Hello. Neither the Bullhead 1K nor the Bullhead .5K have a fan. The amplifiers are convection cooled by the vents on the side and the amount of open room we have inside the chassis to allow cooling to occur. The Bullhead is not the smallest amp out there, this allows us to not have a fan but also allows us to use full sized knobs spaced in a way that making adjustments on the gig is easy. Sometimes we just have beat or two to reach back and make an adjustment and having knobs you can see and turn easily is nice.

We certainly do have an artist endorsement program. I would invite you to connect with our Artist Relations Manager Justin Huth at Justin @ Trickfishamps . com Thanks!

Hello guys, This is Ryan Owens from Trickfish. Thanks for talking about the giveaway and the Trickfish Bullhead .5K! You are correct that we do not publish an RMS rating for the amplifier. We do this for the very reason of not wanting to publish confusing information. The fact is that there is no set protocol for establishing an RMS value and because of that you never know if comparing the RMS of two amplifiers is actually an apples to apples comparison. We have chosen to publish the most accurate specs we can to allow the user to be informed about the amplifier: 8 Ohms - (continuous power 235W @ .13% THD, 365W @ 1%THD), (peak power 506W @ .13% THD, 730W @ 1%THD) 4 Ohms - (continuous power 312W @ .13% THD, 702W @ 1%THD), (peak power 625W @ .13% THD, 1404W @ 1%THD) I will also add that the power section of the Bullhead .5K is the ICE 700ASE, the same power module in several other amplifiers in this price range. There is detailed info about this power module available online. I think there was also a question about the frequency selections on the Bullhead .5K. Let me describe the preamp a bit to help you get a better idea of how it works. The bass and treble settings on the amplifier are shelving EQ's. For the BASS setting you select you will be adjusting that frequency and everything below it..... for the TREBLE frequency you will be adjusting that frequency and everything above it. The LOW MID and HIGH MID are variable band pass EQ's. We have the width dialed in depending on which frequency you have selected. These frequency settings and widths are all very carefully dialed in for a bass instrument. To me, that is what makes the Mike Pope preamps so musical. The frequency selections are labeled on the amplifier so you will know exactly which frequencies you are dealing with. They are: Bass: 40Hz or 80Hz Low Mid: 333Hz or 473 Hz High Mid: 1kHz or 1.8kHz Treble: 4kHz or 8kHz I am happy to answer any other questions you guys may have and hopefully some more guys who have first hand experience with the amplifier will chime is to give their impressions. Thanks guys and good luck for those of you who entered the giveaway. Ryan Owens Ryan @ trickfishamps.com
