Best value:
Excellent
Well everything has been said ... this is my first stack, so I'm not an expert in the field ^ ^ 'j'appuirai just the fact that the head is in a great thought ... I do not know if it could be as complete and simple! I saw a lot of other heads, and that is one of the most successful issue intuitive!
for its many settings, 9 / 10 (a mesa is not either, it could be better but the price range does not allow it)
UTILIZATION
Use super simple, each channel has its settings, you connect, set a bit and it sounds. I did not have the manual but with really no need, except maybe for programming noon and there are still fiddling ...
because of the 12 possibilities of sound, you can quickly and easily find his life ...
I vosi not much to complain about the above, then 9 / 10 for sound (see below)
SOUNDS
this amp is very versatile, which implies a lack of personality certain ... everything can be addressed without pretensions, no problem, blues, funk, rock, metal ...
The clean channel is pretty good in green mode is crystal-clear, great with the stratum, the very clean clean. mode orange, small distortion on the clean, perfect for a funky rhythm like a lot. mode red disto nice, small but nice enough to send ... I find success in short channel
CH2, the crunch ... I do not like the masses, it is very cold, it lacks real heat and low ... it's just my opinion, but the three modes do not really believe me ... It sounds short but it is neutral, cold, nothing to do with a nice bluesy crunch well
OD1: celel I use mainly. Mode Green is a distortion crunch that dc not super interesting, and way too many red gain, ca breath is not manageable. So orange mode, gain a 6 or 6.5 and it's not bad. slight natural compression and well marshall, it's cool to rock and hard, but not accurate enough, or for cutting metal
OD 2: same goes for the modes, the green and red I Zape. So orange is the OD1 channel with less compression, sharper, more accurate ... better for metal, it's really a distortion directly.
basically, I use the clean channel with my Start, with 3 modes (green = clean clean clean orange = rhythm a little dirty, red = crunch)
crunch channel I use not
OD 1: Start with the solos, rhythmic RG, LTD and paul
OD 2: just to the metal with the LTD and RG
through programming noon and has a Z-15 from ENGL, I have a versatile amp, which agrees well with each character as scratches
7 / 10, but it is neutral, too bad breath and channel distortion crunch
OVERALL OPINION
after 2 years of use, I am more able to be sincere
for the price, it's a good versatile amp. do not look for a receiver with character, not a beast of his, is a head that can calmly deal with everything for a good price with the huge advantage of being programmable by noon and have 4 independent channels.
Likes: versatility, the first channel, the distortion goes everywhere OD1 channel, the possibility of noon, the two effects loops (serial and parallel), the affordable price
I like least: the crunch channel, I find useless, breath ODs on the canals, lack of personality (by changing the lamps for less gain can probably catch a few), the rating may be a bit of nasal grain in general ...
is a very good price / quality ratio, I do not regret my purchase. Now I'm more attracted to a Mark V, but I do not spit on the JVM that is really a very versatile amp, accessible, although not excellent.
