Fair enough. I know the feeling - I have 4 different flavoured heads 😂 What about the Aguilar AG700?

If the OBT works well why not just use that? Sensible/boring/money saving… 🤓

Royal Blood on Wednesday Skunk Anansie a week and a bit later 🤘🏻

I thought the OP meant the Peavey-era one. If so I think this is the manual: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/838201/Trace-Elliot-Ah1200-12.html?page=21#manual Using the lo/hi pass sends, and then the stereo returns, the DIs will be lo/hi pass too.

It simply means that the cab can cope with 250W RMS as a general rule, but if you’re running clean signals you may be able to push up to 500W through it.

Sold Lee an MXR bass octave deluxe via Facebook. Was an absolutely pleasure, top notch guy to deal with!

Probably Guy Morel rather than Mr Pratt of awesome bass playing fame 😉

I’d say that seems excessively loud, unless someone was hoovering nextdoor? 🤓

Again the difference really doesn’t matter. If it sounds bad, turn down and you’ll save yourself blowing anything up

Doesn’t really matter, you can’t hear the difference between 300 and 350W Nice rig!

Friday’s rig…:

To be fair it depends how loud the band is, how clean you want the bass etc. I love my LB30 but it just won’t work in one of my bands because we have a heavy hitting drummer and two guitarists to compete with. It will create the volume but there won’t be anything remotely clean or polite about it, it gets very, very gnarly. One of the guitarists actually forced me to switch back to my Glock the other day because he hated the LB30 🤣

Possibly the smallest 100W head I can think of is the Handbox WB-100. The trouble with trying to cram more into a small box is the heat dissipation- of course all the valves generate loads of heat and you have to cram a couple of transformers in there too. I’d love a Little Bastard-sized 100W valve head but can’t really see it being easy to do. Unless a valve genius can come along and tell me otherwise and volunteer to make me one for a very small sum of money 🤓

New look for 2022 thanks to @Bass Wielder and @Stofferson. First run out tomorrow night 😎

Monitoring only

Just bought an MXR Compressor from Chris, he’s a dude so knew it would be cool and, lo and behold it was

I heartily endorse these statements

Have a listen to this video I did a while back. Comments on YT suggest they think it does indeed sound like an ABM: https://youtu.be/DsdfJF2Ehgs

My wallet / bank manager / wife would all like you to hate it please. I, however, would also like it to avoid being a letdown 🤓

Pretty sure Peavey make their own class D amp modules don’t they?

Ooof! Lovely again from Mr C

Wow wow wow. Very nice 😊
