I haven't really got much recorded to show off the DFM preamp I'm afraid, but I have a video of my fretless 6er, which has the DFM, but no MC pickups. I also posted some recordings of some Flea lines in another thread, trying to ape his tone on Blood Sugar Sex Magik. This is was my Uber Finn 5er, which has the MC pickups and a DFM preamp. Hope that helps! On a side note, I you certainly won't be disappointed if you go for an ACG, they are incredible instruments! Eude

This model isn't so old, but I appreciate the previous versions had been around a LONG time. https://www.boss.info/uk/products/dual_cube_bass_lx/

Oh, and the TC Electronic TonePrint stuff has the option of using some reverbs I believe?

The Roland Cube Combos have some built in stuff?

4 years and it will all be over, one way or another Gives Peavey plenty of time to get all this stuff right.

I actually think that their gear was so well designed and built that perhaps they had to change things to try and get folks to buy new gear? Sadly they just went in the wrong direction. They could really do something here though, if they keep this 70s, 80s and even 90s look going with reissue style products, built with modern features. Sadly, Peavey don't currently seem to be able to do anything quickly For obvious reasons, hopefully, I'm not going to be buying anything new fro the US any time soon, but hopefully in 4 years time there might be some cool stuff to ponder.

Yes, but I expect it's the same power stage as the newish Trace 1200W job. That sounds wonderful and is very very loud. Peavey and now Trace too have never taken the pee with their ratings, even with class D. If it's 1200W it's 1200W.

Yup, the main board covers the entirety of the face of the amp, and they're not keen on a redesign. A real shame, as they are one of the best amps on the market, but it feels like they've been left behind a bit. That said, I'd have another in a heartbeat, and if I ever ended up on bigger stages again, I would absolutely have one.

I'm really happy to see this. I loved Peavey stuff back in the day, even the 90s stuff. I really hope they keep running with this homage effort. They've re released the Decade and there's a handful of new preamp pedals, all with the classic 80s and not so classic 90s styling.

I think it's a "slap ramp" to tighten up the popping part of the equation.

That's a fair point, I'll wind it in a bit. I guess the differentiator here is that both Tech21 and DarkGlass make a lot of the kind of pedals I was talking about, so they will get it right, unlike the rest of them

Sadly just another Class D amp, with an unnecessary Drive circuit. I think I speak for a lot of us bassists in that, if we want drive, we already have pedals that do that for us. I can't ever recall hearing a drive circuit built into an amp even come close to a well considered pedal for the same thing. Why do these guys keep doing this?! Surely it would make more sense to build in a decent compressor, or maybe a blend for the effects loop, something more useful...

Warwick have a new amp range, that looks very interesting. This appears to be the flagship... https://shop.warwick.de/en/amplifier/bass-amps/bass-amp-heads/40799/warwick-ms-800-multi-stage-bass-amp-head-with-usb-interface-800-watt?c=3622

But you found a pic

Here you go! https://www.gallien-krueger.com/rb-legacy It's not very compact, and it's VERY ugly IMHO, however it's a proper proper amp, Class H apparently?

The last round of Sire releases, they soft launched first, and then made some tweaks based on user and industry feedback, before you could order them. They might change the headless hardware to reduce, or maybe even eliminate that overhang, maybe...

I see Seymour Duncan are releasing an amp this year.

Oh, very cool! If they could make a more compact chassis, but keep an old school power stage, that would be marvellous! I have a Legacy, and I actually like it a lot, since getting the right cab for it, but I do yearn for some old school power goodness, although, my back does not. Having grown up playing through the 90s and 00s, I miss the comparatively effortless power that we took for granted back then, from properly powerful old school solid state units, Trace and Peavey in my case. Class D is OK, but what we had before was better, way better actually, just bigger and heavier. Whoever can really crack the proper power stage in a small box puzzle can have my money!

Wasn't the Legacy Range meant to be the RB?

Wow!

That is magnificent! I've well and truly gone way down the custom rabbit hole to be all that interested in a lot of other basses these days, but I will always have a thing for Warwicks, and that is a super fine example, congratulations! (also very much looking forward to seeing this new Shuker of yours when it lands!) Cheers, Eude

That's a real stunner!

I realised I hadn't shared pics of the Salace E Type 4 string which arrived last year. Will need to get an updated family shot sorted!

Lovely shot dude. I wondered where that Cocobolo topped RetroB had ended up. Enjoy them 😎

Thank you so much for sharing, this one is my favourite!
