2x12AX7 hybrid preamp, effects loop, switch 4 / 8?, Active-passive, 500W
EQ bass, mid, treble. + Volume / gain. standby. If you love the minimal, hijab is not an amp that is distinguished by its rglages.
Given the number of

UTILIZATION

rglages, we can not talk about setup. The manual I have not read
To play alone, this amp is almost unusable, the volume is too loud and rglages inoprants EQ.
In repetition, the sound is very very fast, but it comes well find a saturation level playing (a little) with the volume and gain.
3 EQ are unusable for me, is pure cut / boost (cut o = no sound, if you put any cut there is no sound). So I leave it all afternoon and I RULES bass.
Rglage the most versatile is the gain, the volume is blown over.

SOUNDS

I Rock 70's stoner trend, it's punk-rock in a power trio + voice. It should be very much the sound I wanted. I had previously and the Ashdown MarkBass but they did not satisfy me. With Terror Bass has worked well but with a low level of output. My Fender Big Block gives much better results than my VIG Cobra Pro pickups with EMGz: this bass goes very modern "law" through an amp that this request be fed with something powerful, otherwise it's just loud and nothing else. Ms. rplique of my Fender passive (no name) has better results than the VIG.
Since I got this amp, I sold my countless pedals Distortion / OD low, no need of these artifices, the receiver has done very well with a punch and superior dynamic range.
Compared to MarkBass SA450, it is much less Dfine sr especially in the bass. For some songs i have my game radapter

OVERALL OPINION

I've had it 5 months, I am totally satisfied. To have bought new mail without having tried it I get lucky. Knowing that it is possible to evaluate this amp in a group. I was looking for my sound, dsesprant can do with a budget that does not allow me at all lamp. APRS out research with markbass + multip pedals, I finally have my sound Ramones / Clash / Stranglers etc.. The ratio quality price is right, and although I am of the EQ bass / mid / treble. But I'm going.
Since I got this amp, I do not intend to redeem before very long, may be of TecAmp.
Its minimum weight and size as an asset supplmentaire.
It is a very good choice despite its EQ very average, but beware: many adpend bass you put into it, and if you like modern bass, this amp is not made for.
I recommend it for fenders active / passive trend vintage rock or punk rock.
