kaoslord « Jet City hat! »
Published on 09/08/12 at 02:59this is a monster all lamps
100W, 5 12AX7, 4 6L6
2 channels, 2 gain, 2 master EQ knob and public presence.
UTILIZATION
there is no simple! manual: unnecessary
one branch is heated 5 minutes and ops is partly
kill your drummer or tear the wallpaper, if you are at home.
SOUNDS
before talking about sounds must say that lamp replacement preamp is absolutely necessary. with original lamps (12AX7B) the sound is average.
the clean is not bad (hot and slamming) but the sound distortion is too fat in my opinion, the bass do not work well and there screaming treble.
So: turn 12AX7B quickly, or else keep them in positions that do not affect the sound too (V3, V4).
the amp a very simple design and its changes with surprisingly different lamps used. For my part I found my happiness with:
V1 Sovtek 5751 (nice bass, very pure low gain big potato to gain high)
EHX 12ax7 V2
12AX7B V3 (it adds fine mediums and heat lamps to its Russian)
EHX 12ax7 V4
EHX 12AX7 V5
ITS CLEAN: the clean channel remains clean longer, you have to play with gain between 2-3, but enough to turn the master, the reserve is the headroom (100W to thank you and big transformer).
low gain and thanks to the 5751, I get a clean sound with powerful bass and treble fine. with single coils and a little reverb is wonderful. all my pedals (OD, distortion, boost) sound great through the clean channel.
still in the clean channel and password q'on gain level 5, the beast turns! small farewell agreements, and welcome to the big rock-blues. The Stevie Ray Vaughan fans will love! This JetCity a huge potato in medium-low frequencies with a fabulous warm grain is pure happiness! With a Strat is THE Texas Blues, and a Gibson is furious ACDC.
With the clean gain MAX is the killing, it seems that HP will melt so the sound is round and warm.
The clean channel possesses a great dynamic with gain knob to 5 Bassez the volume of the guitar to get a nice re-clean.
LEAD CHANNEL:
Take the lead channel gain level has been allowed in the clean channel but it is more saturated and sharp.
The sound is really big rock in the spirit of the Soldano.
Headroom is impressive, even with a 5751 in V1, needless to push down the knob. Gain 5 is the large stoner rock sound, gain 8 is the ITS groups deathmetal 90s.
It is nasty, big, bold and powerful, but you can hear every note, the amp is never garish. You can also boost pedal with OD (is this-that there really need?), I amused myself with my old HM-2 and ITS Entombed is assured.
IMPORTANT: The MASTER is very well designed - no need
to push too high (and tear the wallpaper!) to get a good sound.
it is very good to play at home.
OVERALL OPINION
I like:
simplicity
the clean channel, versatile and powerful
the large distortion and channel its huge lead
the look (I've changed the blue sign for a black grille)
I like:
the effects loop (some pedals do not work).
its weight!
The price / quality ratio is simply UNBEATABLE
Fans of SOUND large (whether of large or heavy metal blues) go for this brand, you'll love it!
