  1. How does the AD200 compare to the HD150? Which do you prefer?
  2. Heres my rig. Ampeg SVT CL and Orange AD200. Both sound great through the SVT212!
  3. Took my new AD200 to rehearsal to make sure it’s all good after a full re-valve. Sounded huge! Was only using the bottom cab.
  4. The port on the side can be used with a tap to change through the presets and you can also use the man footswitch by holding it down, according to the manual on page 6 https://www.jimdunlop.com/content/manuals/MB301.pdf There is a lot of functionality that wasn't mentioned on the videos it seems.
  5. Great runthrough of the pedal by IMA!
  6. Tried out my new cab at rehearsal this week, SVT-CL and SVT212AV
  7. Bought this off a mate, practically unused, sat in its hard case most of its life. Plays lovely! Strung it up with Rotosound 66’s.
  8. How do you find the little bass thing? Tempted to get one of these
  9. Hi, I've got an Ampeg SVT Classic which has a noisy fan, which rattles on startup. Does anyone know how to get the front panel below the controls off? The only videos I've seen of anyone tackling this shows them going in through the back all the Valves having to come out! Thanks in advance.
  10. How do you find the SVT III ? Don't see many of the Non - Pros about, whats the difference?
  11. Is there any news about a spring SE Bass Bash?
  12. Brought out the big rig for the gig last Friday… SVT-CL and SVT410H
  13. Used the venue’s backline last night, never tried a Blackstar bass amp before but it sounded great! First time using IEMs too, made a big difference!
  14. Rehearsals tonight for a couple of gigs next week. Decided to bring the full rig. Mesa TT800 and Subway 210 cabs.
  15. Hi all, I recently came into possession of an Aguilar AG700, which came up for a good price and the GAS got the better of me! Upon using the amp it became aparent that despite the lovely deep clear tone, there was also another noise: The fans! Which were very distracting in practice/low noise situations, so I decided to do something about it. The amp ships with shall 50x10mm fans, which according to the datasheet spin upwards of 6000rpm, which is mad (And Loud!) Upon measuring the dimensions and surfing the internet, I settled on the Noctua A6x25mm fans. These spin a. Lot slower, and are much bigger so they actually move air while being quieter than the standard ones, result! The next task was to design some way of mounting the fans in the amp. The whole on the back was too small to accept the New fan. I used Fusion 360 to design a bracket that would allow me to mount a 60mm fans to a 50mm mount. This uses M3 screws and lock nuts to mount to the case and the fan to the adapter. Next was the side fan. For this? I recreated the bent metal bracket on fusion, but adapted it for a 60mm fan. Following this was powering the fans. The original fans connect to 2 pin connectors on the preamp board. In order to connect the new fans, I took the 4 pin to 3 pin adapter that Noctua provides and spliced 2 pin connectors onto it and connected the news fans to the board. I used zipties to tie the cables out the way. The results were great, amp is basically silent now, you can just about hear it if you put your ear to it, which is how it should be! Plenty of airflow coming out the side as well, so it'll stay cool! A note for those who try this: It does void the warranty. This amp is 6 years old, so is well out of warranty. I accept no liability for those who try this. Amps are dangerous even when turned off, and extreme caution should be taken when opening an amp.
