badboy1984 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Don't get me wrong, I do like their gear except the load rating etc. Price, size, weight and tone, their product is excellent. I have not seen a 2x12 cab (BC212) on the same price range that is better then their product. Their BC410 as well. Reason why i shift away from TC is I need the cash for my house and I'm happy to settle with a single 15" Trace cab, it adds approx 7-8more kg on weight but I'm find with that lol.

phatbass787 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 [quote name='badboy1984' timestamp='1398758553' post='2437200'] If the BH500 is 250watt head, how many watts is the BH250? lol When I email TC last year when I still had the BH500 they said to me the amp is still 4ohm minimum load but can run 3x BC210 or BC212 and 2x BC410 etc .... They did not tell me the theory behind how their head works with their cab etc. I personally don't think they done anything magical, I think they just put some numbers on the amp/cab to confuse us lol. [/quote] Friend of mine had the BG 250 1x15 combo power tested by a local tech few months back as to him it wasn't holding up at higher volumes. Turns out its because It only actually puts out 75 watts Rms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badboy1984 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 That's so sad to hear ....... I have sold all my bc gear and now I gone back to vintage trace Elliot amp and cab. Even half stack trace Elliot is insanely loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiegrungesound Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Ok. Just as I stated in another thread about Ashdown's RootMaster amps, I finally got around to trying a BH500. It was powering a matching TC Electronic 2 X BC210 stack & I played an Ibanez SR300 through the stack. Here's my thoughts.: It's AWESOME!!! It's got bags power(The Gain didn't need to go above 4.). Good Compressor. The Mute/Tuner button is dead handy. The Tube Tone is great too. Also, for a Full size, Solid state head, it's lighter than it looks but looks & feel well put together. I think I might've just found the perfect backup head & potential successor to my Hartke LH500! Just need to hang fire on the GAS for a month or Two now!

But the RH450 is not quiet, that you have to admit. Another thing is whether you like the sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
