eude Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 New head version of their BG250 Combo. Check it out! >> http://www.tcelectronic.com/bh250.asp I'm not sure it'd be for me, still undecided about TC Gear, but, it does look pretty dang cool! Anyone digging their BG250's?...

Thunderpaws Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Just received the email shot from TC with this. Looks interesting. Wonder how warm it sounds. I'd be interested in the amp even if it didn't have toneprint, as I prefer analogue effects and stompboxes. g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I have just watched the video for these. They look great and the toneprints are a great idea. That Octaver example by Uriah tracked all the way down to B. That's worth it in itself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderpaws Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Wonder how much it'll be. I am tempted....what would win, this or the MiBass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Nifty, I want to see the babies that this crossed with the blacksmith would make! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbd Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Looks nice! I've been trying to find the combo version but nowhere seems to have it in stock at the mo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Just saw the vid for this. Looks very interesting indeed. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WFrPr_40d8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WFrPr_40d8[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce@tc Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Hi guys The BH250 head is priced at £245 SSP inc VAT and should be shipping at some point early September. I had a play with one on Saturday and it is rather cute and sounds great (yes I know I'm obviously going to be biased) Unfortunately we were rather taken aback with how quickly the first two batches of the BG250 combo sold through, but (although it won't cover all our dealer backorders) a large number were shipped end of last week into the UK. Best bet is to have a check with one of our [url="http://www.tcelectronic.com/Default.asp?Id=12427&AjrRgn=122&AjrRgnTtl=United%20Kingdom%20®ion=nonus&zip=&cpc=1"]authorised dealers[/url] and get them to let you know when they're in stock. There will be more arriving in August. Cheers Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderpaws Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Thanks Bruce. Now if you want a run of the mill bassist to try any of the new gear out just fire them my way!!! Only kidding...it's nice to see reprasentation from the manufacturers visiting blogs like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one ridiculously well packed tiny amp. [/quote] 500W and a gain control and that would be some real competition for LittleMarks and the lower end GBs. As it stands though, it's perfect for a gigging bassist that moves around a lot and doesn't require solely on the amp for volume on bigger gigs. There are similar things out there at similar prices, but there's just something about this thing. I really hope that Ocatver and the Spectracomp come out in pedal formats...

RandomBass Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Had a quick flick through the BH250 manual online, and it appears you can use the optional footswitch to toggle between two different Toneprints. I'd always assumed that you could only have one Toneprint programmed in at a time, not two. So that's pretty cool then. Cheers Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switch 3 - TonePrint A/B (alternate between two TonePrints)". I'm guessing that this amp doesn't support the use of that third switch, but it'd be great to hear otherwise.

RandomBass Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Yes that was my immediate thought - so maybe their manual isn't as error free as I'd hoped, or they just haven't advertised this nice feature yet.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heminder Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Hmm. I was interested in this wee little amp but it's missing an effects loop, so I can't use it with my looper :\ [quote name='bruce@tc' timestamp='1341927555' post='1726326'] Hi guys[/quote] Heya bruce@tc, good to see a TC rep here on the forum. I've got a question for you. Is there a Toneprint the gives the amp a looping functionality with the switch? That would be really awesome! Also, can Toneprints be loaded with Linux? It would be a PITA to find someone with a Windows machine and ask them every time I want to load Toneprints =P Edited July 16, 2012 by heminder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have now decided to sell my Ampeg BA115, get one of these heads and look for a 112 to go with it. Will finish recording new stuff first. Love my BA115 but this little amp seems remarkable.

sk8 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 found this on the net about the footswith A TC Electronic ‘Switch 3’ footswitch can be added for even more control. TonePrint effects can be punched in and out and the amp can be muted. Furthermore, even though the TonePrint knob controls one effect at a time, the previously loaded effect is stored in the internal circuit and with the third switch this effect can be punched in and out as well, which in reality gives BH250 a dual effect section capable of combining any 2 of the 6 effect types available.
