so I purchased one used in the US...thumbs up from the band in rehearsal and it passed the test of the first gig (Grateful Dead cover band)...and for the price, where can you buy two 500 watt amps at the price point of the LG1000...I got mine for $475 US mint condition.

I have a pair of 1212Ls with the new Celestions Jorg is using now in them. The Celestions are a bit warmer than the previous 12s he used (Eminence I believe) and can handle more power. The 1212Ls are a bit dark sounding especially at low volume. At louder volumes the sound opens up. They cut through the mix and the volume to weight ratio is great coming in at 40lbs. each. The pair of 1212L cabs driven by my Acoustic Image Focus I Series III at 2 ohms (they are each 4 ohms) just screams. Makes me feel I could take walls down. They sound great with my Thunderfunk 550B. Jorg firmly stands behind his products. I bought my first 1212L in Nov. and in March I below both speakers. No questions asked he sent me two new replacement speakers on warrenty at no cost (this is when I first heard the Celestions). I also had a back cover issue and he sent me a new back cover with no questions asked. I bought the second 1212L a couple of months ago becuase the cabs are so light and because the customer service Jorg provides is second to none. Both are in black rhino...love them...

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='207060' date='May 27 2008, 03:22 AM']After dissing these amps a month or so ago because of the way the output is configured (ie, not 1000watts in to one 4 ohm cab) im now seriously looking at these again after just ordering a 4ohms 1212L. Figured if i cant sell the UL212 (also 4 ohms) i could run both together and destroy my guitarist :-). anyone got one yet?[/quote] I have an order in on an LG1000 that will run $450 US all done an said and will let for all know when I have it. And am planning on using it with my two Schroeder 1212Ls each at 4 ohms.

The links below are from a TalkBass member in the US. [url="http://www.ev-b.com/compressors.html"]http://www.ev-b.com/compressors.html[/url] [url="http://www.ev-b.com/compfaq.html"]http://www.ev-b.com/compfaq.html[/url]

BTW I think I want one of these if for no other reason than as a cheap backup amp. The LG 1000 is starting to appear on websites for $499 US in the States but not yet in stock.

OK...so the little giant 1000 has two mono 500 watt amps and it is solid state. Would that not mean you can run one amp and leave the other amp disconnected since solid state amps do not need to be connected to a speaker (contrary to tube amps)? So presuming that is correct the concerns of having to run two 4 ohm cabs with the LG 1000 seem unfounded. Please do correct me if I am wrong.
