Beginners
Everything has been said!
UTILIZATION
The config is classical (see previous reviews). The only different is the addition of a knob Sweep. Basic but effective. I think it lacks a gain knob for channel Kleen. it would have been nice to have some crunch but it is clear that this is not the intention when buying this head.
I would say that the simplicity of the settings is only apparent. The Presence knob Sweep and even can radically change the sound and are very sensitive. It's really not easy to solve. I put more than 30 minutes to get a saturated sound "interesting." I would say that it's also annoying to pay a Mesa. So it's not for beginners.
I have not seen the manual settings but the examples seem to be a nice to have a base from which to hack
SOUNDS
I plugged my Jackson Custom increase in SH-2 and SH-6. The head was plugged into a Peavey 412 MS (Sheffield).
The Kleen: very very good. everything has been said earlier. Good for any style provided it plays on the volume of the guitar. What is good (or appear as a default for some people) is that it does not crunch the same high volume. In fact initially I thought heard a crunch, but in fact it was the baffle and the walls (and my ears?) Who found it difficult to collect! is to say ...
Boosted channel: no transcendent bin ... hard to adjust, acute screaming, especially when you go up the presence. Strangely, when you go up the treble, there is less showy side when you go up the presence (to 3 is no longer worth it looks like a metal zone ...)... This is probably due to the cabinet I think that is not the same "class" as the head. A vendor with the appropriate cabinet and Krankenstein told me it made géniallement well. This is someone you trust so I really think this is the cabinet which ruins everything in this case. (I'll post an add in a few days if I can retest the vehicle). Otherwise, the gain is more than enough for any style of metal (death, thrash, hardcore ...)
OVERALL OPINION
Tested in store 1 hour in a room adapted, so high volume.
A little disappointed because when we hear the samples on the site Krank is already dreaming ... but I repeat, the trial was not optimal because the cab was not that of the head.
I love Kleen, the little knob available (it's already hard enough to settle like that ...), the reactivity of knobs, the look.
I do not like the price, the distortion (the grain is different. To try before you buy for fear of being disappointed).
If you really want to invest in there, take the corresponding baffle.
Tomorrow I try the Peavey 5150 on the same baffle. we'll see if the sound could come from there ...
