Thanks for clarifying that! I had my suspicions but wasn't too sure. All makes sense now. I had this idea in my head that by shoving twice as much power into the cab it would shift more air, this is of course not the case . I should probably just take the plunge and fork out for a Hydrive 115 and be done

Hi there, Was just putting all my gear in a new rack case and was putting a splitter in to have mp3 player and guitar plugged in at the same time, and wondered... If I was to put one of these splitter cables (Y-Harness, female to 2 males), in both the speaker outputs of my Hartke LH500 and then plug them into the one input on my Hartke Hydrive 410, would I be able to send the double the power to the cab, and effectively send the full 500w from the amp (rather than the 250 or whatever it is with one output at 8ohms), or would it just go pop? The cab is rated at 1000watts at 8ohms. So it would look something like this.. LH500 Output><---\____<>Hydrive 410 Input LH500 Output><---/ Rather than the usual... LH500 Output><---\____<>Hydrive 410 Input LH500 Output| I tried to work it out logically but have no experience to draw upon for this particular example! Roob

Good idea Kermitnt. Just a thought, I have done all the editing and listening etc through nice headphones, which might be making it easier to hear bass frequencies etc. Perhaps it will sound different through a set of desktop speakers?

Is "Cover" a swearword here?

Little update, did 1 practice with it and it sounded good, although still need time to get it dialed in suitably with the rest of the band. Second practice it died on me. I had power, as the light was on for the power switch, but no sound at all. Plugged in the MAG300 they had there and problem went. No idea whats wrong, will have a fiddle and take it back to the shop if I have no luck. Anyone else ever had reliability issues with Hartke?

Yeah, I did have a listen to the Juggernaught on their website. It did sound a bit odd, certainly not what I was after. The RAT sounds nice though. Suspect I will be adding one to the shopping list

Had a look at the Pro co website, are the RAT and Turbo RAT for guitars? The Juggernaught seems to be specifically for bass, or am I right in thinking it doesn't really matter? Signal goes in...box does it's work...signal comes out, regardless of the instrument .

Hmm, will try switching pedals around to see if there is a noticeable difference. Got a mains power lead for it, battery in bass is brand new. Will do a check though incase it's a dud. Steve - I remember reading about that, possibly mine has finally gone. Thanks for the suggestions.

Hi, Got two pedals currently. A Zoom 607 and an Ibanez PD7 Phathead. I recently repaired the Zoom (loose 1/4 jack), resoldered it onto the PCB inside. However the PD7 seems to have lost it's distortion and OD almost completely. I.e. when it's turned on, sometimes it sounds no different to my clean signal, and sometimes it has only a slight effect. Last night it died completely and I had to remove it from my setup to allow me to play. Is it time for me to bin it? If I do end up getting another, examples of the sound I am after would be "Blur - Song2" and "Feeder - Buck Rogers". Any suggestions? I was never quite able to get the right sound out of the PD7, but I can't decide if thats because it was faulty or because it wasn't what I was after. Oh one more thing...does the way I have my pedals setup have any effect on the sound I will get? Thanks.

Selfish bump... Anyone had a listen? Don't have to give any feedback, just interest to know if anyone managed to listen without turning it off halfway through .

Picked up a LH500 this morning, plumbed it into my Behringer...wow...even on a less than superb cab like that it sounds fantastic, highly reccomended! Girlfriend was complaining her desk was shaking upstairs Now for the 115 ...

Fantastic idea. However looking at the list, I will probably have saved up the pennies and bought one before it reaches Ipswich!

Well...I tried the LH500 and Hydrive 115, and it has completely changed my opinion of other brands. I'm sold. Its so easy to get the sound I was after with that (and the power...oh my), whereas I felt like I was fiddling most of the time by comparison with the Ashdown kit. Alex - Is there much of a waiting list on your compact at the moment? Lemmywinks - I'm in Ipswich, couldn't be further away! Also investigating whether I have a car big enough to fit the VX215 in! Fiat 500 or Mazda RX-8 to choose from...neither very suitable .
