UTILIZATION

Very easy to use
I did not need to do manual work.

It's easy to get the sound that you want if you stay in clean or crunch, overdrive the simulation are not pleasant (honeycomb sensation).

The sound is roughly speaking that of Wox DA-5 with a sort of suround stereo, plus punchy.

SOUNDS

The clean sounds are impeccable, I jazz and fusion and pop in all its forms. For saturations adding an overdrive pedal will give the desired saturated sound (test with OCD Fulltone, Boss SD-1, Mooer Solo, Tech 21 Double DriveX3, Zoom G3X, Vox ToneLab, Line 6 Pod 2)

Can be connected over a bass, a guitar or a keyboard, a microphone singing, + with a stereo mini jack input (or 2 large jacks)

I play Gibson ES 135, Eastman T386, Fender Stratocaster US 1976 and US 1974 Fender Telecaster
Préscision Fender Bass.

The clean is superb, the slight crunch too. on the other hand, and it is now known about this type of product, Vox has never convinced on overdrive and is not up to the simulations Zoom or Line 6.
But all this and accessory because what is essential for me is to have a good clean base on which I add if necessary external pedals, and Vox Mini cash balances very well. (I need in my game can go from clean to overdrive.
So the pedals is ideal)
As against the reverb sucks, but can help if one step in his pedalboard or Zoom G3.
The delay is I find rather successful, as well as chorus, flanger and vibrato.

Connect over your I-phone or Samsung via a mini-jack cable or other sources auxiliéres, the sound of hi-fi quality with a very good definition with low audible, which is a feat considering the size of 2 HP 10CM (4 inches)

OVERALL OPINION

I tried the Yamaha THR 10C seduced me with its design, the sound is good illusion, but still too digital for my taste. He can not act as portable mini sound system. And too expensive for what it is!

I tried the BlackStar Id Core 10 fine but does not portable sound system and especially has no battery to play outdoors! This is not quite the same benefit.

I've had 2 days, I do not have much back, but the specifications are fulfilled with me, able to amplify my computer and my guitar on my many travel. And to continue to work to make my statements and partitions. Especially to restore a Hi-Fi sound from my computer that is my working tool and properly hear the bass, which is not always the case with laptop computer pregnant or I-Phone / Samsung ...
