Ugly overdrive
RubenV87 25.07.2023
Pros:

- Beautiful looks with the blue lights
- Insanely loud for such a small amp
- Ideal for both home and stage use because of the ability to switch from 0 Watt (silent for line), 1, 5 and 20 Watt
- Sound: the amount of bass makes you tremble, incredibly loud
- Clean channel sounds crystal clear
- Overdrive/boost channel can be nice for guitar solo's exclusively
- Comes with a nice bag

Cons:
This is about the overdrive & boost channel only:

- EQ function is very limited. You either get a HUGE extreme bassy gritty tone OR a super thin tone with poor attack. I totally miss the versatility in this function. If you are a (hard) rock/heavy metal riff/rythm guy, this amp won't make you happy
- Lack of mid tones. I just couldn't dial in a warm, stable driven middy sound, because the extreme grit keeps overruling every setting you apply. Turning down the gain, treble and/or mid knob, makes a terrible thin and dull sound
- It's too fuzzy. I love a stable drive/distortion, but this amp doesn't seem to be able to offer that. It sounds like either the overdriven tone is peaking all the time (the fuzzy sound) when you turn up the gain OR your tone doesn't have attack when turning it down. Adjusting the EQ didn't help. Also tried combining a Tubescreamer and an Empress distortion pedal with it. Clean channel with both pedals didn't help either. I guess this just is the amp's sound and I don't like it.

Beautiful clean sound. If you like constant fuzz tones and extreme grit and bass in your overdrive, this is a nice amp. Don't buy this when you search for a warm, punchy and clean overdrive sound.
