I have recently engaged in the purchase of the curiously named Bottom Feeder from Ray and it all went swimmingly. Happy days.

I've used an LH-1000 into both the Barefaced Compact and Big One and find it excellent for the punk / rock that I play. My Spector drives the preamp valve [changed to a Ruby] well and there's a nice growl when I give it some. The simple tone controls do it for me. It's loud too. Very loud through the Big One. Very very loud indeed. The GK is a totally different beast - 4eq, voicing filters, bi-amp, silver bits, more lights - never used one, sorry.

To be honest, I'd rather dip my bollocks in boiling fat than buy a Behringer. I used a mates for about 15 minutes in a quiet rehearsal in his house and it blew up, scorching the wall and tripping the electrics. Machines idea is a good one.

Gutted for ye mush. How about [url="http://www.gbguitars.co.uk/"]Bernie Goodfellow[/url] in Brighton?

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='474090' date='Apr 28 2009, 11:51 AM']How so? what if its a good the 4ohm as well?[/quote] An average 4 ohm. My bad.

[quote name='Linus27' post='473655' date='Apr 27 2009, 08:03 PM']Oh well, back to the drawing board.[/quote] Have you tried the Hartke LH's mate? I moved from an ABM EVOII to an LH1000 and it's just great. A good 8 ohm cab will cane a 4 ohm too.

2001 Mk1 Focus. The boot was made for a Barefaced Big One and the LH in a 2u rack bag. Spector in Boddy Glove gigbag sits nicely behind the front seats and the board & box of bits on the offside rear seat. I don't even need to take the kiddie seat out. An estate next though.

No.

So if running two 8 ohms speakers then you get 2 x 225 watts (450 watts). It gets a bit more complicated after that if running 2 x 8 ohm speakers as a 4 ohm config or 2 x 4 ohms speakers. Now do I get the LH1000 with either 1 x 8 ohms speaker (750 watts) or 1 x 4 ohms speaker (1100 watts) or the £50 cheaper LH500 with 1 x 4 ohms speaker (500 watts). Not sure if running just 1 speaker with that much output is the right thing to do.[/quote] Bridge mode - 1 x 8 ohm or 1 x 4 ohm or 2 x 8 ohm daisy-chained Dual parallel - 2 x 8 ohm or 2 x 4 ohm, each plugged in to the amp seperately I'm sure I read something about not using just one side in dual parallel mode, but I can't find it now! See [url="http://s3.amazonaws.com/samsontech/related_docs/LHseries_OM_v1_1.pdf"]here[/url], p12 I have used the 1000 bridged into both the Barefaced Big One [6 ohm] and Compact [8 ohm] - the Big One was obscenely loud and I struggled to get the volume above 5 or 6 even in a fair sized arts centre 'cos as Alex has said, the LH heads really take off at about 6. I gigged at 1 and a bit. The Compact was quieter but still very loud and clear and just about made 6 in a small rehearsal studio. I rehearsed at 3. The sound was totally clear and the cabs had much more to give. I could probably got away with the 500, but hey - I want it to be the last amp I buy for a good while. [quote name='alexclaber' post='471902' date='Apr 24 2009, 10:09 PM']In the vast majority of cases the extra 9lbs weight of the LH1000 will be wasted as it takes a very special or very large cab to make use of that kind of power...[/quote] I believe I have one on order

Used my old ABM EVOii combo & cab for many gigs and a couple of recordings - sounded great, heavy though.

[quote name='Linus27' post='471199' date='Apr 24 2009, 12:24 AM']I really want to get one of these LH500 amp heads but its not fair. You guys all paid around £200 and now they are selling at around £300. Not fair, I want one :)[/quote] Still worth the money mate. My 1000 is the bestest, loudest amp I've ever owned and I've had a few.

I have a TU-2 and I've just moved it to the end of my chain as it really messed with me EHX BassBalls when it was in front of it.

[quote name='alexclaber' post='466780' date='Apr 19 2009, 03:34 PM']The first 'vintage look' Compact: Alex[/quote] I must say it looks even better in the flesh. Not stealth black like a proper cab mind , but tasty nonetheless.
