Amp of some 175 watts (hence the name ...) well represented, there is more than enough punch to kill your drummer if he has no amplification. To borrow the idea of the brand, we have here a real amp modeling. 6 yen (that is, a 6-channel adjustable as desired) and a loop of three cool effects (filter, octave-to-rags and chorus). To add a layer, you get a 4 + presets, these are four models that you can substitute other of your own if you sing it.
The amp has an entry in the + passive / active and traditional pots: drive, bass, low-mids, high-mids, terble, channel volume (which allows you to keep power by lowering the master volume, practice for distorted sounds) and a compressor (I found a little crappy) with an XLR output and a switchable tweeter.
The amp has a good mouth and frankly looks damn solid.
UTILIZATION
The advantage of all the buttons / channels / effects & co is that it is possible to have very different sounds and of good quality; the disadvantage is that it's taken a bit of head start . But hey, it's a bit why we bought the amp, right?? Anyway if you are lost souls just read the manual: it is clear and well done.
SOUNDS
It is possible to obtain three "types" of patches saturated with channels ROCK, BRIT and adjustable GRIND with the drive it gives lots of possibilities, eg if you hack the drive is a way to have the type "motorhead" that is a style of his brontosore. Of course it depends on your bass and microphones, mine is a stew with Yamaha (which I intend to change a precision later) and it sounds really good compared to the Hartke B300 I had before.
If the saturated soule you turn the drive or put the other two channels provided for that: the CLEAN and RnB.
And you still have the SYNTH. As its name implies, you can play with the synth type sounds, modifying them with the multitude of pots available there is a way to have sounds frankly bluffing ("tzoing").
If you count the effects the possibilities are endless ...
OVERALL OPINION
It is no coincidence that bassist magazine wrote that this amp is a success. For some 600 euros (about) one has a powerful bass amp, very versatile and convenient. Guys do not wait, go for it!
