Amp-hybrid preamp with a lamp and transistor amplification
12W-Ca fate ... But apart ', it's not bad! With HP Celestion 8 inches, at this price ...
Guitar-Input, Headphone, Output recording (the good of the amp) and an output for additional speaker.
No-effects, it's simple ... 4 knobs, three buttons at all!
-It lacks a little footswitch..9/10.

CAUTION: it appears that the new series does not have the line out for recording. Check the back where the two made like this (circled in red, the output for an extension cabinet, next to the line out to mixer)

UTILIZATION

-As mentioned above, super simple, super efficient ...
-The clean sound is superb, the sound is warm overdrive, but I do not use my disto.A high volume, the HP's hard, I will make an extension cabinet, it is useless HP to push the limite.En apart ', the sound is faster too strong for the neighbors
-The manual? 2 .. So many pages to read, there's even ideas of settings to go even faster.
I do not put 10 because there are better .. But not in this price range.

SOUNDS

-Everything is playable with ... Jazz, Blues, Rock ... To play Metal or Hard Rock, as buying a distortion, this lack of success for ...
-A copy of Les Paul, a Start copy, no need for guitar € 1000 for the ring ... a distortion, a fuzz (at best, a multi-effect) and go.
In micro-double, a fat, warm in microwave simple, a more incisif.La mid shift button allows you to dig a little midrange to sound a bit MESA. When not engaged, it sounds more Marshall .. (Be careful though, this is not the quality of a mpli 10fois more expensive ... Let's stay realistic, but "in the spirit of ..")
I prefer the clean sound, with the mid shift off .. matter of taste, you can do everything avec.10/10!

EDIT: I have since bought a very good guitar (Ibanez Sabre 1996, rising by Seymour Duncan, he is transfigured, I receive the grain even better, finally, a quality guitar brings a big plus to the sound, but again more output level in HP gives problems, consider making a firm more to play loud)

OVERALL OPINION

-After a year of use, Zero deception ...
"It is solid, the sound is beautiful, and what price / quality ratio, it is always a pleasure to the budget of a student.
-I tried it by chance it was love at first sight, the models that I tried to post did not convince me.
-The price / quality ratio is excellent with the € 139 .. .. It HPcelestion gift!
Yes, two and a half years, for this budget, the choice will be the same.

EDIT: Well, the HP 8 inches is a fair bit when you push the volume, I tested it in a 12pouces Marshall 1 * and 4 * 12pouces Laney .. Yum!
2 years and a half later, the reliability is still there ...
