So managed to be able to play this above 1 without annoying the neighbours
I set all the eq to 12 O clock, valve pre amp gain to 12 O clock,pre amp volume to 12 and master volume 9o clock. Man this is loud! Real big improvement from the Trace tone it has a lot of umph in it and sounds powerful.
I turned the master to 10 O clock for a laugh, going by my experiance with TE going up one notch really did f*** all, but this was big and I started feeling it in my chest which to me is what its about. I rolled off a bit of 2k and it sounds lovely, the S12 really seems to match well with the GB shuttle 9. I am really pleased with my new set up and the first time in 11-12 years there is no sign of no Trace Elliot!
What I really love is now how easy all my stuff is to move,bass on the back,S9 in the case on the shoulder and the S12 being carried. Really easy!
I should add that all the DVDs upstairs fell off the shelf!
