Mike, it takes a lot of rime efffort and money tou raganise a bash.Shall we start paying to ease the financial incentive burden?

[quote name='owen' timestamp='1495477724' post='3304072'] This one does it for me. It sits in my tuner out and is fine and dandy. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PT-06-Guitar-Pedal-Tuner-Chromatic-Pedal-Tuner-True-Bypass-for-Electric-Guitar-/401195568828?hash=item5d691e8ebc [/quote]Does it mute in tune mode?

+1 for the BDI21. I used mine for the first time at a gig last week and had great comments about my sound. Many talk about a mid scooped sound but it is not massive and although there are mods for this, it sounds good to me.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1509658196' post='3400713'] The CTM-15 is an all-valve job though... could still be quite hefty! [/quote]If the power supply was Up to it is could put out 35 watts with a square wave. Hardly a monster and “hefty” it ain’t.

[quote name='deepbass5' timestamp='1503233436' post='3356571'] I would just buy an Acme lowB best cab i have owned bracing video - [url="https://youtu.be/uJy3TscsL-U"]https://youtu.be/uJy3TscsL-U[attachment=251744:IMG_0936.JPG][/url] [url="https://youtu.be/uJy3TscsL-U"][attachment=251745:IMG_0936.JPG][/url] [/quote]Why? You sacrifice sensitivity for low end that you do not need.

Phil that sounds so wrong.

If you are using an HPF and getting problems it may be that the cut- off is too low. Also as others have said if those little speakers are complaining, adding more watts will make them complain more and you will run into (more?) power compression.

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1499787973' post='3333609'] Does this use the standard ICEPower amp module or something a bit more exotic? [/quote]I am guessing it users the ICEPower.ASX700. The ASX700 is one of the newer modules and probably clad leading.

I wonder if one of the problems here is model numbers. The marketers know we are bears of very little brains and will assume that W big number indicates the power. Is a TH500 louder than a Streamliner 900? An LM3 must be very quiet. As for the covert “all class d is rubbish” , the end of the world is nigh...

I just bought a new pot for an ED1 compressor. Same great service from Marshall.

You probably won't notice the "loss" if the turnover is 40 Hz. Despite the fundamental of the Low B string, has most of its energy at 62Hz and above.

If Alex has any sense it will be. The trick is to emphasise your products benefits. If you criticise other brands or models, you may be talking to a fanboy and they will immediately mistrust you. Can I also add that the subject of the thread is is wrong. It could be how do BF and VDK compare but it looks like someone was looking for an online ruck.

The big PA amps like QSC Crown Crest are effectively hifi wi flat responses although even some of these brands use smoke and mirrors power ratings. Matrix produce power amps for guitars and bases that are solid state and I believe they use high impedance uotputs to mimic a valve power stage. These will have "voicing". Ironically they are A/B amps with switch mode supplies.

The amp I use is an Ashdown MiBass 220. For most gigs it is fine but he last gig I was maxed out. Like most so called 200w amps it gives 100w into 8 ohms. That is also true of the Rumble 200 the GK MB200. The PF350 is rated @ 200w into 8 ohms and should be fine. My own amp build (still ongoing) is 250w into 8 ohms and that should make full use of the speaker

So do you want. To make your cab in to a powered cabinet? That is not difficult. I am happy to do it for you for a nominal fee. What is your budget and timescale?

[quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1504520825' post='3365353'] How about a Lucia 240? [url="http://labgruppen.com/view-model/lucia/lucia-240-2m"]http://labgruppen.co...ia/lucia-240-2m[/url] [/quote]120W all channels driven.

[quote name='NickA' timestamp='1501941112' post='3348366'] So did it still work when you got home? Or did the genset kill it dead :¬( Speaking as an electrical engineer (day job) I'd be surprised if a Class-D was more sensitive to low voltages than a class anything else, it just depends on what electronics are in there. I'm guessing more modern kit with more built in protection rather than anything fundamentally more damageable. And the "D" does mean digital btw (it has power devices that are ON or OFF = digits; whereas A, B, C, H use transistors that are "partly" on = analogue. Class H is a Class C with a variable power supply rail voltage - the QSC 3200PLX I use at work is one of those, always a bit of a glitch as it switches from one power level to another - fantastic amp tho). It's just handy that D came after C. [/quote]No it is not digital it is PWM. If it were digital, signal would be converted to a binary or octal number (digit) before power amplification. With PWM it is the width or frequency of the pulse that changes. It is like having a closed circuit radio system where the transmitter and receiver are in the same box. Yes it is valid to call Class D a switching amplifier class, but Digital is wrong. Even if the modulation is digitally controlled, the amp is not digital.

You are not totally out of your tree but to use a good quality, high power car amp and 12V supply would be expensive and quite bulky. you do not say what the impedance of the cab is but if it is 8 ohm you need to look for an amp rated at 400-500 watts. This is because solid state amps whether Class D or Class A/B reach rated power into 4 ohms and would be closer to half that power into 8 ohms. The ISP amp quoted above is rated at 180 watts peak and 90 Watts RMS into 4 Ohms. Probably well underpowered for your needs. The Bose will be very expensive and as usual with Bose, has no specs as they are intended for use with the Bose PA systems. What pre-amp are you using? Do you want the amp built in?Active Crossover?

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1490908587' post='3269044'] I was chatting to Leszek today, and he mentioned he's added a new custom-order feature to the R-400 - an auto-switching mechanism to match the local power supply. That got me thinking - I've never seen this on a class AB head, only on Class D's. Is this a first..? [/quote]Not if he is using a Switch Mode Power Supply. Matrix have been doing that for some time.

[quote name='BassBod' timestamp='1498831614' post='3327437'] Love mine, but it is a micro and it's not an old Trace. With passive basses I nearly always use a Sansamp or Sadowsky preamp to warm it up. But it's small robust and simple...great stuff. Now, if I was going to complain..it would be fan noise (now improved?) silly name, not even a great album..and the 800w rating. But I still love it😜 [/quote]it users the same power amp Module as the Mesa Subway Genzler Magellan and many others. Really it is 700 Wstts into 4 ohms 350 into 8. It can drive loads down to 2.66 but only if really well cooled.

[quote name='Chienmortbb' timestamp='1453682464' post='2961846'] Based on the South Coast too at Poole Dorset. Often in Bournemouth, Southampton, Romsey and Winchester areas. Will do basic setup and any electrics/electronics. Including action, intonation, pickup replacement, preamp design and/or installation, pots, caps Jack sockets and general wiring. Custom instrument cables and speaker/speakon leads. Still learning fretwork and finishing so can't do that at the moment. [/quote]Now happy to do fret levelling and crowning.

HH apps were very loud although they are fully solid-state beautifully built. Our rated at 100 W into four ohms 80 W into 8 ohms. They will easily outperform many apps rated higher. Mark Bolan "played" a Vamp 100w valve stack on TV and photos as they looked cool but an HH solid state on stage. I have a VS Bass Amo and Bassamp 100. The designs are solid, only constrained by the technology of the time.

[quote name='Anfrax666' timestamp='1493144881' post='3286057'] Had a look but couldn't see any for hampshire, specifically Southampton/ Portsmouth area... any recommendations? [/quote]Just posted this. What do you need doing?

Hamster, I have been going my own set-ups for a while and recently did a guitar maintenance course at Crimson guitars. I have all the tools (and a well depleted bank balance) to to basic set-ups as well as fret levels and crowning. At the moment I am not doing re-frets but will offer it in future. I am based in Poole, Dorset so Dorset and Southern Hampshire would be my area.
