Value For Money : Excellent
good to see other reviews for the character I'm too lazy!

I just note the settings minimalist, post-lonestar special I looked for hidden knobs but no ... and so much more! to quibble missing reverb and another master ... good point, however, gains for the 2 channel OD, it's been almost a 3-channel!

noting the (small) price, I put 9 of any lamp like this for as cheap ...

UTILIZATION

Config ultra simple, it's basic ... no manual was useless because unless you have 2 years: p we get easily a good sound, I just note the bright switch I do not like the masses, it becomes quickly marshall has the nasal ...

8, it's simple and effective

SOUNDS

then, I say bravo!

I sold my mesa easter not versatile enough (not enough gain even with the bb preamp). I was looking for an amp can do everything (cover band obliges). I go to a store a few at random and ask what I can have in exchange for the lonestar, and the guy offered me the caiman ... I had vaguely heard of the brand but never tried: / bin I have not been disappointed with the Polish!

Clean channel: Start U.S. with my deluxe it's clean, nothing to say but it's not the lonestar is fine, warm and crystal clear! with the bb preamp I rediscovered my game blues ... with a guitar in humbucker (my musicman petrucci or others see profile) is less clean, AC cruncher trend quickly, and with the preamp it's really super enjoyable: p So for a real clean sound is not scraper that sends, but overall it's good and it fulfilled its role!

channel saturation bin I love! with little gain AC crunch has desire (one claps acdc well even without the sound mythical) and pushing it over a good distortion going on everywhere! I spend with musicman without any problems, the LDT for drops is nikel (Nickelback, Godsmack, Muse ...) even if the stratum is at the street / I would have just liked a little more gain is sometimes limit but hey I'm a little too demanding, I like to have the reserve for the lead! otherwise the sound is warm, slightly compressed and good beats in the bass (with the baffle caiman), AC really does!

I do not like the bright switch, loving distos U.S. creamy and compressed this button reminds me of the sound I wanted to abandon marshall ... others love it!
9 is not perfect but for a price that is unbelievable to have AC, and two it sounds REALLY good

OVERALL OPINION

therefore used for two months in group and solo, and the picture is more than positive!

I tried a lot of amps (orange, mesa, marshall, Diezel, 5150, Leaney, Fender ...) and I admit that this one won me over by his character and price

Most:
- Which can clean the cruncher, and supports very well the effects
- 2 levels of gain
- The distal hot, compressed and downright endearing
- The minimum weight, finished the galley!
- The ridiculous price
- Design simple but effective
- Good finish (handmade)

Least:
- Switches the brights
- Clean volume levels / saturation has set hard enough (second master absent)
- No reverb: p

the price / quality ratio is unbeatable, I return it ... tjs I had a Marshall JVM 410H of that cost double and that sounded less ... as what "small" bit distributed brands do a great job!

rant for pourav notice that was posted before ... test of 30 minutes, scratching pourav and tester pourav ... this site there are people who are here to praise their stuff 'cause theirs is better than everyone, or people who lay opinion without really getting to the bottom of things or seriously ... we must stop to pick up his post count, it starts to fill up, for people who are interested it's hard to see the REAL review! I am very well able to criticize when it's bad, you can check, but I do not like free criticism and unfounded.

short, good amp, good cleans even if not exceptional, warm and nice crunch, modern distortion rather pleasant, and for 1400 euros ... pity that this bomb is not more known, it would hurt a lot of brands! I look forward to testing the alligator and Mr Hector!

9, I am very satisfied and what that price ... A really good amp
