Value For Money : Excellent
- Amp Modeling
- Power 15 Watts
- In Jack, MP3 input, output (headphones or record)
- Controls: Drive, Bass / Mid / TREB, Volume + EQ effects, 2-button effects: Chorus / Phaser / Tremolo Sweep Echo and / Tap Echo / Reverb, Master Volume
- Hidden function: Boost and Noise Gate Drive
- Two separate scales, one for clean and one for the other modes (Crunch / metal / Insane) would be useful.

UTILIZATION

- Configuring simple but rich in opportunity, there are so many settings at the beginning we do not know what to use
- The manual is poor, says just the buttons but nothing more.
- For use by repeating or together do not count. The settings are far too complex for a quick adjustment or transition to a distortion / clean fast music.

SOUNDS

- It suits my style of music pop rock metal. Amp versatile enough, there's plenty to do
- Coupled with a DX10D Jackson, my favorite effects are the chorus and some reverb.
- We get it a good clean sound.
The side with metal and insane distortion is obtained quickly with powerful sound bold but it is difficult to obtain a clear and precise. In addition, acute are a little noisy which is quite unpleasant but we will have had worse.
The Crunch mode is a nice, can make sounds more "funk", ideal for the Red Hot.
I put 7 / 10 for sound in loud sound with acute disto imprecise.

EDIT: I have now been four months and is still going strong. Note that distortion, if the gain is too high, the amp starts to sizzle, especially in the acute and dashes. It's quite unpleasant, but you can set it so that it does has to do more. This is only 15 watts after all.

OVERALL OPINION

- I've had three weeks.
- It is a pity it is difficult to obtain accurate sound to make good ptits solos to Metallica. I think that tampering with a little more we can do it. But hey, this is not a high end amp, you can not ask him more. The sounds are annoying screaming acute when we blow up a few more Watts.
- Good quality / price ratio anyway.
- I do not think I would do the same choice. I think I would take a more basic amp, better range, and the association if I need one or more pedals.
This amp is more focused on the modeling of effects of the main qualities of an amp like a good old distortion.

I recommend it if you want an amp to have fun all alone in your corner. Exclude repeated or used in concert under penalty of galleys to set your amp to each music.

EDIT: I was able to compare line 6 with a fender, it has nothing to do. We feel that the clean line of six duck sounds like some notes crunch. I count myself in favor of a separate amp that is not modeling. In addition, we realize that the distortion is drooling. Well it's good for a first amp, but I will not repeat that choice.
