HD25 : Works great with both cello and guitar

3 years ago

Bought it primarily as an amp for electric cello, and it works quite well. Cello is low quality Harley Benton product and sound is not as full and rich as acoustic cello, but it is very close. Built in EQ helps to get it closer to what the cellist had in mind.

I also tested it with nylon stringed acoustic guitar. With default settings the lows were way too much and booming, which is kinda expected from a bass amp. But after fiddling with EQ in amp and in the guitar, the sound turned out okay, so in a pinch this could also be used as an amp for a regular guitar.
