I use the Forte , but go in the effect return and bypass the preamp and tone stack. I have a Monique preamp , so I have a 700 watt class D tube combination. I usually use Bergantino cabs. I have a 210 and 112 , and most of the time the 112 is more than I need. It’s a really nice combination , and easy to move , sounds wonderful. The little heads are home or rehearsal use. Although I’m sure they could carry a mid sized room without any problems. The Forte gives me clean transparent power , with a ton of headroom.

msb Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Now , the little Darkglass head just arrived today. And it totally exceeded my expectations. It can deliver far more distortion than I’m likely to use , but I’ve been spinning the knobs and getting a good idea of what it can do. I’m liking it slightly warm but below the point of distortion. I’ve tried various cabs with it , and it just loves the BareFaced One10. That’s a great little cab. I even dragged out my old Ric. It had been a while. The old girl still sounds gorgeous. Recently I’ve been playing a big hollow body Gretsch a lot. And there was some magic there. So I’ve been in amp nerd heaven. The M200 is one great little amp.

Piers_Williamson Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Seer Green Beer fest tonight. First outing in anger for Mesa TT800. Not convinced it beats a Handbox for vintage sound yet. Needs a bit of work on the two channels with the Fender through the valve channel and the Wal through the clean channel.

The GR Bass rig is 700w, the Ashdown 100w. I like my sound clean so the Ashdown is only used at sub break up levels from the power tubes. It's warm and fat.

I found it is built to the price point ( £1000 ) so has a few cosmetic flaws in the paint and frets. I sold it with in a few weeks when I discovered Serek basses.
