Phantomnin Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 I may have misheard. And I was sitting behind the guy from TC (Ulf?) but I'm sure Mark King said he was using a new RH750. It was definately a Reble Head and he had two 4x cabs. The question begs for me though...isn't the RH450 load enough for most situations? Quote
Musicman20 Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 I have heard rumours about this! That is going to be one seriously loud amp! Looking forward to hearing about it. Quote

stingrayPete1977 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Finally you lot can have the crap us Shuttle 6.0 users get, "You need at least a 9.0 and the 6.0 hasnt got enough bottom end" For what? and usually based on the 1x10 or 1x12 8 ohm combo cabs rather than a big one or a 4 ohm load!, I can hear it now the RH450 is lacking in this that and the other Quote
Phantomnin Posted March 14, 2011 Author Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) For Huge venues you could run two RH450s linked (one can be a slave ot the other), that's what they were designed for (and that's what I'm pretty sure Mark was doing on the last tour). At least it wasn't an RH500 or 550 to make me feel inadequate. The sound my RH450 makes is huge as it is. My point should have read though...isn't the 450 enough for most venues that mortals, amatuers etc play. (Please don't ban me). Edited March 14, 2011 by Phantomnin Quote

[/quote] Depends on what it's plugged into, how loud your band is, and how deep you like your bass sound to go. Would need to be a properly loud band for the RH450 not to be enough into a good 2x12" or 4x10" - but with an ultra-deep responding 1x12" as you see on the left you'd need more power to bring the rock!

Musicman20 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I think they made this for the bigger bands. I like Genz but I know for a fact the RH450 hammers at the very conservatively rated 450 W. All to do with voicing and how they actually rate it in the first place. Ill get an RH750 once I know it can make the same sound! I dont want to get it and its a different tone like the Mark Bass LM3 vs LM 800. Im glad TC are pushing it and making new products. Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 In reality though if none of us go over half way on the output volume already what difference does it make? Maybe for a massive stage gig but as I have said many times before any gig where my 6.0 would be even close to flat out would be DI, foldback and/or in ear monitors anyway. I can't even imagine what two vertically stacked 8 ohm 2x12's with my 6.0 flat out would be like never mind a 9.0 or this TC 750 as comparable models. Is more really more if you are only using half what you already have? Quote
LawrenceH Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Awesome! Now I just need someone like B&C to start producing a long-excursion 10" driver that can take 700-odd watts with a Fs of about 37Hz yet weighing only 2kg, and my 1x10 micro bicycle-friendly antidoom rig will be reality. Woahahahahaa Quote
chris_b Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 I'd be interested to know if an RH750 was officially able to go to 2 ohms. Quote
charic Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 I take your RH750 and raise you this: [url="http://www.dv247.com/guitars/tc-electronic-blacksmith-bass-guitar-amplifier-head--82450"]The Beast[/url] Quote
chris_b Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) The difference between my Thunderfunk 550 and the 750 is a much larger (solid state) power supply. The main difference isn't in the volume but the huge jump in the authority, presence and sheer quality of tone of the notes. Does anyone know if a larger digital power supply brings the same improvements or is it just louder? Edited March 15, 2011 by chris_b Quote
alexclaber Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 If an amp is designed and specced to pro PA standards it shouldn't make any difference if you're running within the amp's limits - however a lot of bass amps cut corners to save cost, size and weight, hence all the discussion about so-and-so's watts being louder than thingumajig's watts. There's a lot of clever digital processing happening in the TC amps which is why they sound fairly loud for their rating - I'm sure if you used their power stage unprocessed they'd sound substantially quieter. Clever engineering. Quote

wateroftyne Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Ah-ha.... there it is... 'tweetertone'. Quote
JTUK Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Looks interesting prices for the RH750, anyone..?? Quote
Musicman20 Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 You all know what I think already...! I dont need the power but I like the tweetertone. Plus, it will power 3 TC cabs with a bit more ommph. Nice move...opens the market for them even more. Quote
wateroftyne Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Low-pass filter aside, there was something about the lows on the RH450 that didn't quite ring my bell. They were just a but mushy... Quote
Musicman20 Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Seems like the default freqs are slightly different on bass/treble but still have the same range (eg im guessing flat the amp is slightly different but can go straight to RH450 tone with a tweak). I think...anyway, Quote
Alec Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Extra power: I *really* don't need that. Tweeter-tone: Don't need it, but would be a nice to have. Dedicated compressor control: That's the one bit of interface that has disappointed me on the RH450. I like to have a mix of compressed & uncompressed patches, and it's hard to spot where the compressor is set in the heat of battle - not too mention less than easy to tweak. In my view, most of the comparative desirability of these high end amps comes down to functionality. For me, the built in compressor & tuner were *huge* selling points with the RH450, as they help me keep my pack simple and light, without reducing functionality. And the lights round the pots, as well as looking very cool & lovely on stage, do make it 100% clear how you're set. (would also love it if the master had indicator lights as well, just to complete the set, BTW). Quote
Musicman20 Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Great news...the RH750 price is actually very reasonable. Bass Merchant say around £849 street price. Quote
Pete Academy Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Seen the TC rep today. The new RH750 is due soon. Quote
