[quote name='leroydiamond' timestamp='1392573004' post='2370192'] Gigged the Tone hammer 500 for the first time last night. I have never had the pleasure of playing through a shuttle and all though its early days with the Tone hammer, it is safe to say that this this amp is not about sparkling highs. The EQ section is somewhat complex, as the gain/drive controls impact significantly on the overall tone (will take more time to get a handle). However I really enjoyed using this amp. It is quite a departure from the more Hi fi tones of the Markbass/Tecamp heads I have used for the past number of years and might well be more appropriate for my current needs (playing classic rock covers). The Tone hammer is more 'old school' in terms of tone, so if your a slap happy kind of guy, this will not be your thing IMO. The Tone hammer is about a tighter low end and rolled back highs IMO. As always, with a new head, it will take me several gigs to find my tone, but I am off to a good start. There is a lot of information from Tone hammer users over on Talkbass if you want to check it out. [/quote] Thank you, tempted to get the pedal as a tester before parting with a bigger wad.

Bump

February the 14th? I don't know what all the fuzz is about!

Hi, I currently have the Genz, which is a great amp. Recently had my head turned by the Tonehammer which also sounds great. Big and meaty compared to the shuttle. However I'm holding back from changing as I've seen a few comments on other forums saying the top end is rolled off and not as bright as the Shuttle. I kinda like the sparkle the shuttle has. Anyone any experience of both or opinions. Cheers Tony

Yeah don't want to over complicate things, however are there tones on the Hammer the East can't replicate and vise versa I lot of people say the tone hammer thickens up the sound and adds beef.

No more opinions on this? Should this sit in another topic?

[quote name='p58' timestamp='1390061766' post='2341068'] have you tried those little "lava like" cables from moeer? http://www.mooeraudio.com/en/ProductInfo.asp?id=86 I would be very interested if they can be compared witch george l´s or lava in audio quality. [/quote] No hadn't seen these.

Hi, going update by current batch of cables as some keep failing. What something low profile, the hosa brand seem to be quite popular for the pan shaped ones. Any alternatives or reviews on Hosa? Thanks Tony

Hi, I really like the idea of the volto by pedaltrain, could something like this be used instead are there other cheaper alternatines? http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00BP68FOG/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/277-8556073-0673426?redirect=true&tag=ho01f-21
