«  Good little amp! »

Published on 01/06/11 at 10:08
Value For Money : Excellent
Audience: Beginners
See description
Lack a loop to complete this good little amp. The line out is very usable with a good quality cable
The HP 10 'is a bit tight but there are good alternatives as in Eminence (see forums)
not heavy so convenient!

UTILIZATION

Config simple or single arch on channel 1. Clean simple but effective.
Not much more complicated on channel 2


SOUNDS

The clean is very nice, real fender. The spectrum is quite broad. Low lacking a little definition but for a 10-inch HP it sounds really good.
The pedals go well in this channel 1.

I rarely used the channel 2 that I found less good, especially compared to my HT dual for the distortion.
But honestly for entry into a lamp (yes, channel 1 is an all-tube, read the schema, only Channel 2 is thus hybrid stop false debates), it sounds great
In rehearsal with a drummer who hits hard and with a second scratch on a JCM900 it was the road to 5 on volume 10, so small club he runs and sounds good at low volumes.

OVERALL OPINION

Do not compare to an amp with a budget three or four times. In the segment is certainly the best value for money. So yes it sounds worse than my amp 50W Traynor Custom Valve shop but we do not play in the same court! Compare what is comparable.
Very good buy for beginners who want confirmed an amp that sounds good to clean to put a good pedal behind.
Would recommend especially to competitors or Vox ADVT Peavey Windsor that I've tested.
Last thing, in a year of heavy use it has never had a problem with reliability even if made in China!
