Nope it’s not loud !

They are very nice sounding indeed

Found this as an ex demo model at Guitar Guitar heavily reduced so decided to try it, my first experience of Darkglass amps Build Quality is very good, it’s a very sleek design. Playing it clean sounded very nice, 6 band EQ made it easy to get a warm full sound and a powerful loud sounding amp. The one knob compressor is very good indeed The dual selection drive section is one of the nicest sounding drives for bass, not farty or wooly but just right for rock and more. Then it has the intelligent Footswitch which works off a standard guitar lead and can turn on/off drive and mute the amp. This gets me the sound I wanted and no need for drive pedals etc Very impressed and an amp that does what it does very well

I’m considering the Microtubes 900V2 and it would be an ex demo model so hopefully new enough to not be affected by problem components

I purchased guitars and basses from Peach as I’m not far from Colchester. Their way of selling now ( appointment only visits ) was due to theft from the shop of high end PRS guitars where a couple walked in took them off the rack under their coats and walked out !! They are a decent bunch but their bass amp selection and stock is woeful. The store is like a western saloon and it’s a cool experience with personal attention and help. I think they are a decent store especially for guitars and guitar amps ( high end )

I know folk say these need the master volume cranked more but I tried that and still felt it was gutless

Tested the Ampeg Venture V7 700w amp out today and I was very underwhelmed with it. Firstly it’s not a loud amp for 700w even turning up the master volume felt it had no guts Trying to get a decent loud clean tone was a challenge and the SVT / B15 SGT just made the tone very “ farty” in the low end. The switches feel cheap and the compressor was average at best. The PF series were better than these so nope not for me Ampeg I think you’re failing to make a decent modern class D amp for some reason ? In comparison my Orange LBT blew it away in every dept

I had excellent service when I purchased my MarkBass MB58R cab Very impressed

That’s why I think the new OBM500 is a better choice for £499 Nothing you don’t need and everything you do plus U.K. built

Thanks Phil 👍

I used the Gator 1212 case

They are terrible amps fraught with issues and failures !! 😂 Kidding of course, they are very good amps and as mentioned the compressor isn’t great but a decent powerful amp with amazing service backup from Ashdown U.K.
