«  Very good portable amp »

Published on 01/01/14 at 14:25
Modeling Combo 7 watts
Works both mains and battery (6xAA)
Compatible with Fender Fuse
Effects & Sons: everything is fully configurable via Fender Fuse, so you have access to the entire range

Via Fender fuse can download and save presets on the amp. Buttons to select presets and effects are well done, we found it. But we must find the presets to your ear, it's a bit annoying, we come to know those we love force ;-)

Otherwise the HP sending a sacred sound, I not rise more than 4/10 in my office and all the way to beyond 7 serious struggle to meet the acute (but considering the diameter of HP, nothing to worry about, although On the contrary, the bass is nevertheless excellent)

The amp has a solid handle transportation, coating class, nothing to say from this point of view, impeccable craftsmanship. Only small black dot, the corners are not protected against shocks all protections have been useful but we will not quibble over the details!

UTILIZATION

I have already had beautiful baby of the range, the Mustang V
But it remains to me because it is really big, so I decided to complete my equipment with a small amp to take everywhere (and which will also serve as portable speaker evening, beach, travel ...)
With batteries loaded one has a 10aine hours of battery life, depending on the volume ;-)
Otherwise take into account that battery + charger (if you do not have one, like me) you'll get € 60/90 (depending on quality), taking into account the costs so!
The amp itself is extremely intuitive, but I already know well Fuse and operation of presets so I was not too difficult to take in hand.
Some basic presets are completely useless, I reconfigure everything to remove the metal and hard rock sounds to replace the fender cleans all kinds, I'll explain that later!

SOUNDS

The amp suits my style of music. In fact, I played on a Les Paul Epiphone Guitar average range so.
I rather play accompaniments or blues, scales, rock not too beefy and especially reggae (So stuff ranging from Arctic Monkeys Naaman, Jake Bugg, of Unplugged etc ...)
The highlight of this amp is clearly in the cleans.
Not that nags most amps are bad, far from it, but fender has managed to retain a model with striking his amps (Twin Reverb, Champ, Princeton ...)
To say, the store where I bought the Mustang V, I asked to play on the Mustang and a real Twin Reverb, I did not find the difference so the sound was beautiful.
So I advise you to focus on clean sounds on the mini is made for that!
Taking the very good I think, ca not saturate like some amps can be a bit noisy but fun to play quickly over his favorite songs!
The effects are very well done, special mention for the delays and overdrive happiness!
To summarize:
-Favor cleans that are perfect
-The distortion is not to throw everything but the amp is not for ca
Well-proportioned and realistic effects

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a 15aine day and I spend more, I love its mobility, its attractive price, compatibility with its big brothers and magical sounds he cleans out.
Fender offers an extremely comprehensive portable amp, better than the competition (no pictures against the Vox and Roland functions available level) but we must recognize that it is more recent.
If you are new, I can only advise you against a Mustang 1, the power difference does not change (the mini sending heavy anyway!) And many advantages over it
If you treat yourself to take your courage in both hands and try Fuse, the beast will show his true nature to your delight!
