also you could try supplying the mooer of the tuner its an isolated supply i think so might help. andy

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1391065712' post='2352780'] I wonder if it has two channels - a bright side and a dark side On a serious note - At that price point, Orange seem to be underestimating the competition... Wookie error [/quote] haha!

interesting andy

yeh good info, me thinks you like 212's? only kidding good article. i however love an 810 or 410 for the beef.

i have 2 6m 4 way extension reels, a surge protector is always good but these came from tesco and cost about 5 quid, no need to spend crazy money. andy

think i might look at upgrading the wheels or maybe grab a flightcase for it andy

[quote name='The fasting showman' timestamp='1390906234' post='2351023'] Hi Andy, As an owner of a Mag810, and somebody very pleasantly surprised with how good it sounds (to me and I've owned lots of gear and been disappointed with a lot of it!) I wouldn't go for one brand new as the value plummets like a stone. Mine cost me £99, and it was 8/10 condition very smart. This isn't due to me being a shrewd buyer or anything it's just that the guy advertised it badly; he omitted key words like 'bass' and 'cab' etc. There's one on ebay now in Cardiff that probably won't go above £200, that's what I'd go for. You'll be able to move it back on if you don't like it at that price. I only bought my 8x10 as I was playing in a band at the time where the bass needed to assert itself to sort the overall sound out, vocal PA covers band in big pubs where the bass has to fight it's own corner. Plus now I live in a house with a garage so storage is no big deal, I've not found getting it around a problem. I've been very happy in the bands I've used it in and the bands have been positive about the sound too, not degenerated into a volume war, just kept the bass at drum kit level; rock solid low E, nothing running out of steam. I think if you've got the space, and you drop on one cheap, I think an 8x10 can be useful. They are so out of vogue at the moment they can be bought for next to nothing. The Ampeg I had and the Ashdown I have now are just big chipboard boxes with basic 10's in them but overall they work well, just don't pay too much. A few good ones on here at the mo, the Trace 8x10 (Celestions) and the Marshall VBC 810 too. I think Derek Forbes' old Ampeg was on for sub £500 wasn't it? Check out Youtube if you want to see that one in use back in the '80s! All the best, Martin [/quote] anyone know how low the cab goes? lowest id go is open a, but i have a rack eq with a 25hz high pass to look after the crazy lows hurting speakers. oh and the mag has wheels like the peg yeh? andy

not funny thats awesome lol andy

ok so ive narrowed it down to the 3 that i think i want from the fact that its the classic (and can run as 2 410's) the ampeg, for the same reason the swr the sound is different but from alot of videos id be happy with taking a punt on this cab (again runs as 2 410's if needed) and also the ashdown mag or abm as tried a 410 cab again and its sounded nice so only be better as an 810. im tempted by the mag as i could get one new. andy

[quote name='thodrik' timestamp='1390854438' post='2350508'] I'm sure its a nice amp but over a grand for a really heavy class D that is more expensive than your flagship tube amp just seems kind of strange. I also don't see many people going for Orange for the 'clean hi fi' sound, though I'm sure a line of high profile endorsers will magically switch after being suitably impressed/paid/whatever. I do like the blending capability idea though. [/quote] think is i dnt think it will be mega "markbass" hi fi i can see a lot of metal bassists going for it, im also thinking there might be a trick or two on the back as there still no pictures, that i can find. andy

well im thinking the 1000w power section is similar to the tb1000, im just thinking more for a drop in price. andy

i want to hear it, part of me hopes they do a 500w version later this year! andy

actually put music on the right night of the week! so many venues near us will only do music on a wednesday or tuesday, you can get some people there but they arent happy unless the venue is full which mid week it just wont be alot of the time. also covers bands can walk into paid gigs and charge 200 notes or more for a evening, dnt have a problem but then the originals band asks 50 quid and its like were asking way to much! andy

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1390817255' post='2349730'] Just a quick update for anyone interested (that includes you, Antone) I now have the power amp! I've been looking at the functions, and there are several possibilities to play with. I will soon have a Barefaced '69er and a Barefaced Super Twin, each are 4 ohms. I can: - run both cabs from one channel, 1000w at 2 ohms - run each cab from each channel, 800w at 4 ohms each side In this second mode, I can play around with crossovers. The '69er is a sealed cab which sounds superb across the range, although when pushing the low frequencies at volume, it does not stay very clean (sounds great in many applications, but not what I'm after ATM) The super Twin is ported, and can handle bass very cleanly at high volume. I can put anything under 90hz through the Super Twin, and anything over 90Hz through the '69er. The theory is that it will retain maximum clarity at very high volume, There are a variety of crossover frequencies to choose from, but 90hz is the one Alex has recommended. Then there is the low pass filter - worth playing with, although I already have a LPF pedal. There is also a sub bass setting, but I'm a bit scared to play with that one! I can also set a limiter so that a gig-share-idiot can't blow the speakers by cranking the levels (although in theory, each cab can handle the full 800w) Can't wait to get the new cab so I can start playing! [/quote] holy crap ill hear you from here! andy

[quote name='Fionn' timestamp='1390831798' post='2349978'][list] [*]Look at the "pro's" in the OP. [*]Of course I still need to power the pedal board. Amp and pedal power supply plug directly into a 2 outlet socket on the board. I then only need to find 1 plug socket, not 2. That's less cables, and less faff. [*]Absolutely, that's only 1 cable running across the stage. If my amp stays on top of my cab I'd have 4 cables running across the stage. (Instrument cable/ effects in/ effects out/ boost channel footswitch). [/list] It still seems wholly practical, tidy, and efficient. [/quote] can kinda see if you use the effects loop, but id worry that if the speakon got damaged then its alot of work to get things going again. andy

dnt really see what you gain from having the amp on the board still need power to your pedal board and you'll have your speaker cable running across the stage, id rather have a 10m guitar lead and get an extra extension lead andy

ive always found that they go with ampeg stuff really well, my old ad140b sounded awesome through there 810 and 610 cabs.

struggling to find anyone near me with the 810s im interested in trying? local venue has the ampeg, anyone in the south west have a ashdown or swr they let me try?

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1390575841' post='2347109'] The way I read it, it's marketed more towards the super clean, more hi fi end of the market (albiet with the option to add colour*), so is is a different beast to the AD200 *orange, obviously [/quote] sort of sitting in the same kinda league as the 2001rb gk heads, the gain stage and blend is foot switchable so it basically 2 channels its is getting more interesting but 1000w of clean power as the bt1000 is scary loud! andy

[quote name='The fasting showman' timestamp='1390650514' post='2347884'] As I said earlier I've been very pleasantly surprised by my Mag 810, not a dark sounding cab by any means and pairs very well with my old GKs. There's always one on ebay for £200, should be easy to sell on if you don't like it. I'm finding the nearfield sound great on stage, I run it at the volume of the drums and don't have to work the head hard at all to generate low end. My old SVT setup used to project the sound past me and only sounded great in the crowd but I'm finding this rig relatively consistent around a room. [/quote] cool may try and find one to try out. andy
