This little combo 25W transistor follows me since I started guitar. The connection is very simple: one between a headphone jack, a plug for the footswich. Footswich Why, you say? Ben has two channels, of course! A clean and OD, which will be discussed later. Regret: no effects loop. the "R" attached to "25" means Reverb, therefore, no surprise, there is one reverb intgre without m&#39;tre information I can forward it is numrique. The knobs are all there from classic for this type of combo: in clean, a 3-Band EQ and a volume knob, to drive volume and gain knob, and finally one for the level of reverb.

As I&#39;ve dj criterion, we may regret the absence of an effects loop and a Second Entry useful for small herds imprvus. However, all trs is solid, easy to transport and good quality (in 8 years and wheelbarrows, not a pet &#39;, not a knob that crachotte, Marshall DFX would do better to take a leaf ...). Also note that the amp is "open" on the rear (the HP is not locked), which has two consquences:

1 to 1 unfortunate fall with a dagger in a totally impossible angle could lead the destruction of the HP ... Honntement I dfie anyone to make me swallow such a story.

2 - it is convenient to slip the cable of power supply, which ts amp, can not be unplug. You can also store mdiators, jacks, ropes, sandwiches, toothbrush, canned ... Please note this amp does not rfrigre, forget the yogurt.

UTILIZATION

Well, we&#39;ll see how it works. Everyone knows electric plug outlet? Go! I have enough dj evokes the config, very simple. I would strongly advise the purchase of a small footswich to make life easier when you want to change channels. ATTENTION: you have a simple FS (mine is a Matrix, efficient, no frills, cheap, super). Translation: you can change channels, but not enable / disable the reverb with the foot.

Yes, I know, then, yes ... Commenons by the channel knobs clear the volume is adjustable, but a small j&#39;mets reserved. Below 9 is a bit all or nothing, the knob is better APRS chelon.

In saturated channel was not a right, madam, but two, I mean TWO knobs! Regarding the volume, I do the same lightweight criticism that the channel clear is even more pronounced in drive (clean it for the limit of the silent quibble). The gain is rglage plutt good heel but at least has a little crunch dj, max is the trs, trs saturated (too much for me, but it &#39; really got a question)

Finally, qualiseur 3 bands (bass, middle, treble, incredible, right?) Is effective even if I plutt deprecated (as often elsewhere) rglages the extreme.

The level of reverb knob is easy to use (from left to right and right left ...) and since there is no question of talking about the sound we will have to wait a bit ...

Finally, I would like to speak on behalf of many members of AF that is constantly rabche the name of a manual. For my part, I do not know who he is, but it must be really important in the world of music, because I am always asked if I had my stuff with him. I think in this case that we can do without.

SOUNDS

The heart of the matter? Well, well, if we can blablater ... I bought this amp when I started the guitar, so I had a small combo plutt versatile. The many ports tmoignages affection for this bug enthusiasts does mtal m&#39;tonnent however. I play rock, blues and a tad of jazz, and even when this amp rpond Submitted whenever I need it, say it often.

The clear sound is of quality done everything right: the amp does not blow, the sound is plutt good compared to other amps of the same type. The sound palette is quite wide and your exact dpendra your hardware and your desires. In clean, the reverb sounds plutt well, even if we should not push too much, if not a breath.

The channel is not saturated because my prfr saturation is I got too radical. Also, combine heavy distortion and reveb and you&#39;ll get without playing a single note, a good old schhhhhhhhhhhhschshchhhhhhhh families! That said, it&#39;s normal for this product line. But it is also the one regrets the absence of a loop in which a noise gate would have cleaned all a. ..

Looks like I&#39;m STRID as a, but no! I quibble but it is also informed that as a ... Besides, I always use it with pleasure. Although sr, I do not use the channel because I drive a few pedals which, upstream of a noise gate, do the job. I sometimes even a bit of Global Warming with his prampli Presonus Blue Tube lamp type or something like a.

Previous notice to return, yes it spit this thing! A ct of some 100 W, it is quite audible, even if good for group play, forget, unless your friends are not, but then not really nags. That said, I remember one 50W bottom has a good chance of better sound with a master 100W noon (trs is true for the lamps, and a little true for transos).

Finally, if you breath on the clean channel when you connect the BTE, remember that it&#39;s not his fault: it is your electrical installation is the pick (and often ...).

OVERALL OPINION

Overall opinion ... Yeah, what about? We will follow the FA to fill the box ... Let&#39;s see ... I or reused for ten years ending for (!)... The particular feature I like most ... Well, say the clean channel and the solid ct hyper hyper hyper reliable practice amp ... the least ... Must still be determined even though the saturation, at the same time is not an amp for mtalleux, do not EXAGRES ...

Acqurir before, I knew that slab, I had not tried even then other ... That said, now I have tried many small combos now, it remains one of my prfrs, and I do not think it is only sentimental ...

Report qualitprix ... ben the era I lived with my parents hooks, so good, I think I&#39;d touch around 700 F the era, or the same price as today. At this rate the is a good plan, has always used. I think it was worth the shot in time, mine is like new and yet he saw a lot of beer of any trs prs everything a. Difficult to say whether I would do the same choice today, the offer is no longer the same, there is a Harley Benton 5W All Tube less than 100 euros in Thotho which said the greater good. .. I put 9 for solidity copy.
