There's lots of other subtle but the key is l!

The manual is on the site of tlchargeable PEAVEY. It is super clear and Retailer all the effects and possibilities of the BTE.

This gives the sound you want easily. Personally, the standards are so saturated and often beautiful, I just qualizer the base without trying to change the sound with other effects.

SOUNDS

You can really get all the sounds you want. It's quite impressive! I play on Japanese Jackson with EMG 85 and SA 81 and the pre amp I plug in a Classic 50/50 and a cabinet Peavey 4 * 12 JS. I am a bit of everything (pop, blues, jazz, and especially metal) and I find my happiness. the parametric qualizer are useful for wide spectrum of sonrits.

It's hard to dcrire sounds obtained because we can really achieve everything if we take a little time for rgler.

Gain level is a killer! we really more than enough! You can do the Black Death and no problem whatsoever in the modern or 'dirty'. The quality of saturation is amazing! For Blues and Rock is the top too.

The super multi effect is complete: dlais, rvebs, disto lamps or 'transistor overdrive, tremolo, compressor, chorus, pitch 2, noise gate, coil tap, exciting, speaker simulator, simulator dtereo, equalizer 4, 5 , 3 bands, a yammer rotari speaker!. The effects are good quality but for dlais rverbs and I use my prfre Intellifex.

OVERALL OPINION

The weak point is the amp simulator: the date when pre amp level audio quality is not great! If you want to use it plugged into a sound card, you can use an amp simulator software to compensate for that. Otherwise, I think a simulator type Palmer PDI 03 should be enough to transplant it to a mixing desk. In short, the pr o the amp is doing best is plugged into a power amp and a cabinet.

Strengths; cest everything else! It is really great comprehensive and flexible. It's pure bliss! I have not found a sound he could not get out!

OCCAZ bought for 450 euros six months ago, I am super happy and I do not believe me spare before long. Only a TriAxis could replace in my heart.
For the record, he arrived in the mail, the package on a cot compltement dfonc the silent mtal twisted 45 degrees can not rack! imagine the shock! Bin I branch and walked nickel! Peavey is really solid! (It happened to me the same thing with my Classic 50/50 and still has walked on top!)

Frankly, if you find one, try it because we should not spend ct!
Lamp and a pre amp MIDI abordadle correct prices and super versatile, has become rare!
I would recommend especially mtalleux (death, black, prog) and rockers.

I just rcuprer of RVision. has been a while since I had not used so I'm going to be more objective:
- The speaker simulator that I found no one is really good. I just spent the noon APRS crushing in every way and I have a fucking her on my Alesis MK2 active! What should like to spend time!
- Sound: in fact, it really is not empty for rgler sounds perfect. I mean you get good sounds easy but sounds gniaux will ask for patience, especially when you add effects, must go molo on the gain if we want to avoid the spray! Similarly, the effects rglage levels, should spend time for a ring. has also stems from the fact that the effects are of average quality as I explained above.
So should spend time, you might say it's the same for all but it's true that sometimes it is frustrating ... he he
I keep the note because it really gives a hell of a gadget, even 10 years APRS its release, it is used in all styles.
