Very cool. Nice work!

This seems to have exploded in popularity over in a few Facebook groups I'm a member of. I really need to see a proper demo/review of it on bass before making up my mind, as the only clips I've heard of it are on guitar and sound a bit mental to be honest!

[quote name='funkle' timestamp='1503674551' post='3360242'] The Puma 900 I run has probably the world's most useless bass boost knob - centred around 30 Hz. However, a smidge of cut makes the sound in many small rooms much better - a sort of ersatz HPF. Boosting there is not that useful IMO though EDIT: In fact, the more I think about it, it's probably quite a dangerous knob. A noob player looking to get more bass out of a cabinet not designed for it could easily put quite a lot of power through the woofer, if the maxed out that particular knob. Alex will know more about the power tolerances and voltages etc, but I imagine enough low end boost at high power could damage a woofer. [/quote] I know what you mean about the Puma 900s bass knob - I've just acquired one myself. It does work well as a "boom cut" though. Can sound great dialled up just a little for some reggae/soul/HipHop flavours too.

And the award for most knobs per square foot goes to Kiwi! Cool board.

Cheers for clearing that up - makes my GAS much less acute!

I have a question that I can't seem to find an answer to - are the power supply outlets on the Noble isolated?

Great news about the pickups. That was the one thing I was apprehensive about Yamaha changing so I'm glad they're good in the newer models.

This is a beauty, love that colour!

And I still wholeheartedly stick by all of the above. You're in for a treat, Woolf. £499 brand new is an absolute steal.

[/quote] It's really cool. On the distortion circuit, with the drive turned all the way down I sometimes have to double check if it's on! So it gets pretty clean but will still bite at minimum drive when you dig in.

[quote name='sifi2112' timestamp='1503524635' post='3358990'] I just received a Harley Benton power plant today .. looks decent, led light is certainly useful as a torch, briefly tested it powering a pedal but no time to play, will use it tomorrow powering all my 7-8 analog pedals I also didn't mind paying the 10 euro postage .. I've used Thomann many times & they been great, honouring returns & warranty etc [/quote] What's the verdict?

Looks like there are signature cabs too. Look closely from 50 seconds in. The 210 on the top of the cab stack has offset drivers and a yellow Marcus Miller silhouette graphic on the bottom right corner.

I know what you mean, the €8 postage isn't the cheapest but to be fair I don't begrudge it as Thomann's customer service tends to be spot on. To get the postage for free you've got to spend €199 which I don't think I'll be spending this time around. Edit: the postage is actually €10...but I'm still willing to pay it. Especially when my order includes items I can't get from any shops in the UK.

Oh very nice. I reckon this'll be my next purchase: https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_powerplant_powerbank.htm 10,000 mAh, two 9v outputs, a USB output and a built in LED torch! Reckon I'll get myself 2 of them as an upgrade to my existing batteries (which will then serve to power my pedaltrain Nano+ instead)

[quote name='Graham' timestamp='1503503843' post='3358782'] Is that a Soundblox 2 OFD? If so, that's what I've just sold and replaced with the Orange Juice and Big Muff, the tones were great but I found the programmable nature of it too fiddly. [/quote] No but I have an OFD too which I like. I'm used to the programming as I have a Manta too and love it. My new drive is a combination of the Micro Fuzz and Black Dragon distortion from SFX Sound - the folk who make the Micro Thumpinator. Very nice tones out of this thing.

All of the above, plus anything with Michael League playing on it.

[quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1503505293' post='3358795'] I may be talking out my arse here but is it that expensive compared to a Bareface cab, Cameron if you want a 2 x 8 Fender did a V2 light weight if you can find one second hand http://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifiers-effects/fender-rumble-2x8-bass-speaker-cabinet, I've got one and I'm well happy with it. [/quote] True, and I suppose I could find a TC BG250 208 which would be more useful to me than just the cab anyway, not to mention cheaper and available used.

[quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1503500324' post='3358757'] Slightly off topic but I can't help wondering why the 2x8 cab is sooooo expensive compared to the amp and the 1x10??!! [/quote] I too have wondered this and despaired as the 2x8 cab is the only thing I'd be interested in from the new range...
