The tube emulation in the TC amps totally outweighs the very small single tube in the LM Tube amps. Ive tried the lot, and the RH and Streamliner are the closest it gets, unless you look at Mesa. I don't know how TC have done it, but they have!!!

My luck ran out about 6 months ago then everything started to become hard work! As soon as we got our notice to move house everything has just been hard work. Hopefully the good weather will bring good news.

You arent even going to believe it, because I cant. The mute makes a pop and loud click everytime you engage it. I asked the OP and he hasnt had this, and my 450 never did this. I checked all variables, and even did it without the lead plugged in. Still got a pop everytime. Weird, so that has to be exchanged as well now. Next time Ill just stick to what Ive got, this has been very hard work just to get two working amps.

Yep, and it's good to see Fender helping out.

I have to give credit to Matt at Fender UK who has PM'd me and has reordered a SL900 from Genz already so my replacement should not be too long. Great to see some Genz like service over here.

Have you tried all basses, all leads, all variables like another power source? If this still continues, I would ask for another unit. Its brand new and still covered under the 7 day returns.

Thanks for the advice. If it were second hand obviously I'd fix it, but with it being new I'm going to leave it Genz to sort out and just get a new one.

Yep, thanks for checking guys! At least I know I'm not being fussy. Pete, it's the same I think....has a power switch and the plug socket in a black casing...that whole casing moves! I wasn't even going to check the amp over, I trusted their QC. I noticed it by accident, twice Thing is, the Genz service is great, but I aint gonna get a new amp shipped to me right away like Ken, I'm going to have to wait until my store gets Fender UK to send a new one, then to them, then to me, and I have to be in pickup and delivery again. Not a happy chap!

Virtually all cabs have various inputs, well if they don't they should have!

Ok, I've had this before. My Ray5, same settings ish, same amp, same cable is almost totally silent. The virtually brand new Ray 2EQ H has that annoying static noise that goes when you touch any part of the metal on the bass. Changed the battery, cable, amp, power supply, same thing. Is this normal? Note the Ray 5 HS is silent, well almost!

I must admit though, it still sounds ace despite the fact I'm going to have to get another. Even the headphones sound good...like, as Ed F says, a tube preamp.

Yep, to update, the actual black plastic housing for the switch and the power cable moves away from the chassis. Only been on for an hour, and went to move it, turned off. Thought it was my fault, put another power lead in with a little more force, went to turn the tweeter down, knocked the cable EVER so lightly and it went off. Checked it and if you move it up the amp flashes as the lights are fed power then the connection breaks. Not good. Fab sound, not happy though. I always end up with a problem, and this isnt exactly me being picky, its probably not that safe!

Yeah my friend had the hot rodded P...nice bass. Shame they dont still do them!

[quote name='BB2000' post='1209223' date='Apr 23 2011, 03:09 PM']It's almost certain that it's just a dodgy lead causing that to happen.[/quote] Tried another, same thing. The whole section where the lead goes in moves! Away from the chassis!

For crying out loud, why me?! This amp sounds great...I really like the mids im getting and the treble is there but not overly clacky. But, and this is a big but, is anyone else finding the power supply input at the back moves a little?! I was happy playing, then I moved the amp a tiny bit, and it crackled and went off. Then, I tried putting the power lead in as far as it would go, hoping it was merely my error, and it seems even the SLIGHTEST touch to the power lead and it all shuts off and crackles. Why me indeed! Dont get me wrong, it sounds amazing, SO much bass its unreal! But, Im guessing im in for yet another swap over.

Just seen the Yammy BB1024x for under £800 new! What are they like?!

It's like a lo pass filter selector. Bright/Grindy to warm/vintage and in-between.

I know gaf had two units go wrong. I'd still like one. Thomann had a deal at £499 with delivery for the 1x10 combo plus the gig bag. Anywhere else close?

No tone on the G&L?!

Seriously tempted to get one...love that colour.

My word no wonder the Squier CV P sells so well. What a lovely example!

Sounds good Dave!

Totally love this band. Brian is just as good live!

Last I heard SHX dont import Schroeder anymore. Bit if a shame as the 1212L seems likes good one cab solution.
