests in the cab with eminence shop open and semi equipped with a Les Paul P90
As on previous opinions on the lack of roundness and gloss, really too focused in the medium - medium high.
The definition is pretty nice even by cruncher lamps (the lamp finally!) A good shot.
The reverb seems nonexistent. After 11h at knob it only appears to cause an effect ... emetic.
The dynamics of the sound is good but not excellent ... Half shade ...
First try at home with a small cab 4x8 Blackstar "and a Jaguar (j'étofferai paragraph as and a measure of usage):
The dull side of the amp goes well with the sound (very) bright Jaguar and gives a result rather well balanced! The cab (closed) gives him a comfortable seat in the lower spectrum without being too (much better than the Epiphone cab) and it's a beautiful clear sound that comes out of the beast!
Going up the gain it through good crunch to a small overdrive limit.
By adding a small overdrive pedal (just a bit to boost the level) saturation appears well and keeps a beautiful beast definition.
On sounds very saturated the bottom of the spectrum loses some precision and brightness decreases. At the same time, he has not had an amp head to the Black-Death-grind-Xcore swisscheddar-metal.
OVERALL OPINION
Used for a few hours my opinion is not necessarily the best.
But having tried several heads (between 250 and 500 roros) this little Epi, 120 € in a supermarket promo music, though filled his office and report quality / price is more than interesting.
At that price no frills, one branch, we play. Well enough to work at home (we keep the stack Hiwatt to the Stade de France).
