Value For Money : Poor
Compact head with a capacity of under 4ohms 250W all transistors. 2 outputs are arranged: Speakon or jack.
4-band EQ (bass, mid severe acute mid and treble) + switches to dig each frequency. It was also a gain knob, the volume of the effects loop and master.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use (one branch and direct it sounds) you can get all the sounds that you desire. The simple configuration of knobs makes it possible not to take the lead and everything is done simply and naturally

SOUNDS

The sound just ... it is a delicacy! I never heard anything like it so far for the transistors. It was the slap direct, clear, precise hot or cold but always friendly sound of the bass ...
I played before on a Hartke HA3500 head and ... nothing to do. It's like comparing a Ferrari with a 2cv ...

OVERALL OPINION

I for a year now and I'm satisfied, but WARNING: this head, although it does sound extremely well the power to play in a metal band (I know something; _ ;) It will be perfect, and a consultant for that matter, for anything related to music in small groups, or for concert piano bar for example.

So for all bass players who do not bother with a big head lamp in their movements and who are not of metal ... the purchase, it's well worth the effort.

Points will be awarded within the lack of power and the price high.

In addition, the "clip", which is the disease AMPEG amps, does not help the lack of power.

The 800w version looks very nice. If you have the means, rather steer you towards it
