sumorabbit Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hi peeps, just a few questions for some of you more obsessive gear swappers and hoarders if I may have a moment of your time. I currently have an Ampeg pf-500 with a pf-210 and pf-115. After six months with this rig playing mostly weddings and parties and 90% of which I go through the PA as well, I'm really not getting on with coloring of the sound. I recently tried a TC Rh450 and here lies the issue. It wipes the floor with my PF500 (in my opinion). I've recently gone back to being a student and have had to quit my day job, I survive on gig money and teaching money mostly for now. I think I've decided I want an RH450 but I can't afford to buy the cabs to go with it at the moment. Has anyone here ever tried the RH450 with those Ampeg pf cabs an does it sound ok? I don't know anyone with an RH450 that I could test it with. Also Markbass a contender for around the same price as an rh450? I'm after a warmer sound than the pf-500, it sounds very clinical to me. Thanks peeps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moos3h Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I used a Classic 450 (very similar) to the RH with a PF-210 once and it sounded great. I can't see you having any problems at all with that setup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@23 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Can't comment on the TC or Ampeg cabs but Markbass offer a nice warm clean tone. Perfect if you want to use pedals or a pre. It won't be as coloured as the Ampeg, so might be a good shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumorabbit Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Sweet I may make the dive then. It's just a case of Rh450 v Rh750 methinks. I've never tried a Markbass before and nowhere this end of the UK seems to stock one for me to try. Would the rh750 be ok with the two 450 watt ampeg cabs? I will replce these furhther down the line just not for another year or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I used a TC Classic 450 with an SVT 410HE & SVT 210HE. Sounded awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
