20/12/2011L'avis de Pi r"Très beau grain, très belle dynamique."
Amplification à lampes.
2 canaux, partageant une équalisation commune.
1HP 12 pouces, de très bonne diffusion.
18 Watts. Très dynamique, même à faible volume. Je ne l'ai pas encore poussé pour enregistrer. Cette puissance me suffit amplement dans toutes les situations.
Boucle d'effet. Connectable à un autre HP (impédance au choix).
UTILISATION
Ampli très simple à manipuler. Pas besoin de manuel. On obtient facilement un bon son saturé. Je règle ensuite le volume/gain du son clair, dont 'égalisation dépend alors du réglage saturé.
SONORITÉS
Je joue du rock, et les deux canaux me vont très bien.
Les sons sont plutôt veloutés et chauds, peu agressifs, mais nerveux tout de même. Très dynamiques surtout.
J'y branche une Les Paul, une Lag Roxanne, une Telecaster. J'ai une palette de sons nouvelle à chaque guitare.
En son clair, j'y ajoute une reverb nano grail, un delay deluxe memory bo, un tremolo empress. En saturé, je le joue pour l'essentiel sans effet. Je booste mes solos à l'aide d'une tube screamer (qui ne l'a jamais aussi bien fait que sur cet ampli). L'ampli répond à tous ces effets à merveille.
AVIS GLOBAL
Je l'utilise depuis 6 mois.
J'ai une bonne connaissance de ce qui se fait en tête+4x12 (JCM 800, single rectifier notamment). J'ai eu besoin de trouver quelque chose de plus petit (transport, meilleure utilisation des lampes, du haut parleur). J'ai donc essayé bon nombre de combos de "faible" puissance, et de poids léger chez Vox, Fender, Mesa, Orange, Rivera. C'est celui qui m'a le plus plu.
Ce que j'aime, c'est son grain saturé, riche, très défini. Il perce le mix, il ne lui manque aucune fréquence. Superbe dynamique également. J'adore aussi son faible poids (19kg), ainsi que sa très bonne diffusion sonore (je viens du 4x12, et j'avais des craintes sur cet aspect).
J'aime moins son son clair. Idéalement, j'aurais un fender à côté. Mais je ne sais pas très bien faire sonner les sons clairs on dirait. On peut également lui reprocher de ne pas pouvoir sonner métal (bon taux de saturation, mais ce 'est pas le rectifier tout de même).
Tous les amplis testés dans cette gamme de prix lui étaient inférieurs : moins de dynamique, moins de grain. En comparaison, leurs sons étaient "fermés", et minuscules. Il vaut donc son prix. Je n'ai pas testé d'ampli à plus de 2000 euros par contre (Bogner, Bad Cat..).
Avec l'expérience, je referai ce choix. Cela ne m'empèchera cependant pas de changer d'ampli un de ces quatre, par curiosité et passion du son.

29/01/2012L'avis de James... (contenu en anglais)"A fat hazy awesome amp"
The superdrive 18 is one my all time personal favorite amps. Partly because of how simple it is. And how perfect it can really be if you give it a chance.
The design is pretty vox esque. 18 watts. EQ section. Master, volume, drive. Not a complicated amp at all. El84 tubes of course.
UTILIZATION
I have had my superdrive combo for a long long time. I've tried a lot of speakers in it. Including a celestion blue. At the end of the day, the budda stock speaker is actually one of the best speakers you can put in there. It kind of depends what you are going for honestly. This amp can cover a ton of territory. It's not hard to set up. I like to play mine with a Gretsch duo jet most of the time. I play it primarily at church. No matter what other 18 watters I put it up against, it holds its own consistently. Takes pedals like a champ. All you really need is a good delay, a good overdrive, and some mod pedal of your choice to make this a real weapon.
SOUNDS
The Superdrive is fat but not muddy. It has a haze in the low end and a sweetness in the high end. It never sounds harsh...ever. The eq can go a long way toward getting the specific sound you need. As far as gain goes, the superdrive is probably best utilized for those mid gain sounds, or edge of breakup clean sounds. It really rides the area between vox and marshall magnificently. It has the verocity of a plexi with the heavenly jingle of a vox. I really really like the mid gain tones best though. It is just killer with my Gretsch.
OVERALL OPINION
I think these are a tremendous value. I have sat this thing next to a TopHat Supreme 16 and a matchless spitfire. It hangs with both of them no problem. Try one of these. It's shocking how under the radar budda is considering the value. These are well built reliable amps.

02/06/2011L'avis de iamqman (contenu en anglais)"Fat sounding amp!"
First off this amp is ugly as hell. Nothing about the amp cosmetically is appealing what so ever. From the stupid purple color to the hideous control knobs. It is as Budda set out to make a pure ugly amp and would stop at nothing to achieve that feat. A hand clap goes out to you guys on a job well done, mission accomplished. However, the amp sound amazing!!! Just hide it behind a Marshall on stage and see if anyone takes notice of how your tone sounds.

SOUNDS
The tones on this amp are extremely fat sounding. They resonate very well with a humbucker style pickup guitar. Especially if you use a superstrat like Charvel or a Suhr guitar. Using a nice maple neck on top of alder body will get that fat tone to open up a lot more to get clean distorted note and string separation. Very great tone for rock and pop music.
OVERALL OPINION
At new these amps come in at around $1400 which may be a bit high for a lot of people, but the tone is extremely good. If you can get over how stupid these amps look.
I would recommend this amp to anyone needing a fat sounding distortion tone very similar to a Soldano SLO and don't want to fork out the money to buy one of those.

This amp is the same amp as the x12 combo that we are used o seeing more of but just in a 2x12 cabinet. You get the same great features and tone as the single speaker combo. However, the tone will slightly be a little more open due to more air being pushing with the extra speaker.

The extra speaker does help the air and the openness of the tone. You still have the same watts but the projection you feel is much different. It is a better thing in my opinion.

OVERALL OPINION
At new these amps come in at around $1600 which may be a bit high for a lot of people, but the tone is extremely good. If you can get over how stupid these amps look. Other than that these are fantastic amps and get a solid usable tone for many music style.
