Deedee Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1506429743' post='3378655'] I still think the lack of a di out is a mistake, a lot of the gigs I do where it would make a handy backup require a di. To me it would make more sense with a di as it would only need to pump out enough for stage monitoring then.

Guest Jecklin Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1506428202' post='3378631'] That's my personal niggle with these small heads, it's mostly down to the quiet music that I play though. I had a Markbass head that drove me mad with the fan noise. Also someone leant me a tiny SWR head for a jazz gig a couple of years ago, that was awful. [/quote] Exactly, In the past I've had heads where the fan is louder than the quiet sections of music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingrayPete1977 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 They could have fitted one of those dual Jack/speakon ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 A short Jack-Speakon adapter cable shouldn't be so difficult to obtain, I'd have thought (nod towards BC's obbm, cable-maker extra-ordinaire...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I've already got one as an early adopter of speakons being a Genz Benz user for rehearsal space cabs but most people buying these will be hooking them upto modern cabs plus as a back-up head You want to be able to swap the di,kettle ,speakon and input cable quicker than the guitarist can tell a rubbish joke!

NancyJohnson Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 [quote name='Wolverinebass' timestamp='1506333228' post='3377912'] Mick (the Greek) brought his to the bass bash on Saturday. I didn't play it, but I did a bit of amp fiddling when people were. It's actually not bad. Tonally it's okay. Volume wise, it's not bad either. I would honestly say it's not enough to play in a band with a cymbal happy drummer or 2 guitarists unless you're using a 6x10 which kind of defeats the purpose of using an amp that you need an electron microscope to see as its so small. I'd say, if you're doing a jazz gig or some kind of acoustic folk gig, it's great. If you're bag is metal or hard rock, you're stuffed unless you're using a massive cab as it won't have any headroom even if you used a topnotch 2x12 like Barefaced or Bergantino. So, to answer the age old basschat question "is it any good for metal?" The answer is a resounding "no." It's a very inventive bit of kit, but it's just not for me. I just need more juice from any amp I'd buy and you won't get it from the Elf. [/quote] This. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
