oli.1968 « I love it! »
Published on 07/30/10 at 03:37Everything has already been said, very full, too bad there are only 3 channels
UTILIZATION
The setup is simple? To qualify: first, there are many buttons but it's easy what they do
Manual: I did not even look
Do you get a good sound easy? Yes, but do we get easily the ITS? No
SOUNDS
That is what concerns us all. I totally agree with the opinion of rolandh but I'd add a few elements. First, with this amp, you have to play very hard, not below 4 for master as for channels. And there is a vamp! Useless to try it in your room, it will not work. We need a large room. Otherwise, you can switcher in 50 W (unlike rolandh, I have not found any difference in sound) but even then, you wake up the whole neighborhood. I've had quite a head amp: JCM2000, Engl Powerball, 6505 (I always) is the Genz Benz and I was most impressed at the power! The second guitarist has a Dual Rectifier and I can say it is at least the same level. So, for the power 10/10.
For the sound itself is very special. Rolandh said they like it or not and that's exactly right. If you take a look at forums in the U.S. or Canada (where, unlike here, she is plébicitée), you will see that often compared to a correct or 5150. This is true for the style but the grain is quite different. The sound is clean, do not base even with the gain completely. To compare it to my head 6505, I would say it is sharper, cleaner and, more importantly, he makes much less noise. I am not an expert on the subject but I would say it is incisive and powerful.
Please note, this head is also very temperamental. If you stick him in the mud at the front or back, it will give you the dirt on output. So, a good scratch, a good jack, and analog pedals for speakers that take the road (I have two 2x12 in V30 and it sounds impeccable. For cons, I tested with a 4 * 12 G12-75 and it seemed softer)
Note that I mostly play with the overdrive channel. Cons by the clean is a real clean, unlike the 6505 example.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for two years and I've never had a problem except with the pedal with the cable seems fragile. I can not say that's fine because I'm captivated by this amp. I found it a little expensive when I bought it, but now it is found used at a great price. If we are not afraid to think outside the box, this head is worth its price. It is less flattering than a correct (no room for error, like an engl ...) but will live better, it is much quieter than a 5051 or 6065 and has a true clean. In short, she did not blush before the great and she has character.
