I bought it to use with my narrow 2x8 cabs as it wouldn't overhang. The idea being to simply employ the power amp with various different preamps. Obviously I was always going to try it without a preamp and the results were just excellent. It's easy to transport, the onboard compressor is good enough to save a space on my pedal board, the tone controls provide plenty of flexibility and it is as loud as you could want it to be. Put it this way I will be selling my Orange Little Bass Thing now. That should tell you how good it is. My B Stock HB Bass Block 800 arrived yesterday. Looked brand new to me. Took to rehearsal last night and ran my Sansamp into the fx return. Initial impressions are - very quiet, very loud so ideal as a power amp when I need more headroom than the Elf can give. Minor gripes - the knobs and switchgear are cheap and nasty. Can't do anything about the switches but need to find a source of smarter looking knobs even if I only plan to use one of them!

I replaced my knobs straight away! Green ones to give it a Trace Elliot vibe. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still use green as the default colour for bass tracks in Pro Tools and Cubase for this reason! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
