dan2112 Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Just saw on Mark Gooday's Facebook page that a 550w version of the little bastard amp is coming soon. He does mention that it will be the same size too. Quote
umph Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 [quote name='Musicman20' post='1261057' date='Jun 8 2011, 12:17 PM']Must be Class D, eg like the Bass Terror.[/quote] Really hope its not. that'd be DOOM Quote
Pow_22 Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 isnt the Little Bastard an ALL valve unlike the orange? Quote
ben604 Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Surely an all-valve 550w head would weigh more than a crate of Ampeg SVT-CL heads? Quote
dan2112 Posted June 8, 2011 Author Posted June 8, 2011 also wouldn't a 550 watt all valve head be stupid loud? I'm also guessing a class d power amp and would be very similar to the orange bass terror. Quote

BruceBass3901 Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Is there any chance you have an image of the post? I'm really intrigued by this Quote
dan2112 Posted June 8, 2011 Author Posted June 8, 2011 [attachment=82099:Screen_s...16.25.33.png] That's the post....but it does show the original 'bastard. Quote

If you think a Mesa 400+ is only 300 watts and it has 12 6l6's in the output stage. It would be the size of a small house and weigh the same lol. Quote
phatbass787 Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 They already do a 430 watt all valve little bastard which is the 427 - [url="http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?section=valve&ID=230"]http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.as...alve&ID=230[/url] and thats the weight and size of a house, imagine therefore this must be class D or solid state to be the same size as an LB30, think this could be very cool by the sound of it, love my LB30, one with 550 watts will be monstrous!

eude Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 They have hinted at possibly doing a Class D head with the new valve preamp, I was hoping it'd be a bit more compact though, something like the GK MB Fusion perhaps... Quote
BruceBass3901 Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 I've just been told that it will have a Bang & Olufsen Class D power section on one of their photos on Facebook Quote

Does it really need to be so big then?... Eude Quote
