40W Tube Combo (4XECC83 preamp, power 4XEL84 +), three channels, clean, OD1 and OD2 (OD1 20 dB, a spring reverb, a master volume (super convenient to not break down your walls when you play in an apartment ... ) and set the effects loop. Well, basically everything has been said before me ...
I'm not 10/10 principle ...
UTILIZATION
- The config and the handling is super simple;
- I mainly play rock, hard rock and heavy 80's, well, there's no picture, sound is there, right there! in addition, good surprise for me is clearly the clean channel (no pun intended ...), which is crappy I find quite convincing, with colors and curves heated through and crisp (!!), perfect for picking on the folk ballads and blues. Note that in pushing out the gain of the clean channel you get a really nice crunch to play rock in the 70's Creedence and company ...
- The clean equalization are effective, they are slightly less OD1 or OD2 in the channel, even if the range of settings, expanded more than respectable with practice (it's been a week since I ...)
SOUNDS
- It is perfect for my style of music and my expectations (I had tried the fender hotrod deluxe ben ... and it's not for me, j'men suspected as much but hey, Ok the clean channel is nice, but I found it too dry, especially the crunch channel is almost non-existent ... even with a good pedal ...)
- I play it with a Yamaha AES 620, with its original pickups (Seymour Duncan SH4 JB in the bridge and a micro Yamaha Alnico 5 in the handle), I intend to change the neck pickup to a SD SH2 Jazz, while the Marshall I find it really less rough than before (must say that I have abandoned my old Park 10 W I started ... yeah, I know ...)
- As said before, sounds (between the clean channel and two OD) cover well the range I was looking for ... and even more so is the clean sound a little dirty (even if you can get clear sound "clean" ) to the bluesy, up to the right of families to large distortion of the heavy (even with the metal or metallica deftones). And with a pedal and an EQ in my opinion it should not have to push to be able to bcp the large metal ...
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a week and that's the ball!
I love everything about him!
Quality / price ratio, € 850 buy in stores with nine two-year warranty, well it's very expensive qd, for sure ... but hey, I really regret not my investment, and I must say I am more more surprised by the opinions I have read on the forums ...
I would do this choice, this combo is perfect for my needs and my tastes, because anyway, it's still a matter of taste, and must try before you buy!
Edit 11/06: after three months of intensive use, confirmed opinion, excellent, versatile, clear sound amazing, top saturation, it is a pleasure to play this combo, I took a liking to the guitar since I, and I became much more demanding with my game ..!!!
Musical greetings.
