Bearfist Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) [b]£550 [/b] Im letting my 'new' M-pulse go, i picked this up in January, it was a display model in a shop that never sold so despite these being discontinued a few years back it basically a brand new M-pulse with 4 months use, i'm guessing this may have been the last or one of the last new ones sold. Anyway i lusted after one of these since i was a kid after i heard a local players one so when i saw it i couldn't resist, anyway having now ticked this off the list and having lived with it for a short while its just not quite for me. Its a stunning amp, the 3 band input EQ is terrific and i like many other users just used that, never needed the Para, the on board comp is definitely one of the best i have heard in an amp, again a feeling that seems to be common. The tone is on the clean side of valve, i would say this replicates the wide open clean valve sound better that anything ive heard, I'l ship at your cost (about £20 in the UK) and i have the original box to ship in. Some specs...[list] [*]Handcrafted in Petaluma, California [*]600 Watts @ 4 Ohms (320 @ 8), Simul-State™ Power / 8 Tube Driven Power MOSFET, 2x12AX7 [*]Active/Passive Input Switch [*]4 Stage Vacuum Tube Preamplifier with Gain, Active Bass & Treble, Passive Mid and Footswitchable 5-Band Semi Parametric EQ that provides 15db of cut or boost from 30Hz to 12KHz [*]Footswitchable Compressor with Independent Threshold and Ratio Controls [*]Main Output Level Control [*]Footswitchable Solo Level Control – Patent 6,724,897 [*]Footswitchable Parallel FX Loop with Mix Control [*]Balanced Line Out with Pre/Post Switch [*]Bass Tuner Output w/Footswitchable Mute [*]2 - Speakon & 2 - 1/4" Speaker Output Jacks [*]Slave Out w/Level Control Fan Cooled [*]FORMAT: [i]2 Space Rackmount[/i] [/list] I've just picked up another amp so no trades on this please...

HazBeen Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 I have the Venture version (basically a slanted front, head MPulse 600). It is one of the most flexible amps I have had but it takes time to get to grips with the EQ. Low and high are not a straightforward boost/cut knob on a specific frequency. They change their Q width dependent on boost or cut. GLWTS!
Bearfist Posted April 2, 2016 Author Posted April 2, 2016 Yeah its a lovely thing, always loved hearing these things, just not what i'm looking for right now. I wouldn't be disappointed if i kept it to be honest.
petetexas Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 I got one 3 months ago ( used 2002 ) , and have never looked back . I even went out and got 2 2x10 powerhouse cabs heavy , but great ) Been through most amps ( ampeg gallien, mark, peavey, fender, ea, tech etc etc ) This is the best I have ever had ( so far ) The eq does take a bit of getting used to , but once you start to learn , its AMAZING . Have a bump on me GLWTS Pete
Bearfist Posted May 4, 2016 Author Posted May 4, 2016 Cheers Pete, Yeah these are great, ive found something i love recently and as tempting as it is to keep this i should let it go. Note - The rack case has now been sold so new pics and price drop to reflect that...
Bearfist Posted June 8, 2016 Author Posted June 8, 2016 Hi, no i never bought one to go with it i'm afraid.
