UTILIZATION

A simple config like any preamp that I could get the manual is in English but no need to use except perhaps if you want to use the output reccord but who after what I've read n ' is not terrible and I is not something that I myself useful. The sound is soon to asse appointment request anyway but it some time if you want to have more homogeneous sound the same level, but it would not be fun if we had on what we want lol

SOUNDS

Personally I play mostly rock and the variety so I would say yes it is my style, I do not think it is appropriate to those who play the kind of hard metallica at least with the config I have, it faudrai for ca a power amp that spits well and can be that but it I know not tell you ..... I personally played on a Les Paul custom shop 2004 home with an Epiphone amp mesa 20/20 rack out on a 2X12 roadking home mesa and this is where I was going. I can understand most find it very clear sound but not elsewhere except utlise with this 20/20 is perfectly suited! 2 together gives a powerful sound coherent! I did not buy this stuff to be able to remove the clothes of my women just a chord ..... just have a big net clean, powerful sound without any ca peter ears and putting all the knob of my power amp thoroughly for ca breathes well as it should. In short I hate any sound I wanted to have 3 sounds clear, a crunch, and a rhythm with a good heavy distortion and no more and I have what I want, if you want more than that then do not buy the formula on the other hand if like me solo is not your thing if you want to quiet your party while having a beautiful sound then I say a big YES! you know the kind of guitar that part not noticeable but when you take them out ..... ca causes "oh shit he's missing a trick!?"

OVERALL OPINION

I've had this morning I had as a pream engl which was also perfect but without foot switch and not the mesa I'm glad I have all mesa! lol what I prefer is the footswitch! I not kidding this is a recess but I like its simple, effective and aggressive look that fits particularly well with the rest of my gear. I paid € 470 in new condition with 4 lamps and footsitch mesa neuvent then issue value for money I was not complaining, I Thank passage Jean claude was that I bought that held the delays sending and getting me the invoice and even a jack. So yes if I do it again this choice without hesitation but I stress again, not with any power amp! for liking it must couple a not very powerful amp does not need 15 sounds and you will be satisfied.

Prampli with 5 lamps, a format of rack unit 19 'with footswitch.
The Stros are tudies connectors for use in recording, or both scne both ...
The rglages are simple:
Gain (pull / push on channel 1), treble, mid, bass, master with legalization common to channels 2 and 3 and a master volume gnral.
The 5-band graphic qualiser is switchable on the three channels

UTILIZATION

The configuration allows for the correct sounds DIFFERENT musical styles, a switch high / low impdance prampli adapts to the types of microphones (single / double coils, active / passive) on your guitar.

To say that the sounds are "good" is not enough because according to the choice of lamps (the type and brand) and it changes rglages compltement agressivit or the roundness of the sound obtained.

Taking the time to learn the craft, you get great sounds, a claret and a diabolical precision plain, from the lightweight to the crunch and drooling to saturated bleeding bleeding trs see, it's not complicated!

SOUNDS

Used with a stratocaster, noiseless pickups and a Gibson SG, a Mesa 20/20 amp and a 4 x12 'Engl was a real treat! (Except for my back ...).
Start with:
The clean sounds are bright and expressive, the soft crunch as sales or lgrement rglages, the saturations are plutt sharp and incisive but prsence trs is convincing and makes me almost forget that there is no humbuckers on this guitar ...
With the SG:
The clean sounds are soft, round, smooth and jazzy plutt acute pass but in the crunch attack mdiator and rglage can flirt between light-saturated and saturated the slaughter start over and do s'arrte (the horns of Angus grow unattended on the head!)

OVERALL OPINION

I use this hardware since prs a year, most is to have a palette of sounds like "professional"
sounds real purists will love lamp!

The use is certainly versatile for use in jazz, reggae and pop, but I think more broadly appropriate styles of blues, hard rock ...

The hardware is sturdy but a system that rack cabinet + transporting heavy and impractical for a simple little beef ...
This is part of the price paid for the quality was not given because even if the dollar falls ...
