Title: Four Force EM-1?
Post by: DIYmastermind on November 22, 2013, 03:07:02 AM

So apparently there was a new amp maker at namm that took the best amp title. A solid state amp, with a heck of a price, that claimed to sound like a tube amp. Don't they all? Anywho, it has a plastic cab, which I've never even seen. They're rated 5 watts through a ten inch speaker, and weigh next to nothing. They come in three different finishes and each look menacingly like darth vaders guitar amp. Anyone have any experience with one? At that price, i don't think I'll be able to resist with the holidays coming up. reliability? sound? someone please give me the lowdown before i die of GAS!!!

Really inexpensive at $119 on their website. I'd be interested to play it in person, but honestly I'm not super impressed myself - might just be the demo though.

Well, You Tube demos are quite poor quality.
First for their lossy compression, optimized *only* to save bandwidth, and then the usually poor quality of PC audio and speaker systems.
It's a reference, at best.

And sometimes, not even that.

Just look at this Corcel Amp demo:

If you want to hear a more proper demo of the amp, I suggest you watch this video:
