1 instrument input
2 outputs: amp or PA
3 channels: clean, crunch and lead
1 Joint EQ (bass, mid and treble)
independent volume for each channel + master volume common
Micro format is very interesting and practical
It is both transportable in a backpack and is used as a pedal, the chassis and the knobs seem solid.
UTILIZATION
The manual does not say much, but at the same time the use is extremely simple, with knobs rather sensitive. One can easily find his sound.
It was unfortunate that the input and outputs are reversed with respect to any matter not pedal, which can make the connection, but nothing major.
The same for the common equalizer, there is a tradeoff between the different channels.
As a preamp, the Tubeman could have an effects loop.
SOUNDS
This is my first toy lamp, I can not compare it with other things (except that I have ever tried in shop), and there is a huge difference. I have a Gibson explore with emg pickups and an amp peavey envoy 110. The difference is obvious between before and after. The volume was multiplied by 4, now I can push my sound much more. To play with me, my two volumes are almost at minimum and it is clearly sufficient. I look forward to push a little more.
I find the sound great, especially the clean channel has a very beautiful clear sound, especially used with a chorus. The crunch is very nice and well being pushed, although I do not use it too. The lead should compete with any distortion pedal hi-gain transistor, the sound is solid, consistent and powerful, and there is a voicing knob more gain and volume that can push a little more in aggressiveness, but we quickly found, however short to play death. I play a lot of thrash and I found to my liking, but I have liked to have a little more. However, I think it is perfect for prog metal, speed, symphonic.
Its great advantage is the versatility and sound quality.
OVERALL OPINION
For a very reasonable price, this is a very good option for those who want to spend transistor lamp. The sound quality and versatility really worth it for a modest cost.
This is one that is clearly oriented studio unit, and it is a shame because its ergonomics lent itself to be used live. This does not mean it can not be used live, but it does not seem very practical for this purpose. He could also have a button to turn rather than connect the power supply directly.
However, it is quite portable and does not take place. It lands on the ground directly in front and active.
So despite some flaws, I am quite satisfied. I find the lead a little short in aggression level but it remains powerful and massive and this is largely offset by its versatility.
