«  Excellent Combo ... Reliable little »

Published on 11/09/12 at 14:09
Combo amp with two channels and two master volume 60 watt all-tube (4x 12AX7, 2x EL34) equipped with two DSP Reverb for one, one for 16 preset effects effects (Chorus, Delay, Tremolo). a footswitch (included) 4-way control to the channel, boost, master A or B trigger and effect processor. Complete equalization for both channels (Gain, aspen, bass, midrange).

Outputs for speakers, emulated output of poor quality, switch to activate the fan ...


Good finish, 25 Kg amp rather well thought (basically it all ...): good impression, many look (red and black, a nice VU meter that lights ...).

UTILIZATION

The sound is very "Bassy"! we spend a lot of time searching, do not be afraid of extreme settings like bass Zero ... the first contact is very disorienting.

SOUNDS

Once set, the sound is frankly excellent: Very dark, but very manly: rich in medium and low. Mutes sound like a great big stack. The sounds are very clear as saturated music, it sounds really good. The gain is not really high (the level of a JCM 800), but there are a lot of "grain" is very rock n roll. You can attack a big fat blues, Stoner Heavy or old school without any worries. His manly side allows him to go to rub more extreme styles, but it will be limited by its lack of gain. Particularity, it sounds great at low volumes, which is rare for a 60-watt lamps.


One of the best combos I could play ...

The effects are really means ... say that it can help.

OVERALL OPINION

Advantages: great personality, good versatility, amp unusual and endearing: I enjoyed it, unfortunately:

well Cons: Big reliability problems: the effect processor freezes, cutting and altering the reverb sound. including DSP disengaged ... shame ... but you can not trust him ...

Really sad that combo trimballe a reputation well deserved amp problem ...

I still keep a great memory ...
