    [quote name='AttitudeCastle' timestamp='1424646259' post='2698818'] Love it! I do this all the time. Though usually have grit on the "clean" signal as then the two tones meld together better. Also find a thicker/higher gain tone (some crunchy fuzzes work for this. EQ's Muff or a Mastotron I found sound the best!) for the octave tone to stop it sounding to "precise". I've experimented with, and like having clean signal and an octave up and one tone for some really huge roaring tone haha! [/quote] It was as much about proving the concept as experimenting with sound

    Latest iteration. POG goes to guitar amp and switcher, switches [URL=http://s420.photobucket.com/user/spongebob_sqaurepants/media/02F22AB4-C6F9-45B1-BABD-DD5D1F27B23E_zpsme74uq6n.jpg.html][IMG]http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp287/spongebob_sqaurepants/02F22AB4-C6F9-45B1-BABD-DD5D1F27B23E_zpsme74uq6n.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

    Okay. This is a video of my first go at biamping. [URL="http://youtu.be/211aH34lHhA"]http://youtu.be/211aH34lHhA[/URL] Hopefully the link will work as its my first upload to YouTube. Sound quality not brilliant as recorded it on my phone. It goes Clean bass Octave up through guitar amp Both.

    [quote name='Kevin Dean' timestamp='1424120653' post='2692950'] The Lightweight Ashdown ABM stuff is very good , a hell of a lot more balls compared to my Mark Bass little Rocker & Mo Mark . [/quote] For me, the tone of the LM was as much about the A/B poweramp as it was the pre. They don't have that anymore. I remember we trying a LM800 and thinking it sounded nothing like my LM3

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1424085095' post='2692303'] It's true - nothing beats the heft and slam you get from huge iron transformers in a tube power section. The only two SS power-stage amps I would say have any kind of balls in that direction are the G-K MB500 Fusion and the GB Streamliner 900, one of which you may have used already if you've had a 3-tube pre. The best overall for me was the Burman SL100 PowerPak which was huge, full-range and had custom-wound transformers. Greg Burman found Partridge transformers were not up to his requirements... I've got seller's remorse now. [/quote] I had a Purple Chili Phat Bass head but the principle was the same. It was a great compromise against the hiwatt in weight as the tone was as close as made no difference BUT it still didn't have the heft, back aching, grin inducing effect that only vlaves and iron can give

    If I'm honest I've missed the Vlavle Power amp, having had a 3 tube pre with class D power amp. There is something about it that all my class D stuff can't touch and the OBC115 is a good compromise between weight and size. Do I wish I had kept by Berg NV412? Yes and no. I'm liking the visiual of the orange rig but the berg would have paid cities to wast

    [quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1424032624' post='2691849'] Apparently they weigh about 26kg...similar to a bag of cement, or 2 concrete blocks if my memory serves me right. [/quote] It's still 10kg lighter than my last valve head so it's a win. Ish

    Well the head is 10kg lighter than the Hiwatt I had and not as wide so that's a bonus

    Having ditched my Purple Chili Class D head and neodymium speakered light weight cabs I find myself with this [URL=http://s420.photobucket.com/user/spongebob_sqaurepants/media/F5EB6869-0312-400A-BD69-8272A168369C_zpstnsdn2mg.jpg.html][IMG]http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp287/spongebob_sqaurepants/F5EB6869-0312-400A-BD69-8272A168369C_zpstnsdn2mg.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s420.photobucket.com/user/spongebob_sqaurepants/media/3616F9B7-68E2-4349-B267-80088E1B4760_zps9wokw8yj.jpg.html][IMG]http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp287/spongebob_sqaurepants/3616F9B7-68E2-4349-B267-80088E1B4760_zps9wokw8yj.jpg[/IMG]

    [quote name='solo4652' timestamp='1422964787' post='2678860'] Thanks. Perhaps you could run a tape measure over it and give us the dimensions as well? [/quote] 19" x12" x 8"

    [quote name='solo4652' timestamp='1422963605' post='2678837'] Thank you. Would it be possible to pop it on your bathroom scales to get a reasonably accurate weight, please? [/quote] I don't have any bit I'll see if I can weigh it in kitchen scales

    [quote name='solo4652' timestamp='1422959389' post='2678753'] How much does it weigh, please? [/quote] Never weighed it but I'd guess no more than 10lbs. Most likely less. 5lbs maybe
