This is a Class D digital amplifier; The connector board is of the Schuko power supply, a jack for Hp 6.35, a second, combo, both Jack and Speakon. It has a pedal input which enables or disables Eq if I remember correctly, I'm using it forever, a tuner output, an auxiliary input for adding an MP3 player for example, or a drum machine, and a headphone and line out That a / XLR DI.
Therefore complete.
Anoncée power is 250w sub 8ohms and 500 4ohms.
It has an input gain, master a equalo a switchable graphics (or off), a knob "vibe" that can go from a traditional to a modern sound, bass and treble knobs 2.

UTILIZATION

The config is very spontaneous, simple and unadorned, everything is clearly displayed, and you do not lose four years to find his son.Je find it very transparent compared to a Markbass head for example, I compare it to a rather TecAmp, for modern color.
For a more roots, the knob Vibe will do, and some adjustments to Eq.

SOUNDS

I play many different styles depending on the projects, funk, African and jazz, and the amp I was never tired nor cowardly!
I'll take him on a tour with a punk band, I would not mind ... :-) It will be early June!
This gives crystal clear sound easy, for the slap and modern sounds, merger or other, and looking a little one arrives at the roots reggae, or good old rock with a pick, carefree, and while respecting the sound of the bass .
I use it with Jazz Bass, a 71 and another of more modern luthier, it works very well, you can play Jaco or Marcus or to Linley, if we find some necessary fingers.
The game is returned to the inch, and the game agree or tapping.
I love the sound of this amp, digital provides good fishing, an immediate side, very "punchy"!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6months soon at least 2 times a week together, it works great. I had a lot of amp before, Markbass ht503, Hartke, Carlsbro, and I've tried a lot on stage Aguilar, Ampeg, Swr, Eden ...
But really, it is very effective in terms of its small size.
Just something strange in the winter, he put a little time to come on in cold weather surely. Otherwise the watts are there, I rarely pushes to gain 3 or 4 (4.5 in master) with a drummer in clubs or bars.
it comes in a bag, barely bigger than a car, value for money since I bought it from occaze, fits me well (approx € 300). I wanted to miniaturize my gear for not too much hassle to transport, knowing that the big scenes are already equipped with backline. But when I take him even if his head up on me do not branch. NewYorker with my 151, it fits very well.
I rachèterais happy, it is not very expensive.
