Value For Money :
Excellent
The JAM is a 150 + amp for electro-acoustic guitar, transistor, which delivers a power of 150 W.
On the top, there is a mixer with 2 XLR microphone inputs, 2 line in jack, microphone input jack extra, an additional line input jack, an RCA auxiliary input, one RCA output for recorder , an auxiliary output (independent of the master) to plug into a sound system or plug back amplified, an effects loop.
4 internal effects, reverbs and 3 a delay with volume control for the effect.
Channels 1, 2, and 3 / 4 everyone 2 have an equalizer low, mid, high, a potentiometer for adjusting the effect, and volume.
Channel 5 / 6 (auxiliary input) equalizer has a low, high, and a volume.
The REC OUT has a volume independent of overall volume (a practice to register without the sound comes out of HP).
HP level, there is a 8 "and a tweeter.
UTILIZATION
No need to leave Saint-Cyr to understand the operation of the amplifier.
The manual is fairly brief, but hey, it can be without problems.
With regard to the sound, it is a total massacre!!
I plugged my Gibson Hummingbird above, the settings of the equalizer in the neutral position, and there Whaaaaaaa, what a slap!! First of all, this amp really respect the sound of the guitar is sublime. It sends the bass properly.
I plugged also feature singing and a SM58 drum BOSS DR-880, everything sounds great.
SOUNDS
It is ideal to use as I do, and my style of music, folk / rock.
I plugged in my Hummingbird, wonderful, and a Seagull on which I set up a microphone Rose Bill Lawrence, so passive, but now it sounds worse. For cons, I have a piezo mounted on the Seagull, and there's the fact a little more. In fact, whatever the guitar plugged into this amp, it reproduces perfectly the sound of the guitar. Normal that it sounds better with the Gibson with the Seagull, since acoustic, Gibson sounds at least 10 times better than the Seagull.
OVERALL OPINION
I did that yesterday, but I love it already. First, in varnished wood finish, I find it beautiful, very classy.
What I like most, the sound of course, and versatility. This is an all-in-a truly comprehensive and offers a lot of freedom and independence in settings.
I tried the Marshall AS-50, the Roland AC-60 and the Roland AC-90, they really frown next level of purity of sound.
I bought € 670 new, from Music to Challenge Nancy, on the advice of Francis, the seller, the price / quality ratio is excellent. Cheaper than the Roland AC-90, but well above the level of performance.
I wanted an amp all-in-one to make small scenes or play in the circle of family and friends, where I could plug in a guitar, microphone and a drum machine, but this amp exceeds my complaints. It really respect the quality of the sound of my Gibson, and I think that beyond the stage, this amp will have a place in my recordings. IF it again, oh yes I do it again the same choice!
If you want to hear it ring, it is thus: http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=B9Rvyl1Gtl8
