Carlsbro cobra 90 lead manual

I did manage to make it distort, but to do that I had to turn the keyboard and all the channel controls up full. So if you're prepared not to be an utter utter utter like I was, you will get out of the Cobra 90 almost exactly what you put in. Which is what you want from a keyboard amplifier.

The amp's design is impressively simple. There are no expensive graphics, no dodgy parametrics, or unreliable built-in effects - there's nothing unnecessary to go wrong. The switchable Effects Loop is a valuable addition, which gives mucho flexibility. I proved this by bunging a Yamaha RX11 through the Cobra; using a drum machine with individual outs, it was possible to separate out the snare drum from the summed outputs, giving it a channel to itself.

I then ran a reverb on the Effects Loop, only switching it into the snare channel. Good splashy snare, without losing the solidity of the bass and other drums.

Back to keyboards. It does the job with few complaints. Running three simultaneously can make the sound muddy at the bottom end, but that serves you right for being Rick Wakeman. Mind you, I have complaints: half a hundredweight is heavy for an amp with one handle, particularly such an unforgiving one. Carlsbro should realise that players purchasing the Cobra 90 are unlikely to have roadies to get callouses for them, and that the last thing you want before a gig is sore or strained fingers.

How about a handle each side? That's a small point, though. Overall, the Cobra 90 is a thoroughly commendable workhorse of an amp, which does the job without even being too dull. And it's British.
