Very interesting Ashdown video with James Lomenzo. Definitely worth a watch... Amp... ...and a new Hyperdrive pedal being worked on?

Yep, I did the same with the switches and master volume.

Cool, that's the new version. Is it still passive eq? I had the original CTM 100. The eq was useless but luckily it didn't need it as it sounded brilliant. Definitely loud enough to gig in a rock band using an ABM15 or a Barefaced Four10.

I've been using a Boss CE5, very flexible and good enough for Simon Gallup.

EMG JJ! I was watching an alt rock band a couple of weeks back and the bass player had recently dropped a set of these in his jazz... it sounded great, I did say to him at the time that the sound reminded me of my old Spector, also loaded with EMG pickups... and as everyone knows, Spector are the sound of rock 😄

The Orange 4 Stroke is one to consider... https://orangeamps.com/4-stroke/ An excellent amp, unfortunately no longer manufactured. If any one has 500w I'd be very interested in buying it.

That is exactly why I bought it. Banshees are one of my favourite bands.

Boss pedals are reliable. They are very tough pedals and work well. The flanger wasn't for me but I still use other Boss pedals on my board... some times I'll also throw in my original Clone Theory.

I had the Boss Flanger BF3 but sold it pretty quickly. When in use it drowned everything out and made the sound really thin. I now use an MXR Flanger, the big grey one. It's excellent.

Nah... photoshop that like. They don't exist.

It's over taken the moon landings for conspiracy theories...

It'll be out of date by the time it lands in the UK.

I believe it is one of the original factories. I've had my Solovair 12 years and they are still bullet proof. Top quality and money well spent.

Great call on both counts! I've owned both and both will do all that shiz.

Interesting, what cab and bass are you using? I'm going through a Barefaced Four10 with a Yamaha BBPH active bass using a plectrum.

Received my 800 on Saturday and gigged it on Sunday without any previous rehearsal. Had an hour or so to faff about with it at home then 15 minutes to sound check with the band. Dimed the trim then backed off as required as it says in the video. Ended up looking like this.... Still needs a little bit of fine tuning but still sounded great and handled the effects with ease. It's not what I'd call a plug and play, it's very bright when everything is flat so needs a bit of work to find your sound Once I'd stuffed my distortion through it it sounded huge. Just need to find a case for it now.

My trigger finger couldn't wait, I've just bought a GK 800. 🙂

Do these heads really exist or was it an elaborate joke?... I'm getting itchy fingers for a new amp.
