UTILIZATION

The settings are extremely simple
For home use, the volume will be a quarter of its travel
However the configuration settings is completely different classic amps (no fine tuning of sound: no treble of serious etc ...)
And use appropriate for beginners who want to get a satisfying sound settings without too much

SOUNDS

Playing styles ranging from blues to metal, this amp with 6 imitation amp is perfect for beginners wanting to play all styles of music.
The lack of acoustic amp "tone" when played at low power but is very realistic
The Fender amp and Roland have a great clear sound, but you have pushed the volume has more than half to see the Fender cruncher which is annoying when you play in a domestic space.
The Vox pitcher with very quickly and allows the gain to get back into serious micro beautiful low
The Marshall high volume provides a good overdrive sound perfect for the Hard Rock
MESA has the same very small (quarter of the race) gives off overdrive which I personally found me on the impressionnés.Idéal for his legendary Slash particular or regained his legendary group of hair that remind us that one day we will die!

The effects for me are a little too chemical and not enough "versatile". Indeed it is very difficult to adjust for example the delay to find the sound of U2 and ended up with phaser sound of Pink Floyd Breathe in

OVERALL OPINION

I use this amp for 4 years now with a Strat and a Les Paul Hagstrom kinds. This is my first amp and I will renew this purchase without problem!
Despite the effects a chemical can too and settings not developed enough, the beginner will be more than happy to play everything (anything) through 6 amp imitations. Ideal for playing in his room, but not powerful enough to use one stage (as the car! XD)
For less than 120 euros you can afford quality Roland, an amp that fits in the trunk of an Austin Mini (which is an achievement believe me!) Also you can take it and played around with diet battery that can hold 20 hours of after the manual (I never tried)
