Did someone get an amp from the new batch where they corrected the switch and the clipping LED? Mine will arrive next week and i'm wondering if that will be ok or not. (I'm waiting for it since October.)

Found a new review.

On talkbass someone wrote that, the BQ500's gain is really sensitive (beside the active/passive switch is reversed). He says when it set to passive(which is active :)) he can barely can turn up the gain without clipping and with active setting(which is the passive in this case) it clips almost immediately. Has someone similar experiences?

Currently I also have a BB425 beside the BB435.

Oh sry, my bad. You are right. The total resistance with 2 8Ohm cabs paralell will be 4Ohm which means the amp can output the 500W, but the two cab will share this power (50/50). so 250W/cab will happen. You can't fry it Thx for the correction!

Hi, i don't have any experiences yet Both K210 and K212 is a 400Watts cabinet. I have ordered it yesterday with a K212, i think it could handle better my 5 strings. As someone mentioned earlier it's an 8Ohm cab (both of them), which means the amp unable to fry it At 8 Ohms the cab delivers about half of it's wattage. If i would have two K212 (or any 8Ohm cabs though...) with the BQ500 then it would be possible. But only if you crank it up fully. But that level the cab should clip which you hear and then you should lower the volume/power of the amp.

Could you write the update, i'm really interested in it? I'm about to buy this head with a K212 but can't find any decent review or opinion
