«  I took my slap! ... »

Published on 05/31/10 at 05:23
Amp any lamp.
With an impressive range of adjustment.

It's 50 watts but what does it spits!
2 channels, 2 modes and 3 modes in clean saturated (since version 2) and different from version 1 with only 2 modes saturated.
Version 1 did not, my remarks are to be confirmed.

Note, I do not know the difference in sound with the dual (100w) but in any case, I can say that the 50w is plenty sufficient in terms of volume to play again (I do not exceed 1 / 3 for my with ball and hand-pack)

UTILIZATION

For an apartment, count only play on its clear as it is much weaker than the popping sound.
For the saturated sound is not worth it, he must juggle the threshold of "I have no sound" and the threshold of "wow this is too much" ... typical of tube amps.
The configuration can be simple and complicated, let me explain ...

With this amp (and a good guitar) was at once a pleasant sound to hear the sound of grinding with an impressive presence. on the other hand, if one wants to find the sound that suits us perfectly, the game becomes more exciting but longer-law ... and the panel is important, what is fun.
But it is only happiness!

For the manual, I can not answer, I just read the news about things that needed to be careful not to damage it.
To adjust the sound, it was with the hassle of trying to me ...

SOUNDS

I just located my usage to help you understand the positives and negatives that I could attribute to rectify this head ...

I went through a Marshall 8240, provided that overlook the big sound, you understand me ... (This was to make my debut rock but considering the price, I could not afford better)

I then made a big leap forward with a Mesa Express 5:50 to play at home with his Mesa.
In its clear I was blown away, beautiful! (As much as 5 watts in 50 watts but above 50 ...)
But what was my disappointment with distortion ...
Wanting a rock sound that is the punch (not metal I mean, really now) I quickly realized, to my cost, that the 5:50 ET to really rock the Blues, on the other hand, for which he done its job. (Well again, it's still my opinion)

But with the correct, you enter another dimension. The sound is distinctive and unmatched in my opinion (subject to find one, but I think not, check in each case)
Always it is only the modern mode (most used for me) and a gain little pushed, the sound makes me, well ... some particularly pleasant sensations ... What is enjoyable! (Excuse the term).
It comes in, it's clean and not mushy (some say there may be better but I could not test) in any event, what a slap! ...
Severe snoring ca ...

I have not been able to test the effects in the loop (noting that the loop is not activated / deactivated by switch) and it seems to me that his biggest negative point.

It is also true and it is a time lag in channel change but hey, nothing is perfect ...

Hence my score of 8.
If that does not bother you, the note may be higher ... it almost makes me sick at heart not to put him over.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a week.

I could exchange it against my Combo Express 5:50 and do not regret.
I lost the speaker in history and currently plays on the Marshall that a colleague has generously lent for the occasion ... I want to thank because without him I can enjoy.
I dare not imagine what it can give a 2 * 12 Series Rectifier ...

Do not see this as a idolâtrerie this brand or what model amp but really, I'm seduced.

I was much under the spell of clear sound of the Express, as there is love crazy popping sound ...

It goes without saying that I will ever be the choice if I had not already done so.
As everyone said, nine is expensive, very expensive but the quality is there ... therefore may be more to choose from OCCAZ.
