Countdown
Published on 07/15/12 at 13:42
20w single channel head tube (3 12AX7 preamp and 2 EL84 in power).
Designed by Mike Soldano, amps of the same name!
Who says single channel said little knob ... a 3-band EQ, a gain, master volume and presence.
Tolex black and blue night the most beautiful effect, blue LED also, all for 50cm wide ... I find it soft but class!
It weighs about ten pounds ... little more than a pack of water!
UTILIZATION
Use "could not be more simple!"
We light, heat is allowed some time and it turns on standby ... to get a good overdrive sound.
SOUNDS
This amp is designed to play rock, punk rock, hard rock ...
No metal without TS style pedal, but there is still a good headroom.
I "boostais" sometimes with a MXR ZW OD, and it was really good. A small amount of additional gain. Note that this amp, this OD going better than others I've owned (HT5, Tiny Terror, for example). The report was cleaner, more accurate ...
For 20w, it is still relatively strong. And like many, the quality of the overdrive is felt when passing the midi/13h gain saturation ... with you completely ... I loved it!
It is still difficult to obtain "true" clean with, or when, or 1.5 to the master, or playing the knob on the guitar.
For cons, I have not tried with microphones simple (I did not during this time unfortunately).
Anyway, you do not buy this kind of amp for the clean at high volume.
I did not find super versatile because of the clean, but it should still be in a lot of people, especially as the setting knobs are really effective.
OVERALL OPINION
I used it 6 or 8 months.
I bought it almost to its output. Because everyone was talking about, I wanted to try it ... but my house!
I thoroughly enjoyed this popping sound, round and full.
I regretted in the long absence of an effect loop, and a little reverb. But hey, at first, we know by buying it ... but I wanted to report it because it can be annoying when you're used to!
On some series, the blue LED operating slammed pretty quickly! This did not happen to mine during his stay with me!
I am sorry to be separated, but we can not keep everything at home.
I almost buy it back when liquidating its stock Thomann (189 and 195 euros!) Last spring ... time to decide, there were more!
Ah yes, I forgot! Saturation of this quality at this price ... it's almost given!
