[quote name='alexharvay' post='741732' date='Feb 11 2010, 08:54 AM']I've just posted this picture on the pedal boards thread. I think this is a good solution: [/quote] Wow, good work there. How do you access the main power inputs? The ones at the back of the power supply?

I want to install a VodooLab Pedal Power 2 underneath my Pedaltrain Junior. The only way to do it is by drilling two wholes on the back plate of the board so I can access the power inputs. Does anyone know where can I take it to have it drilled? Would it be expensive?

Are the Gramma pads useful as well on wheeled cabs? I remember reading somewhere that the wheels and the rubber feet already provide some isolation but I'm not sure if this he case or not...Any ideas? For a Bergantino NV610, I'll be looking at the Gret Gramma, right?

I've just adquired a Mese 400+, I collected it yesterday eveningg, and I've just tried for the first time. I've come accross afew things that I don't really know if they are usual/nomal on this amps. here we go: - When I turn the amp on from Standby, with master and volume all the way down, I get this pop/rattly noise, a bit loud, and same thing happens when going into stanby mode. This doesn't happen at all with my Ampeg SVT head. - I've notice there is a big difference in volume between channel 1 and 2. With the Master at 5 and the Volume on 4, channel 2 is twice as loud as channel one, big difference in volume, with channel one the amp doensn't get that loud even if you go up to 10. - One of the valve lights up less than the rest of them. Please, Mesa Owners or those of you that have owned this amp, are this issues normal on this amp?

I'm looking for a rolling rack case for my Mesa 400+ which is 4 rack units..Will it fit in a regular 4U rack case? I've seen these three so far: [url="http://www.gatorcases.com/Default.aspx?Section=Products&Page=Details&CategoryID=4488&CatalogID=9717"]http://www.gatorcases.com/Default.aspx?Sec...;CatalogID=9717[/url] [url="http://www.skbcases.com/music/products/proddetail.php?f=&id=147&o=&offset=2&c=117&s=80"]http://www.skbcases.com/music/products/pro...;c=117&s=80[/url] [url="http://www.themusicking.co.uk/4u-abs-rack-case-with-integrated-trolley"]http://www.themusicking.co.uk/4u-abs-rack-...egrated-trolley[/url] Which one offers better quality? Any other recommendations? Thanks!

Matt, what a great guy to deal with. I got a Sterling HH from him and the bass is lovely, exactly as he described it...it's a real beauty. Always a pleasure Matt and I hope you enjoy your new Precision.

Any experiences wit this amp paired with Bergantino NV cabs? I'm using a Berg NV610 and I'm wondering if it would be a good match for this cab.

Yes guys, I agree with you, I don't think Ashdown amps are bad, in fact I remember a few years ago I had one of their older ABM combos and I really like the sound plus I've seen a few bands live using them and the tone was good. I'll probably pop in to GAK check the mesa stuff and maybe if they have one in the shop a Orange bass Terror. I'm quite keen on Genz Benz becuase I can get one at a really good price and I like the two blendable channels option... Does any of you know if the GBE 750 will be a good match for my Bergantino NV610?

[quote name='EmaTheMirror' post='733352' date='Feb 2 2010, 07:33 PM']I think you should specify what kind of tone you'd like from the more portable head and the budget... I have an Ashdown ABM which I love, but that'd be the choice for a similar tone character, which is not what I guess you want. For a more hi-fi (I'd prefer to call it "transparent") choice, you might want to try David Eden (expensive though), "our" Mark Bass (too "transparent" for my taste but well built), Gallien... for a good-value-for-price choice I'd go for an Ashdown, unless you hate their tone... I've never tried one, but I know that the MarkKing Ashdown head is more on the clean side than their other products. Since you have the VT pedal you might also consider to buy just a power amp as well, though it's not that easy to find a good and really portable stand-alone PA[/quote] Well, I still want that kind of warm tone so I'm also considering an Ashdown ABM head, I'm not really into Hi-Fi sounding amps. Any idea if Ashdown heads go well with Bergantino cabs?
