«  saturation reference! »

Published on 04/16/11 at 07:44
is a head lamps with 50 W every 2 channels, a rhytm and lead, each has its settings independently of the other channel.
for each channel was; gain, treble, mid, bass, presence and master's + reverb knob behind the head.
there are two switches for switches with 2 possibilities; "or Pushed clean" and "vintage or modern."
This actually allows each channel to receive a boost for a little more power and color for the channel clear and further saturation level for lead channel.

UTILIZATION

for me it seems simple, but it takes a minimum of time to understand the fundamentals of this head.
I have not read the manual.
for sounds, I'd say I preferred the overdrive and I am left with the impression there, there is nothing to add to this issue head saturation.
question sounds clear, frankly, there's more! (Proof: my laney lionheart!)

SOUNDS

this head is well suited for other rockers and metalheads, the rest is not even worth thinking about!
for sounds, imagine the distorted sounds of references (metallica, linkin park, POD .... etc. ...) and voila!
it's just incredible that level, and I myself am surprised to say it again today (because it's been almost a year since I've tested it and I remember it as if it ' was yesterday).
good, of course, we should see the side of Diezel for something equivalent in terms of sound, but it is no longer the same rate (even when it costs about 2000 € for a combo!).
I tried with a lag Arkaan 200 black shadow.
what I liked, and the distorted sounds.
I did not like, sounds clear typed too big sounds without finesse.

OVERALL OPINION

I have not tried that for about 45 minutes.
I too tried other amps (Soldano, Marshall, Laney, Bogner, Vox, palmer ...).
as I said above;
most; distorted sounds.
the less, sounds clear and the price (1700 € wholesale)
I think the price is expensive but I think it is better to wait to find a used one to pay it, it was still a high quality of saturations at our disposal and we feel that when you turn the knobs of a millimeter, the sound changes, it is a sign for me high quality, precision.
value for money is there, we buy by product knowledge.
For me, it's still a reference sound, I would buy property in addition to my head laney lionheart; like that, I head for clear sound (Laney) and a head for lead (mesa boogie)!
