I'm looking to sell some of my Tech Soundsystems gear.

[s]1) Tech ND212S, 2 x 12 lightweight cab
[url="http://www.tech-soundsystems.com/eng/images/12er/popup_212.jpg"]http://www.tech-soundsystems.com/eng/image...r/popup_212.jpg[/url]
Excellent condition. I am the 2nd owner and it's done around half a dozen gigs and probably 50 or so rehearsals. Never pushed that hard - never needed to. 600W at 4Ohms, very light and very loud. [b]Reduced to £360. Collection only[/b][/s]. [b]Being sold to Flanker[/b]

[s]2) Tech Mini15

Good condition. Some fluffing to the carpet in one small area. It's done 1 gig and a few rehearsals. 400 at 4Ohms. Very, very light at surprising bottom end considering the dimensions. Looking for £300[/s] SOLD to Whynot.

3) Tech TVM350 Head mounted in 3U Stagg bag with quality 1 metre speakon - speakon.
[url="http://www.tech-soundsystems.com/eng/images/tvm/tvm_full.jpg"]http://www.tech-soundsystems.com/eng/images/tvm/tvm_full.jpg[/url]
Good condition. 350 Watts at 4 Ohms, 420 Watts at 2 Ohms. Solid state head with a very warm, valve-like sound. Passive EQ, bass and treble boost, onboard compressor.
NOTE:
There is a design flaw with the optical compressor on this range of amp. It introduces a lot of harmonic distortion. TecAmp know and offered to take both my TVM heads back at RRP and sell me a Performer Head instead. I opted to stick with them though. I love the sound fo the amp and the current exchaneg rate put me off.
This amp also has a new power supply board. The new board was sourced at considerable expense from TecAmp/Tech. Amp has worked fine since. [s][b]Reduced to £260.[/s] Collection only. Final price £240 [/b]

I am selling because I have a Tech ND410S and Tech TVM 600 and a house that is starting to look like a music shop and I have another baby on the way and will be moving soon. So, much as I love this gear, it needs to go.

i love the look of the cabinets ,
something kitchy as an old vintage fridge , but i dig a lot.
They are larger than conventional simlar 2X12 cabinets or larger than the tecamp production,out of curiosity?
Or just an Eye-effect produced by the unconventional Shape?

I hope i would get to try one, someday.

They're taller than most other cabinets, but narrower, which actually makes a lot more sense

1) they're easier to get through standard doors
2) The speakers are higher off the floor
3) better sound dispersal (both 12" drivers are vertically aligned)
4) They're easier to fit in a car boot

Couple that with the fact that these cabs are unfeasibly light. I've got a photo of OBBM lifting one above his head at a previous Bass Bash. I've got my wife and kids to roadie for me in the past - totally guilt free.

I've never seen or tried the new TecAmp gear.

The newer tecamp gear seems to be the same cab designs but with a facelift, and a few more models (3 different 2x12 cabs in the range now). They are rediculously expensive new now though!

In other words get these bought! If I was nearer I'd have that 1x15 off you in a jiffy!

Hello,

I was never a good salesman. I'm not sure how much more this cab will give you over your existing 210XT. The 12" drivers have a very different character to the 10s and, at lower volumes, the 2 x 12 sounds 'nicer' with more presence and character. However, once you ramp up the volume, the is higher impedance and power handling so sounds much more contained.

Hi,

I'm interested. I use a MarkBass F1 with an EBS Neo212. Happy with the sound etc, but the extra height and smaller width of the Tech is appealing - it moves the sound a bit closer to my ears!

Anyone have any thoughts on how the sound of the Tech would compare with my EBS?

Oh, and whereabouts are you bassbloke?

Cheers

Martin

[quote name='bassbloke' post='471921' date='Apr 24 2009, 10:24 PM']I've never ever heard an EBS rig, so I really couldn't comment. The Tech cabs have quite a compressed sound. They never sound to harsh or peaky, even with the horn voicing set to aggressive.

I'm in Chessington, KT9.

Is your EBS 4 or 8 Ohm?[/quote]


4 ohm - the F1 is 500 watts into 4ohms

Only the TVM350 head left now for the bargain price of £240. That's right, £240 for a German, handmade amplifier with twin speakon outputs, passive EQ, tuner and line out, DI out and more blue lights than you'd normally see at chucking out time in Romford.
