UTILIZATION

The construction of the amp is very good.

Usage is very simple because there are few settings. But each plays its role knob and allows good "sculpt" the sound.

The transition from 8w to 15w is the standby button and another at the back can cut the hp.
Dommmage that do not have a level setting for the DI output.

SOUNDS

I use "The Beast" with a 2x12 V30 OUR XL, an Ibanez JS1000 and EVH Wolfgang Special.

The clean channel is very good for an amp rather typed highgain and metal. The setting of "character" can be both round and sweet sounds, only slightly and snapping.

The channel is saturated Highgain typed métal.Il responds perfectly to the volume of guitare.On can go from a big crunch to lead sound very facilement.De Moreover, despite the small size of the amp and the little lamps in it you get a really big sound very well defined.

The amp also take pedals very well both on the clean channel or on channel boost saturated.
It may not be very versatile, but with some good pedals on the clean channel I'm sure you can get many sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this amp for only a few days but I find it really good in his register (the Big metal). The finish and build quality is really excellent.

It is powerful enough for concerts and rehearsals. Moreover the capture (LoadBox, DI output and headphones) are really great to register at home.

The biggest flaw is the lack of effects loop. I really want to insert a reverb or delay.
