«  A huge gain »

Published on 05/14/12 at 10:27
Everything has already been said, but hey, it's a whole lamp, 15/7W. eglages volume, EQ and gain shape. HP outputs in 8 and 16 ohm.

I just put 8 because I will not spit on a little reverb, but that price should not dream.

UTILIZATION

Difficult to get any easier in my opinion! One branch, we chose a gain level, adjusting the volume, and we play! The sound does not fit? A button a little button shape, pretty magical to me, and off you go.
Shape for the button, which serves as EQ, it acts on the medium. To be nice, we go to a rock sound, with many mediums present, has a more modern sound, say metal mediums with very reduced.

9 because nothing is perfect in my opinion

SOUNDS

Guitar: Fender Jim Root signature, EMG 60 neck, 81 bridge.
I rather play metal and hard rock, which made me choose this head, and I am fully satisfied. The reserve gain is huge, and I very rarely exceeds 14h. With the EMG 81, I get huge saturation, and the sound fits very well with the shape. With 60, while kissing the gain, there are ways to have a much more rounded.
Only downside, there is a little breath if you really gain rises above 15/16h, but must be easily removed with a noise gate, which I have not made, being given that I do not ride the gain up to that level, but I will do soon, and I will publish at this time.
I tested a few hours in "group", with another guitar (with a Peavey Vypyr 15), a bass and drums (which not hit too hard), and 15W are largements enough. After, never played at the same time as another guitar amplifier tubes.

8, because of the breath has too much gain

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 9 months, and I'm still very happy. I chose it because I've tried the tiny terror of the same brand, and I loved the sound. The dark terror is similar with more gain, it seemed natural to choose, and I do not regret it.
What I love? Well I want to say all that tonight legain huge, or the shape that allows an infinite number of sounds or almost.
What I like least, and well that price, we have a great sound, 15W, and of course quality, so not much to say.
The value for money seems corrert, and I will ever experience with this choice, and I advised a friend who has the same need as me, namely passing lamps, with a large reserve of gain, any adjustment simple (you do not spend 2 hours to find a good sound), and a power not too enormous.
