LewisK1975 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Hi all, Is there anyone in the South Wales area with a TC RH750 / RH450 who'd let me have a go of it through my cabs and with my own Bass? They seem to fit the bill for what I'm looking for sound-wise but as we all know, you never know until you try.. PMT in Cardiff offered to get one in for me to try out, but you have to pay a 10% deposit (refunded if you don't want to buy). I'd also feel a little cheeky turning up to a city centre store with my own bass and cab to try an amp out.. South Wales ideally but maybe Bristol-ish area could work too. Massive thanks you fine people!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisK1975 Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 So after the massive response on here I tried my local facebook page and came up trumps within a few hours. Couple of top blokes in Cardiff who own an RH450 and an RH750 respectively both offered to let me try theirs out! Happy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuNkShUi Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 You thinking of swapping your PUMA for the TC head? Any reason behind this thinking, or just fancied a change? I have a Kustom KXB 500 that i absolutely love. I swapped my PUMA for it and haven't looked back. I live in Bridgend, if you want a go of that, you'd be welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisK1975 Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Yeah I've heard those KXB heads are a bit of a gem - unfortunately out of production now though so wouldn't want to put myself through that (what if I really really liked it and couldn't get one?!?!), thanks for the offer tho! The reason I'm looking at the TC RH heads is mainly because of the feature set - built in tuner, compressor, tubetone, semi-parametric eq etc.. My main problem with the PUMA is that it does't match my cabs frequency wise - the treble control is set at 8khz and my Barefaced super compacts only respond up to 4khz-ish so I was struggling for top end. Silly mistake on my part really - I ended up getting a preamp pedal to get the top end I needed amongst a few other pedals so I'm basically only using the PUMA as a power amp / DI, and have also ended up with quite a big pedal poard.. If the RH fits the bill sound-wise it'll not only be a better frequency range match for the cabs, but I'll also be able to shift a few pedals too...

Still a bargain though!! That's fair enough about the frequency response. I wouldnt have thought to look at that either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
