51m0n Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 [quote name='Harrythebassdawg' post='161971' date='Mar 22 2008, 08:58 PM']Is the SA450 the same as the little mark II, just with more versitile EQ and twice the size?[/quote] Also has 2 Neutriks on the back, and pre post switches, and line out level control. I think thats all the diffs The eq was enough for me to go that route on its own, I do like a semi-parametric eq me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedontcarebear Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 Used my F1 tonight at practice, my drummer said "it sounds much better, usually when you buy things, I can't actually notice any difference". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will admit that originally I didnt get on with the MB heads and cabs, but using the F1 with my current set up has really impressed me. I'd be the first to put my hands up and say, ok..so I was wrong! - Mebbe it was the cabs I didnt get on with all along? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedontcarebear Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 I had pretty much everything set to around 12 (asin in the middle/top, not the amp goes to 12!), apart from the VLE, which was all the way down, and I cut through fine (via my Warwick WCA 211 Pro).

I leave the VLE off and start at 12 o'clock. A little on the bass, so 1pm and sometimes back the treble off a bit on my bass as EMGs have an extended top end, as well as bottom. Speaking of the Warwick cabs.. saw ma mate playin through a complete warwick set up the other day.. and It was an awesome AWESOME sound. Not really what I want, but even through his 2x10 it punched right through the venue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedontcarebear Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 I used to have a 4x10 Warwick along with the 2x10 I have now, but the 2x10 just sounded a lot better to me, the 4x10 got muddy sometimes, so I sold that and have just been using the 2x10 for ages now.

largo Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Anyone know why MB don't put mute switches on their amps ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why they didn't do it previously? Gawd knows!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
