    I know this might seem a bit strange but have a listen to Dirty Joker by Slade. Jimmy Lea plays an unbelievably good solo in it...its based on Bach but l suppose it would be as Jimmy was originally a violinist.

    Well lve just completed 30 gigs/rehearsals with the HD R400 l bought off here a few months ago and l have to admit it is the best amp l have ever played through and lve played through most over the years including Ampeg/Orange/Trace. The tone and harmonic sounds are something to behold and the slight break up of the preamp valves is just perfect. Everywhere l have used it l get compliments of how it sits in the mix. Honestly this amp is simply awesome. I use a 4 string musicman through a couple of Super compacts and we play predominately Soul/Norther Soul/Funk and Disco music. This amp perfect for all of this....l simply love it. What does everyone else think?

    Jon Shuker is most definitely 'The Man'. He makes some fabulous instruments!

    I stand corrected Stu, I didn't know that....whatever they were they were very loud. Every day's a school day.....just curious how you know?

    Try playing 'achie breakie heart' on that..

    Wouldn't be able to chuck this into a Tranny after a gig lol...

    Just perfect for any wanna be heavy metal moose out there who wants to rattle a few fillings............

    Jimmy Lea from Slade used similar, 2 amps plus 4 cabs at Sheffield City Hall in the early 70's when l went to see them...wall of sound and very, very loud. Would have been my ultimate rig back in the day. Glwts.

    This stuff is brilliant and it works......I always hand this out to the audience sitting near my two Super compacts and my Handbox R400.....stops their beer vibrating of their table..

    Anti slip mat from poundland or somewhere similar works well too.

    Could you tell me the string spacing at the bridge please?

    I should have also added that when I opened up the amp I found that all 3 valves did not have a brand name on them, hence the reason for swapping them out.
  17. Woody1957
    I replaced all 3 as soon as l bought it from this site second hand. I didn't really want to gig with valves which were already 3 years old so l couldn't compare them tbh.

    I've put Electro Harmonix in my R400, as suggested by the guy at Watford (l cant remember his name but very knowledgeable) and they sound really sweet!
  19. Woody1957
    Watford valves?

    I've got the other one, sounds absolutely killer and its amazing sounding and such an easy instrument to play. Mark is also a top guy to deal with and met me half way on the hand over. Try him😊👍

    Well mate, l use it with one SC cab for band practice and it really is plenty loud enough to keep up. But when gigging with 2 cabs at 4 ohms...well just let's say l could wipe the whole band out....its very, very loud. I play it with tone controls almost flat, volume full up and control how loud l get with the gain control and with the clean switch on. I really love it, its a lovely, portable D class that can get as dirty or as clean as you want too. Hope that helps👍
  22. Woody1957
    I also have a Terror v2 and a SC...sounds killer. Just curious why you are getting rid?

    As if by magic Deepfat is selling a HB WB100 on amps for sale😃........fill yer boots!!! Sorry...just read the complete HB for sale thread, it's my age lol. Must say well worth the drive imo..
  24. Woody1957
    The R400 and a couple of Super Compacts is my exact set up with my white MM or my 71 Jazz and l've never had a better sound...ever!

    Brought back some great memories...cheers mate! I used Trace gear in all the bands I played in throughout the mid 80's right to the late 90's.............then my back started complaining, loudly!
