For me it's all good

I will not return to the conf, it has been amply described by the previous review.
I tested against the control by channel by an external pedal (in this case a GSC2) and it works nickel without audible latency.

UTILIZATION

I replaced my old head Mesa for Taurus, for a more portable solution. Compared to the latter (especially with the lack of presence control) is obtained very quickly a satisfactory for its roughly equivalent (to my ear).

SOUNDS

I play a Parker Fly Deluxe, so also with piezzos for clean and everything goes smoothly. The musical style of the group oscillates between fat and heavy.

SOUNDS

OVERALL OPINION

In the end, I only found one major flaw on this amp is that the boost switch is very (too much!!) Near the mute switch. So I cut my sound twice when sending live solo ... My problem is now solved by using an external footswitch. Another small point is the difference in volume provided by the boost that is really too much! It must be set in millimeters at the lowest graduations.

A big advantage out of the sound, this amp is that is in your feet and thus in the middle of your pedals, which allows me to use fully the effects loop, which I never did before to avoid 4 jacks have 6 meters in the legs. A small thing also is that as this amp is located on stage, you can easily descend into the room during the scales to see what gives the sound.

In conclusion, I do not put that on my 9 overall opinion for which qq shoes a little more than 36 the girl is sure to engage the mute live ;-) For the rest, I do not change.

Revolution?

Hybrid 40 or 70 watts (your choice) in 4 or 8 ohm pedal size (50w 16 ohms).
A clean channel with a switch and a crunch setting in addition to 3-band volume, saturated with its own 3-band channel EQ, adjustable boost officiating on any sound, and mute switch which I'll let you guess utility.
Entrance, an effects loop, an HP output, line out (yes) and even two entrances on the side of the beast which I have not yet entered the utility.
Ah, yes, this is an amp head as a small all-metal pedals, which seems heavy duty and weighs about three pounds ...

UTILIZATION

User side, we can do more simple and effective.
The functions of knobs, switches and inputs are marked above, not rocket science.
Easy to make a sound, although, for my part, I have to push the treble almost at max (Is it just the machine, the Orange PPC112 cabinet or my ears ...)

SOUNDS

I had a lot of different amps (pro sonic blues Deville, Twin Reverb Silverface, classic 50 head with a 4x12, classic 30, 5150 combo ...) or all being too heavy or not powerful enough or with its unsatisfactory or requiring more pedal board for my purposes.

I was looking for a lightweight configuration, the weight and size, without losing sound quality, "Good luck!"
When the salesman showed me this, I almost throw me out of his mouth. I had to try a lot of amps in wide price range, but it was finally a good surprise.

The amp itself is not really typical, we will have really chosen grain baffle (orange PPC112 for my part, which gives a grain a little british) and also operate actually the sound of the guitar.
Which means:
Good scratch = good sound, works in reverse ...
the clean sound is clear, the crunch is a bohneur, the distortion, it will react vraimment depending on the microphone, the boost works great.
In short we have a stack lighter and less bulky than a combo solution that works harder if necessary, and a formidable versatility.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had three months.
With a good reverb pedal in the effects loop, I can use a repertoire of songs and reversals of any style in public without compromising on sound or killing my back.

I do not know how this little Polish brand successful this feat, but if you often carry your gear, try it is to adopt. The only fact that the mouth is my physio!

In addition, I suspect that it is still only the beginnings of the brand, and should be closely monitored.

I would not use it as the main amplifier in the studio, because I have a ultra rare and typical head over this one, who suffers from a stroke, lack of "personality", but that's the only one downside of this toy on which we find still all the sensations of a tube amp.

Portability and versatility are now compatible with quality.
