Musicman20 Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Ok, I wont ever need an amp with this power, but TC have just stated the Blacksmith is getting released at NAMM. 1600W at 4 ohms. Much larger amp, more for very large bands id imagine.

Musicman20 Posted January 10, 2011 Author Posted January 10, 2011 Definitely mint but too much for me! Quote
fretmeister Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Big bands need less power in an amp. They have monster PA systems. Just no need for it anymore. Quote

That said... that thing would be absolutely beasting into a Vintage. And it would help compensate for my tiny penis. Quote

It's just more fun.. if someone else is carrying your 8x10 :-) Quote
fretmeister Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 My most powerful set up was the Rig of Doom V2 2600W (Yamaha P series power amps) Would the cabs have taken it.... not a chance! Anything over 3 or 4 on the dial and they would have been shagged. And I couldn't really lift it either!!! ah - the stupidity of youth! Now I have Markbass. Quote
cetera Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Ooooh! I'd like to at least test this baby out! Not sure I'd buy it though... Quote

I have absolutely nothing to say about your second comment however. Quote

Also, Blacksmith + 2 Vintages is possibly cheaper than a full set of explosives and diggers for quick demolition of a rehearsal studio. Quote
Musicman20 Posted January 11, 2011 Author Posted January 11, 2011 It is ridiculous/ace, and if it truely is that wattage, and 2 ohm capable, then it will be stupidly powerful as my RH450 outperforms all the other micros Ive tried in terms of wattage and ommph, (honestly rated watts are great!). I would never need such a rig, but If I played for Metallica I would want two. Quote
charic Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 [quote name='Stag' post='1084386' date='Jan 10 2011, 03:56 PM']want it. I only have 1350w at the moment [/quote] There wouldn't be any lightbulbs left in the UK! Quote
Mykesbass Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 For me it would be completely pointless.......and yet I still want one Quote

Dood Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 I wonder if the Blacksmith will have a 'Staccato 51' voiced version out too - in red no doubt! ;o) Quote
cocco Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 I like it but I must point out that my SVT-4 Pro has 1600w of power and is too much, hense downgrading. I fear this may be pointless, but then the best things in life are. Quote
charic Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 I wonder if it supports daisy-chaining like the rh450... As it stands I've decided 2 rh450's is superior. Or and rh450 and a classic would do the same actually or a staccatto. Or all 3!!!! 3 tc amps daisy chained = max capacity of 9 x(4x10) mmmmm...... Quote

Kiwi Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 With this and the EB Gamechanger...does this mean that manufacturers are starting to run out of ideas for useful improvements that they can make to products? Quote
