You'll find very few people here who own one, I fear.
I have one, but haven't heard it, as it has been on loan from new. But as I fear you will hardly get an informed response, here is all I know - which isn't much.


A bassist who tried it at my friend's house was wildly enthusiastic about it, and wanted one for himself. I don't know that bassist, so this is the tiniest of contribution.

Another thing to note is that the "Effects" and "Comp" (I assume this is a built in compressor) are footswitchable with a double switch with stereo jack. At Thomann that thing costs £10.43. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/lead_foot_fs2.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...ad_foot_fs2.htm[/url] . Cable only 3.5 meters though. Bought one locally with 6 meter cable.

FWIW, I bought the combo on the strength of my often mentioned Beta Aivin 35W combo (identical to [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_hbw35.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...enton_hbw35.htm[/url] ), which in my humble opinion tackles everything from fretless mwaah to slapping with "bravour", and which I far prefer above a 30W Roland Cube at double the price.


That is all I know. Still hope you get a better answer.

Edit: NO, I know a lot more! I also know that the user manual stinks. It tells you how to change the parameters of the built-in effects, but doesn't tell you exactly which parameters are available, or even how many parameters there are. So if you want to use them, you'll have to experiment and listen.


best,
bert

Someone's selling an Ampeg B-115 combo for £80 in Somerset and someone else is selling an SWR Workingman's 10 for £115 somewhere else on the forum. You'd be silly not to go for either of these.

Both way way better in my opinion.
