UTILIZATION

This is my first head! Before I played on a marshall EMG (the old transistor). So I'm not going to compare with the other heads that I could try that hate spcialiss stores.

Do you get a good sound easy? Yes ... Anyway APRS is a minimum of tweaking is good but it is not the mission.

The manual is clear and sufficient for a beginner like me (level stuff) is quite enjoyable, in 4-5 pages says it all.

SOUNDS

So my style is the speed melodic power metal (malmsteen, etc. ...). heloween Small precision: I have an ENGL cabinet, and an American Series Stratocaster E.
For the style is the ultimate, Grosse precision in the treble, as in the bass. APRS is clear that I have an AIM compared to ENGL powerball, but I could not (in any fawn I could not get through to me).

The four channels are clean, crunch, lead and ultra.
The clean channel seems rather nice knowing that I have on my guitar EMG pickups. I am not a connoisseur but hey it seems to me that this is not the main asset of the head even if a good rest.
The crunch channel, I nel'utilise rarely (if at all) so I'll refrain from comment.
The lead channel is very cool for a few solos old trs is good. As against it must adjust the reverb if it's the cata.
The channel ultra dchire. This is the one I use most. Whether in the treble or the bass is clean and neat. For the palm-mute is hell. The large net well, what better for metal?

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two weeks, and I can not get enough (that would be very unhappy when APRS even two weeks).
What I like most is his accuracy, and distortion. The appearance too! This is not the most important, but frankly I find this machine esthetic trs (we can see the lights shine behind the grille). Laying on my ENGL cabinet is hell.
Provided the pedal is good, has its settings can be stored on any channel, and an adjustable switch to another knowing that even the volume setting is retained. I understand that the other heads that there is no Systm? That sounds weird but good APRS all possible I do not know much. That's a need to beware of me. Because I did not ssay MODELS much before I get it. So to compare it is not obvious (as I told you, I will compare to the famous AIM to ENGL powerball). That said, if your fan of metal, you can type in the trs trs luxury, go for it! Becaufe the net, new, 1190 is guaranteed for two years. The report seems to me excellent quality price, and then OK, so it's east metal, but still quite versatile.
Try a worth it.
