[quote name='Wayne Firefly' post='383672' date='Jan 18 2009, 12:29 AM']So..... the 1000W version has 2x500W power stages which have to be used into 2 cabs right,(no 1000W bridge) at 4 ohms each to get full power. What if this head was used with one cab with only one side of the power stage connected...would the other side blow as its got no load on it or would it sit happily not being used and be "spare" incase one side goes down, in effect carrying 2 amps....one you use and and one effectively a backup......most people I know have had reliability problems with Ashdowns thats all. Failing that, It'd be the 350W version. They may have saved some money by doing a single 500W version and the usual 1000W version by using the same power stages in both amps....I dont really care about how it looks, just how it performs and the size and portability seem ace....I'd run it with a Sansamp anyway to beef it up tonally. Also, would it need velcro-ing to the top of your cab as I imagine it might be real easy to yank it off if you overstep your lead length, amp goes crashing to the floor....God, I worry too much.[/quote]
Being solid state means you can happily run one side with no load.
The Shuttle is a million times lighter than even the LG1000, I wouldn't worry too much about it coming off your amp!
