    Tecamp puma combo 212 price drop £450 - *SOLD*

    in Amps and Cabs For Sale

    To my ears the Sica speakers were a little too dark, when I got the amp it had some Celestian 8 Ohm speakers installed and I decided to put the originals back in to return it to its original state, however I preferred the celestian, I did some research and emailed Tecamp in the USA who suggested the Faital pro’s which I love, very clear, punchy and loud. I could have had some of the new Tecamp speakers shipped over from the US but it would have cost a small fortune!

    if I was going to play any larger venues id be keeping it, but in have a 12 inch Eich combo which is basically the same thing but smaller which will cover everywhere I will be playing now.

    Thanks for this.. and sorry to steal you thread (a little). I'm selling my big Mesa rig and contemplating what to downsize to. This option would have never occurred to me, so thanks for the tip..

    MXR Phase90. Question

    Posted

    Hei man, after your disappointment with the Ripley fall, are you certain you don't have some other issue causing the drop in volume? I just mention it as my phase 90, if anything adds a little bump to my level.. or perceived at least

    Yeah it’s a total drop in gain, it sounds great otherwise. I’ve messaged retailer and awaiting reply, I’d be happy with a replacement unit as other than that it sounds great 

    I did some playing around with mine. At home I practice with a Dave Hall hall pre amp going into my effects return on my practice amp. Til now i have had the Ripply fall before the DHA pre amp. All good, sounds big and warm. I tried the RF alone straight into the amp input.. all good, big and warm. I put the RF after the pre amp.. major drop in level with each of the RF effects having an individual gain reduction..? I have to say i'm baffled by this as i don't see why the pre amp before the RF should have this effect... Any how, I tried the RF at both my band practice sessions on my boards (before the amps pre amp) with no issues, all good bid and warm etc. This doesn't help you i guess, but if you get into any dialogue, you are armed with a little more info at least. Hope you get it resolved..

    Nice... Hope it's what you're looking for. Would like to hear your opinion when you've had time to play around with it..

    @jbu09 ok so this pedal seriously has my attention. Got a couple of questions..

    at present I don’t have a phaser on my board but when I did I had it earlier on in the chain, before drive and my chorus pedal is last. How do you place yours?

    And I’m see seeing them in two different colours schemes, green version and black version like the one in the video, is there a difference ? (Guitar green, bass black is a rough guess)

    cheers 

     

    Yeah @danny-79, Green Guitar, Black Bass.. On my main boards (where i got my MXR chorus and phaser) i have them after the drive pedals based on the principle that modulation pedals are placed at the end of the chain. No hard rule here i guess, but i did all the necessary trials in different positions, and i like em best at the end. And because i bought a pedal looper (12 channel switcher from Buzz electronics) i feed the modulation effects into the effects loop (i.e after the pre amp). For what its worth, this didn't make a huge amount of difference, but i did get the feeling the modulations effects seemed to get more air to breath.. (crap explanation i know). Anyway, placement is down to taste, but I think after sounds better. I tried the ripply fall on my small board (different band) also after the drive pedals. In this band i use drive pedals for tone fattening more that heavy drive, but boy the ripply fall sounded sweet. I'll say it one more time, the phaser is subtle (at least at low speeds), more subtle that the MXR phase 90, but it adds that perfect amount of sweetness, and it sits so nice when the chorus part of the pedal is engaged. Anyway, good luck with your search... keep us posted :)

    So I finally got one and I’m not sure if I like it or not. There are some great useable sounds to be had out of it but not the sound in my head right at this moment, but there is a lot going on with it so will be spending more time with it before it gets saved for later. 80s post punk, goth heavy chorus+reverb+flanger kind of thing is what I’m after......

    Can I have some suggestions please :)

    I just picked up one of these.. Not sure if (or what) fits 80's post punk goth, but it has a lovely lush chorus and is paired with a sublime (IMO) phaser (two JAM pedals in one). I only picked it up a week ago, but it aint been off since, both home practice and at rehearsal. I also have an MXR and a phase 90. I love this more.. FWIW i use chorus and phaser on low speeds, there is also a vibrato built in to this, so much of this review is wobbly higher speeds.. anyway, this is my 'this weeks' recommendation

    Hmmm, the Bob the blender .pdf describes reverse polarity protection and a center positive connector. Does this mean the pedal will work with incorrect polarity? I ask because I checked what power supply I received with my VT1 Pro Bass Drive. The previous owner has reversed the polarity, but the power supply indicates center positive? Can anyone advise??

    Gonna answer my own question... The inner of the connector (built into the unit) is center positive... er go the power supply shall be center negative... Doh!
