[size=5][b][font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif]Harley Benton BA5110C class D 500W @ 4 ohms amp head[/font][/b][/size]

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif]I'm selling my amp as I bought a secondhand TC RH750 instead, so this is surplus to requirements. I bought this in 2010 but it only did 2 gigs, and wasn't turned up much. It has been sat unused for a long time, so hopefully someone else can get use of it.[/font]

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif]Spec-wise, it says 500W @ 4 ohms, but will also drive 8 ohm cabs, obviously with less power. I used mine with an 8 ohm 4x10" cab on the two occasions I gigged with it. The two outputs at the back (one jack, one speakon) are wired in parallel. Always prefer the Speakon for safety![/font]

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif]It originally sat in a 1x10" combo/cabinet which housed an 8ohm speaker of unknown wattage, plus a tweeter. This little cab was very well made, so I am keeping it for quiet home practice. The amp originally slid into the back of it and had 4 bolts to hold it there; you can have them if I can find them![/font]

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif]No box unfortunately; I think I have a manual somewhere but from memory it was very very spartan and the amp is quite self-explanatory; sorry if I can't find it. It's a bit dusty on top, and the odd mark from going into a gig bag.[/font]

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif]It did develop some odd noises (a periodic click-type noise??) the other month but after having left it for 6 months it is quiet as can be. I did get a sound-equipment service engineer I know to look at it after the initial fault, but he could find nothing wrong with it (tricky without a schematic) and the capacitors inside aren't bulging or anything so I truly believe it is fine. The board looks fine too and no components look duff so not sure what the noise was all about.[/font]

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif]This is IDENTICAL to an Ibanez Promethean. In fact, here's an old Basschat thread on it:[/font]

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif]Thanks![/font]

I keep one of these as a spare. Great little heads. I've had the Promethean and Redsub (combo) versions too and I can't hear any big difference.

Thanks Dunc. Bump!

Yes, good little amp, with plenty of welly!!....

[wateroftyne]

The Promethean head (which, as mentioned, this is a rebranded version of) is probably the best-sounding micro head I've had.

A few years ago I pulled mine out of the combo and used it as my main amp for a few gigs... and immediately put my TC RH450 up for sale.

GLWTS.

Go on, geez it!
