«  Between medium and void, what is? »

Published on 01/17/11 at 08:13
On paper this is the ideal amplifier: small, lightweight, simple, effective.
Too bad the cover is not included in the price.

UTILIZATION

Breeze. Not need the manual.
Getting a good sound is another story. I use a

SOUNDS

cavaquinho (maker of Rio) and a Ukulele (Lanikai with preamp) and the goal was to use it also (and especially) to amplify the voice with a SM58.
I expected a very clear and precise manner EAR. It is very far.
With the gain of 50% must go to the master half to start to hear something. And what I heard was not terrible.
For voice it is necessary to push the treble almost completely and lower the bass to almost zero. This is not what I call settings effective and well proportioned.
For the instrument that is also very deaf. One has the impression of consensus through a pillow pressed against their ears.
To obtain the correct volume only ukulele playing / voice should grow earnings and master at 70%. I do not even use it on stage a bit noisy as return.
Where are the 120W RMS announced??

I tried to connect my ipod to see how he reacted, there is also more than mediocre: no bass, muffled, as mitigated.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought on the internet without trying. I regret myself so inflamed. After only 20 minutes of testing I think I will return.
I read some enthusiastic reviews on the internet and I do not understand the craze for this little box.

If you are looking for an amp very small, very light and you're just a very average sound and a low volume, it is for you. But it is expensive.

Detail that is not one: the finish is frankly low end. The white melamine which covers the box is of poor quality (holes in some places!). In furniture it's called the "paper design": fragile and ugly. The slightest touch and it leaves crumb. For an amp purportedly meant to be happening everywhere carted it sucks.

Value for money very average.
Obviously I do not do it again this election. For 150 euros more I hope to find an AER Alpha-hand.

I am enclosing pictures of finishing details. The amp was completely new, just unpacked from its box. It speaks for itself ...
