100watt amp transistor, setting simple, bass, drive, volume and limited. 7-band eq, headphone jack, MP3 connection & CD and effects loop.
Very comprehensive for a small transistor.

UTILIZATION

Using super simple, not even need the manual, you branch your bass, you adjust the EQ, bass and the drive and you're done. It quickly gets a good sound but has a certain condition which I will explain below.

SOUNDS

My style is rock and metal. I also like playing the blues or jazz but not so much my thing. This amp is perfect for my style in any case. I will not go to say he is hyper polivalent but there are ways to play sounds on bcp.

I use it with an Ibanez btb 405 and a fender jazz bass 5 string. Quickly get the sound I want, ie, medium fat with very sharp.

The big problem is that this amp is very powerful, too powerful even. And thus the membrane is very strong. As you live in an apartment like me and can not make too much noise it's crap. And the amp does not show his qualities at 100%. We really pushed the top so that it begins to show what he is and yes it sounds very good.

It is 100 watt but for a concert of 150 people is more than enough. It may be also why the opinion diverges somewhat lower level of its sound quality.

OVERALL OPINION

I use depuit two years but I think changed for a less powerful A 70.
What I like most about him is his simplicity and the fact that it is monstrous powerful for a small transistor.

With experience I will ever be the choice if I lived in a place where you can make more noise.
