Irrelevant. We buy from retailers. They should list the power rating correctly - and Bugera should correct them if wrong.

Just a shame the retailers selling it for them can’t repeat that info and list it as RMS instead.

Lol - shame Rimmers didn’t read the manual you linked to 🤣

Nope. Same 2000w RMS. Hhmmmmmm

I know I’ve questioned the watts in this thread a bit - but, your point really is the only important one - if it works and it sounds good then that’s all that matters.

I must be sensitive to it *shrugs*

Whoah! That’s a WHOPPER!! Look at how big it is compared to that house.. Is it 34 foot scale?!

No, but you will eventually “feel” about 10ms of latency.

Yes, but like anything it’s about context - there’s so much going on in a band scenario that you probably wouldn’t notice 1ms latency in a decent tight band. You’ll be listening more to the drummer than your own playing - and of course their latency will increase with distance just the same (speed of sound innit) Like I said, it only really makes a difference when you have some really accurate timing to hold down, or if you are recording, as your DAW chain will often have built in latency already.

I know this is over simplifying and people will grumble, but effectively an FRFR cab is a (fuller range) cab with a built in power amp..

Whilst I agree, to an extent with this, the thing is that the 0.8ms latency won’t be the total latency you hear. As humans, we start to perceive latency at around 9/10 ms or so.. So, take the 8ms and stand 4 feet from your amp and you are at around about 12ms - Which is noticeable. (Well I think it is - you can “feel” it rather than “hear” it..)

(Just for clarity, my “effectively zero” is about 0.03ms I reckon, assuming that the cable is pretty efficient and the signal is close to SOL)

Effectively zero. But you’ll get capacitance (signal degradation) above about 5m

In normal playing, you don’t notice it. I notice it when playing a complex rhythm that requires really accurate timing - it’s not so much that you hear it, but you feel it and it can trip you up a bit

Bass -> Preamp DI -> output to input of power amp -> output to speaker cab (Effectively the pedal replaces the Preamp part of your amp head - really useful if you want to try different preamps without buying a whole amp head each time!)

Good choice

It’s constant and not variable - and it’s noticeable at 8ms - a bit like the difference between standing right next to your bass amp and standing 15m away from it

The latency on the boss is noticeably better than the smoothhound in my experience

I’ve never really got on with Gibson’s method of binding - especially the “nibs” - it all seems a bit of a faff that doesn’t really seem to help playability. I’m really liking your solution though - I love the feel of an old board where the frets are worn away from the edges so you can’t really feel them at all.

Do you have an endorsement deal with L’Oréal? Fab basses btw!

You need to replace those led’s with green ones now!

I don't need to

I just couldn’t do it...

Ouch - I’ll have the taste police after me!
