Amp lamp, visit the link given in the first comment made (I do not know if the first comment is at the top or bottom;))

WARNING: as already stated, 30W lamp Mesa is already a lot of sound. In addition, equal volume (in decibels) with other amps so good, you will hear the Mesa because it is more accurate. And finally, I have friends who play with a Fender Hot Road 60W, and a MesaBoogie F50 (50W) ... The poor will curse themselves for having taken so powerful, they are at least amp for concerts in the concert hall style cafe / bar, and suddenly the lights are useless to them.

30W is perfect.

The F30 is not that combo, you can buy the head only, but honestly, the difference in price and less than 100euros (about 1500), while the HP that is inside is worth easily 500 !

UTILIZATION

So here&#39;s how we try to get a good sound with this amp ... ON THE CAR!
on the other hand, you need a little search to find YOUR sound good. And make no mistake, if your amp is new and this is the first time you hear the sound of killer, you may find it below what it really is. I advise everyone to test multiple configurations, each for at least 30 minutes!

The footswitch (included) is effective, even if it lacks a little something in my opinion: it is possible to choose the contour of the foot or distortion to the amp, for against, the outline of his clean only can be changed to the amp.

The manual of the amp is in English, but it gives a lot of advice to continue his amp (like not to push too acute, and many other small details yet).

SOUNDS

The clean sound: very accurate, and unlike other amps (I played on Marshall), mediums exist! This allows for a very clear and rich. But playing a few adjustments, you will find a fast one with lots of character (and character you choose, if not it wonderful?)

The Crunch: I&#39;m not the expert crunch, I would simply say that it is the same quality as the rest of the amp. As soon as one goes up a little gain (more than 4 for example), we can make it sound like a distortion.

The disto: wonderful. While having a powerful sound (strong, oh yes!), Of round or shouting depending on your settings, you can hear every note of your dealings out of the amp. Sorry for those who love to have a big sound disgusting or it does not distinguish any harmonic or sometimes a beat (I sometimes wonder if for some of them is simply to hide their weaknesses guitarists), but the F30, you can be the powerful, rich, and clean. I makes me happy.

For recording studio sound engineers are all fallen in love with my amp, it remains on the ass so the sound is nice and clean, and NOT STRAY!

REVIEW: I play melodic punk sometimes taking to the pop rock ... I wanted the music very melodic but full of energy. The sound of my guitar is now on its own pure energy and pure melody. The beauty of sound is breathtaking. (I play a Fender Telecaster Esquire Custom GT, but I also tried with my Yamaha, always very very good)

The F30 contains an HP combo Celestion Vintage. This is precisely the HP makes the best sound this creature. But for those who want a heart attack with a volume worthy of the big scenes, and with a definition so pure it will make you cry, I recommend the celestion vintage MESABOOGIE 4HP (the same exists in Marshall, with the same HP, but not the same wood or the same fabrication, and I assure you that the result is not the same !!!).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for some time (too soon), just a month, but still I play 5 hours a day (too little time, as I said), and a friend seller was already playing on this amp since its creation, so in fact I know this amp for a long time.

My favorite in the F30, it&#39;s really all. It knows no flaws in my view (for what I plan to make an amp). He has a great mouth, its small size and the fact that it&#39;s a combo (when all the pros are proud to have head + HP) mean that most people do not prepare to hear a sound so fabulous, if powerful. The surprise only reinforces the admiration that people have for the F30.

I went through different amps, but the F30 is my first all-tube amp. I squat a lot of my amps lamps guitar teacher too, H & K notament. I tried many amps in the store as well. I did not set any limit to the price (well, until 4000euros), and guess why I chose this amp!

The price / quality ratio is incredible. Yes, it&#39;s expensive 1500euros, but 3000&#39;s double. There are amps that are much more expensive to do more, perhaps, but not flying the F30 key on (its clean, crunch and distortion). And me anyway, I find it nice not too far from what a guitar sound at the base. I compare it with a little synthesizer that mimics the violin ... I prefer the violin, in its pure essence. Moreover, the amps transistors cheaper you let go much faster, resulting in repair costs and replacement. In the end, you&#39;ll spend a little less in the long term with amps that you have much less satisfied. We must make a choice there!

Thank you for having read everything, I know that I was a little long, but I really pierces the cu *** this amp, you had to come out! (Yes it is because a big amp)
