It could not be simpler ...
- 3 channels:
<ul> Ultra: Hair, Body, Bottom, Volume, Gain
Crunch: Hair, Body, Bottom, Volume, Gain
Clean: Treble, Mid, Bass, Volume </ul>
- A master volume, nothing else (no reverb or other Presence ...)
- A toggle switch 3 positions for select channels
- A toggle switch Power
- A toggle switch Standby
- Finally a Damping switch the rear with three rglages: Tight, Loose and Mid.
Note that the 6L6 may be replaced with the EL34.
UTILIZATION
It's totally plug and play, plug, mount the volume and send!
You just have to be careful and do not crash during select from impdance, especially when two speakers are connected.
The switch "Damping" provides a more or less "right". Personal Leave it on "Loose". A note on "Tight" sound seems less powerful ...
The particularity of this large head is the active EQ on both channels saturated (Ultra and Crunch so). O In the names a little wacky ...
This equalization is very effective, the knobs are trsractifs!
Therefore we must spend a lot of time to refine its sound. The big advantage is that makes this a versatile head trs.
No need for manual use this header, so the use is simple. it provides is more than enough.
A word about the footswitch has a rather unusual operation.
It has three buttons.
- The first "Ultra / Crunch" which toggles between these two channels if the Clean is disabled. Red LED lights = Ultra, Crunch otherwise.
- A deuxime "Clean / Bypass" which allows either to start the clean channel (green LED lights) or to launch a channel saturated ...
- Finally the last button to trigger OOU not the effects loop (loop = yellow LED turns ON)
So you can have at the same time a green light and red lights known the pdalier. has meant that the clean channel is switched on but if you Disable (deuxime button), the Ultra channel is on its way ...
I am working on a modification of pdalier for simplified operation (one button per channel with the possibility to enable / disable the effects loop), the moment it works in simulation, I rdigerais a Verify tutorial when I have the operation in real life.
SOUNDS
So I think that this sincrement head may agree any style of music.
The trick is to know well rgler, and especially to avoid any substance if not become the bte ingrable.
For indeed the gain goes, trs trs far, far further than most heads as I could and this essay on the same channel Crunch (which did not really a).
So for the apprhender bte hsiter do not take it easy.
I play metal, certainly not too violent, but when the same metal, and I do my knob Gain Exceeds than half!
I mainly use the Ultra channel, from time to time the Crunch, and Clean trs rarely, so I will not dwell on the penny.
The Ultra channel is quite "modern", of course dig into mdiums.j 'loves the raction of the amp on the palm mute, was still upright and prcis. I mainly use the guitar up in EMG, including Edwards FR 130GT (81 60) and a BC Rich JRV (85), which is perfect to keep his prcis but with a big potato. everything is adding a low tuning is ecstasy! Personally I play a tone lower (DGCFAD) and it is a pure joy!
I use an equalizer Depuisplusieus Annes chart in the effects loop. This allows me to carve its really the way I want, the equation of the head remaining almost flat allows me to catch under the conditions (room, cabinet, guitar ...).
In fact I use TC Electronic G-Major in the loop before the equation.
The effects loop (disables via footswich) remains active in my case, the bypass directly off the G-Major.
The crunch channel sounds a little less modern than the Ultra channel, and the level of gain is a little lower (for a vritable Crunch, do not Exceeds 2 on the gain, or use the clean channel by mounting Volume ...
I use this channel to play things a little more to the roots RATM, in not only Exceeds 3 for the gain.
The clean channel is beautiful trs, trs and be well my use (tuning ).
More srieusement the sounds of thunderous clean channel is quite a big sound amplifier plutt East,. in fact really the ultimate weapon for versatility.
A word on the cabinet. I have not had the chance to try the head on the cabinet Triple XXX, as a given that I bought with a baffle 412JS of the same brand of quip Jensen. The sound is very modern, with a grain trs end. It trs prcis has not drool, though Submitted bass.
I then bought the famous Harley Benton G412. And adpote STRID! The sound is a little more "vintage" (everything is relative), a larger grain, better dynamics, a more couillu, thank you for the V30!
I also had the opportunity to try other speakers such as Mesa or leVHT in V30, and I t's not quite the sound, which seemed too "fermquot;.
Finally I took a big blow on the head while trying a 2x12 cabinet OUR XL (ie vertical with HP Mountains diagonally) with two V30 quip.
If one day I change the speaker will be the l.
I deprecated the use of the head with a Marshall 1960, G12T do not really honor abte ...
OVERALL OPINION
has now almost 5 years years I possde the head.
This is THE FIRST head lamp that I offered, and nothing until now given me want to change, quite the contrary. Sometimes I drool on some head or some config rack, but eventually the head fully satisfy me, and I suspect I'm not prs to find better elsewhere.
Also I know even if I change my style would suit me the head always thanks his high Polyval trs, which is one of its great strengths!
To be honest there is not much that I do not like, by weight may be a ...
Before buying it I tried a lot of heads? Either do not have AIM (Hughes & Kettner, Marshall, ENGL) or the n'tait not my ways (Mesa / Boogie, VHT / Fryette ...).
I think the price quality ratio is almost unbeatable. Certainly today there are many amps trs affordable lamps, with a more than adequate, but certainly not with as good a quality manufacturing and robustness of such ...
In short, I would do this choice with his eyes closed for the moment it is not prs leave me, even if you never say never ...
