Nice job. Dave

Your post does not specify, but is there anything stopping you using in-ear monitors instead of earplugs? They would probably be easier to source that a specific shape of headphone (the headphone has to have room for your ear and a layer of foam sound insulation, so some of the bulk is not negotiable). Apologies if this is something you have thought about and rejected. David

I played through one more than once. It wasn't rubbish — it was much worse than that.

This landed back in 2022, never did share a pic of it.

my first proper amp was a carslbro. not this combo but a bigger greener one. It was loud but so lifeless. Probably the worst amp I've owned.

Hey Steve the Andertons 425X has been sold now. Was that you? ☺️

Cover Me - Bruce Springsteen

A wonder that that lovely (Classic White?) Stingray hasn't left you for someone guitarless yet.

For the audition, I just went straight in to my Ashdown ABM600 Evo and Eden Nemesis 210 cab. A little bit of drive on the amp and a slight boost in the high mids. Normally I use a Revolt preamp in front of the ashdown. Running through the dirty channel it sounds amazing, but not right for this band

Poor sound. Poor reliability. Could do with a little bit more power for some larger/noisier gigs. Fairly limited range of controls. Cheap construction. No real character to the sound that sets it apart from other similar 'Cash Generator'-type 'finds'. I'd avoid it (as I did whenever I found one lurking in some awful rehearsal place). HOWEVER, you say you like the vibe and how it looks, so, in that case, give it a go. Don't pay much more than £40 for it.

That would be VM, this is CV.

I already have a modded patch cable which when inserted into the "Insert" socket .... passes the inputted signal to that channel but then can be use to pass the signal to the input of a different channel - so 1 Bass input Split into 2 channels . I goes to FOH after EQ, the other to the monitor mix with, if necessary a different EQ. Any reason not to do this as an alternative to splitting the incoming bass input. Yes - but the issue is that if there is only 1 bass channel the EQ for FOH and Monitor have to be the same. Whilst I can "globally change my IEM EQ" all the instruments in that mix get the same EQ. So to get the bass sounding OK the guitars/vocals etc can sound awful in the IEM feed. I'm probably over complicating things ..... but I'll try the "Insert" route and if that's no good, I'll try a spitter before the input. And Yes ... The Panning thought was just a way of changing the balance of the inputs (when use as a "summed" Stereo Pair as David says. Tired so the explanations above may not make sense!!! 🙄🤣

That's so positive to hear, Steve. I've had a similar experience with my new band recently. What rig are you playing the Euro LX through? I'm back where I was 15 years ago playing Spectors with HAZ preamps through GK heads into modern quality cabs.

Can anyone here please tell why is this amp so hated, i found one for 80€ and i love the looks and vibe, it cant be that bad can it?
