ok first play of it today and it looks like a winner, big fat overdrive even with max gain doesnt feel like there too much. this is only thru my small combo will try it thru my orange stack at practice on sunday and seeing the i have my terror set so its got a bit of grit in the sound should be pretty awesome as there does seem to be much loss of bass. andy

hi guys so currently im using a pro co rat, and a patch on my m5 for my dirt sounds, the rat gives a proper dirty overdrive sound in the m5 im using the colordrive patch which im using to get a different vibe of rat kinda sound, bit more treblely clank. well i listened to a few videos of the flux drive on youtube and it seems to work with the sound of the amp and push it nicely! im thinking its probs gonna cut some lows but the terror is bass heavy how i have it set so hopefully it will all come together and give a nice fat overdrive sound, hopefully the eq on the pedal is as effective as it is on the videos. if this works it'll free the m5 up to do delay an reverb duties. andy

are the grills held on by velco? andy

just to through it out there, the orange 410 is a really nice cab! really punchy warm sound and its not a massive cab either. also ive always found orange and ampeg go together really nice! andy

Cant speak highly enough of my bass terror and obc 410 Andy

no one?

totally nice guy to deal with good communication and understanding when i had problems with posting my shimverb due to work commitments deal with 100% trust andy

id be tempted to get the mini svt stack. andy

have they already pulled this cabinet? would love to see a price and a review andy

Might be worth trying the 12's but the 410 will give the chance to push more air, and the hydrive are nice loud cabs aswell.

Is this not just the valves warming up? My terror gets a bit more gainy after the pre amps warmed up? Andy

Isnt the 4.5 a 410 with 5 inch horn? Id imagine the 410 would get you closest if so

Swr headlite is a really bice small head and its pretty function packed too

The 112 hydrive is a very good and loud 112, i never tried it apart from at a blues gig on its own with my old lm2 Its really how you feel if you play in places with a pa the stack of 12's would be fine

Does the hartke 112 really need 2 handles? Its a easy one hand lift? Andy

im posting this after a recent deal went thru with loads of problems! it all started very well indeed, lots of contact and payment made quickly and delivery address sent. its from here that things went very wrong, Zach agreed to sent the amp (a terror bass 1000) with an next day courier before the bank holiday weekend. nothing ever showed up so i messaged him..... no reply i waited till after the weekend and nothing turned up in the following week. i messaged again but still had no reply it was at this point i noticed that the previous message had not been read yet. i heard nothing till the following monday when i was told that the courier had failed to show and would be sent asap on a next day delivery. another 3 days passed with no sign of my amp, at this point after an angry message that was again not read i did some investigating myself and found him on facebook through his band and to my shock found out that he was on a country wide tour! i wnt go on but when i finally received the amp about 4 and a half weeks after i paid for it, and apparently it had tried to be delivered 3 times.... i struggle to believe how you can miss a courier three times i understand if there are serious problems with family but atleast you let the buyer know. i really do want to say i never let my anger at the situation get the better of me but always firm but fair. but i would strongly advice against dealling with zach unless you are selling to him. one final note that when the amp turned up this is how it was packaged http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg72/0175westwood29/IMG_0810.jpg dnt think im alone when i say this is unexceptable!! andy

might also be worth checking out the aguilar th500 aswell andy

Have you tried the aguilar db750? Loads of weight behind each note! Loved mine was gutted i had to sell. All valve amp my fav is the orange ad200, and you could probs pic up 2 second hand for the price of the mesa. Andy

ive fallen in love with my terror bass but that def changes the sound of the bass! but might be worth trying to grab a markbass lm2/3 should be able to grab one on here for around 350ish there really good heads nice and powerfull for there 300w at 8 ohms and then put the rest towards a cab? or try and get a 112 markbass combo? andy

[quote name='tonyquipment' timestamp='1366276693' post='2050328'] I have a TU3 but I run a limiter right after it as I don't like the peaks of my playing... At the end of my signal chain is ceb3... I could run out of the two outputs into the two combos? [/quote] Just put the tuner last in the chain, it wnt affect tuning, id just leave all as it is tho and go line out into the active input on the second combo

these are good cabs well built as is expected from hartke and they sound very nice. and if the speakon thing really concerns you buy them and change over the jacks to speakon but tbh there nout wrong with jacks! andy

getting a obc 410 in the next few weeks and am looking at getting a grill made with my bands logo on it. anyone know any sites or should i just get some mesh and make one myself? andy
