Tube amp: 6 12AX7, 4 6L6, 2 5u4
faade in:
-4 Channels: two clean / crunch crunch and 2 / disto
EQUASIS-separated: low med high gain master presence
-3 Modes per channel, in order: CH1 clean tweed fat, fat clean CH2 Brit, Channels 3 and 4 raw vintage modern
Two general-master: master and solo
Jack-entry
-Standby mode with the selection of amplification (bold or spongy)
Hand-power
has the artery:
for each channel:
Adjustable-100/50W
One-knob reverb ADJUSTMENT
One-mode setting correct tube / silicon
On off-switch for the effects loop
Overall:
-A series effects loop with volume control knob send
-A 7 pin socket for the footswitch roadster
A rotary-switch ch1/ch2/ch3/ch4/footsw
-7 6.35 mono jacks to manage the various options (reverb loop solo) and a channel footswitch from a standard switch or noon (engl z11, for example)
Tuner-output
-Output slave out with volume adjustable (to retrieve the floor of the preamp and rebalance Poweramp another example)
One-Switch to set the bias if you go for a EL34 (caution must be taken mesa!)
-A switch to disable the loop and tuner output
-Changeable fuse
on the pedals:
-A switch for each channel
-Reverb
-Solo
-Loop
Receiver mute (can cut off the amplifier when there is agreement). this option is controllable since the pedals ... shame as well because it is convenient to the drive via a switch or other z11/octopus twelve o'clock
as you can see is very complete, nothing is missing ... Except for MIDI
-1 Because for the price they have put an implementation aurra noon!
-1 Because if you Midif the head, the tuner mute is without inactivating the pedals of the roadster!
UTILIZATION
Contrary to what one might think in view of the large amount of switches and knobs, the configuration is very simple. just spend a little time to test all the combinations to find happiness
the sound is achieved very easily to the extent that all settings are good, there is no combination or equa that does not sound properly. after this can be complicated if, like me, it was a very clear sound that is chercche. The must spend a certain number of hours or even days, to be paid each channel has its skyscrapers settle, find a suitable microphone, the tyrant of the strings adequate (with the head so if it becomes clear very quickly that even the tyrant of string sets CONSIDERABLY plays on the sound), with or without floyd /-vintage tremolo, types of wood ... balance in the short to 3cm adjustable cables between my tube screamer and my isp decimator!
the manual ... bah as usual in mesa is a bit long to read, but it is very useful because it really explains the operation of the equa very particular, clearly explains the use of different options etc ... and presets proposed are already very very good!
the brief but good except ... bah still a lack of noon, then -1
