Jean Nau l'Olonnais « Very good, but not simple. »
Published on 09/16/12 at 02:39Any amp lamp.
5w, 15w, 25w.
No effects loop.
No reverb.
8 outputs and 4 ohms.
Footswich to 1 selector.
Carrying provided.
UTILIZATION
The choice of modes is simple, the "cleaner" than saturated:
CHANNEL 1: Normal, Top Boost
CHANNEL 2: tweed, HI1, HI2
with choice of power for each channel.
On channel 1, in addition to volume, you can choose to have a tone control (effective and convenient!) Or a kind of master to allow naturally saturated sounds, why not, but I seized no interest because it deprives us of a "clear" and it is less convincing than the sounds of channel 2.
This, however, is much less simple is the equalizer. We just bass and treble on each channel ... no direct action on mid so. It comes out, but it is impractical and frankly not accurate. This is a point that really makes adjustments difficult.
Another problem: it is not easy to balance the volume between the two channels, the escalation settings are too different. In short: a general volume would have been welcome.
The manual is very thorough, serious, but all in English.
That's a lot of criticism, but he had to be complicated as many opportunities VERY GOOD sound in such a small amp.
SOUNDS
Commands for improvement so ... but what SON! or rather what SOUNDS!
Finally, whatever the configuration, ALL sounds. The sound palette is huge, we took a terrible spoiled for choice.
To briefly (used with a GIBSON LP CUSTOM):
NORMAL: a pure, beautiful and round, fully respecting the instrument (the use of tonality makes sense).
TOP BOOST: clean more dynamic, tending to the crunch.
TWEED: saturation not to mention, we have a frank and crunch really hot.
HI1: saturation very classical dynamics is excellent, the sound is clear and sounds absolutely not "choked". It's beautiful!
HI2: HI1 relatively identical but with a bass boost, making the sound fatter. This is perfect!
I made quickly to avoid stacking description of compliments, but honestly it's hard to be disappointed. Jazz at large Rock, TRANSATLANTIC is good everywhere.
For cons, I understand you may be disappointed if you wanted to play metal: must admit that there is very limited (palms mute not great, not sounds cleaner ...). Then we can take comfort by adding pedals it supports without flinching ... but it would be a shame.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a little less than 2 years and I'm not ready to part with it!
Past the galley setting, we obtain personal and warm tones, which are always the difference in competition.
There was no need to push the volume to flatter the ears (cheating), here the beautiful sounds TRANSATLANTIC not strong meme!
Effective at home, quietly covers the battery rehearsal (meme in 5W). On stage, its limit will be the meme that all amps sound too directional HP can help in bar but no more. But there's a reasonable volume does wonders transplanted in the sound
Icing on the cake, the amp has frankly mouth and exudes quality materials and serious (no nasty plastic or brittle) ... and for those who love the blue LEDs are the most beautiful effect.
Dear, this amp is certainly not the best in its price range but worth a visit.
