sk8 Posted February 2, 2017 Author Posted February 2, 2017 [quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1486042673' post='3228719'] The guitar demos are brilliant. If it can double with bass then I am mightily interested [/quote] Well it's been delivered but not sure when I'll get to fire it up Quote

Kevin Dean Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 [quote name='Tweedledum' timestamp='1485871292' post='3227344'] Sub'd! I too have been hovering over that one for quite a while now. But actually I don't need another amp... [/quote]You might be thrown off of BC for that last sentence . Quote

What cab will you be running it through? Think you mentioned a 1x15 further up...

sk8 Posted February 3, 2017 Author Posted February 3, 2017 Hoping to fire it up today just to do a quick test. Band practice tomorrow though Quote

sk8 Posted February 3, 2017 Author Posted February 3, 2017 [quote name='Jus Lukin' timestamp='1486120007' post='3229359'] I won't lie- I'm on tenterhooks! How is the quality of the finish? I can't work out whether I dig the colour scheme or not, and part of me wonders about stripping and painting the box black. I'd have to be convinced I was keeping it though, as that would probably render it unsellable! [/quote] It's okay for the money. I'll take some pics. It's not top notch but let's not forget the price point Quote
doomed Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Our guitarist has a Bugera head and has put it through the it's paces in drop B for years now, it is a good amp, well built, 100% reliable. It's not the model you have there but his has plenty of bottom end so I don't see you being disappointed. As for the overhang on the cab who cares, I ordered a Matamp gt200 on Monday and I couldn't give a monkeys if it crushes my cab, it'll sound good while it does it. 😁 Quote

My palms are sweating as I look at that - make it go away, or at least turn the cab on its side! Quote
sk8 Posted February 3, 2017 Author Posted February 3, 2017 Okay to sounds Had a quick 15 minute noodle with it. Volume on the back on 1. Glassy über clean this ain't going to be. Using the four inputs you can elicit a huge variety of tones. Some more aggressive and mid range heavy, others baddy and vintage. This breaks up earlier than my orange AD200b did but not much. Think the poweramp tubes add distortion too. I like that I can just out a noisy in front and get killer OD. Practice tomorrow so let's see how it sits in a mix Quote

sk8 Posted February 4, 2017 Author Posted February 4, 2017 Okay so at the start of practice was thinking if didn't have the volume BUT turning the gain up to 5 and the volume down on the back to 1 I was too loud for practice! No loss of bass, plenty on tap. I used the top right input Fir channel 2 dimed the mids, cut the treble and I was rocking. On 4 on the gain there wasn't a huge amount of breakup. All in all really pleased and the trouser slapping bass was lovely in the mix. Quote
