    Feel I better chip in to say I've got the HB head, not the combo, and its been great. I've been using it for gigs for the past couple of years paired with a BF Midget and its always surpassed my expectations. Its a very versatile amp tonally, and although its inherent tone is quite middy, once the color and contour controls are bought in you can totally dial the mids/top out and have a dub monster. The midget is a middy cab too but doesn't mind having more bass pushed to it, so I generally set the amp to Bass at 1 o'clock, bass boost engaged, Treble at 2 o'clock, EQ off (sometimes on with mid cut), and then use the contour control at 2 o'clock. It gives me a great deep but punchy tone that I really enjoy using. I've only pushed this amp to near max once at a gig in a huge cowshed, and it was still fine.
    Reliability wise, all I can say is that I've used it for 2 years with gigs pretty much once a fortnight and its never missed a beat. Its also got a pretty solid chassis as I can sit on it during rehearsal and the box doesn't flex at all.
    Great amp for the money. Mines already payed for itself I reckon.

    Does anyone gig with just a B/F Midget cab?

    another +1 from me. Couldn't be happier running my Midget T through a Harley Benton BA500H. Been using this setup for the last year, gigging every 2 or 3 weeks and its always been fantastic. Definitely keep it on the floor for coupling. I push the lows and lose some mids and it gives me everything I need. Love it!

    Yep, I made it there too. Really enjoyed Wilko and Norman, although Norman could've done with being a touch louder in the first half of the set, but they did a great job as ever. After a few more beers, was looking forward to the Blockheads, but it wasn't Norman on bass. I kinda recognised the stand in but it wasn't until halfway through the first song that it suddenly twigged . . . .Guy Pratt ! Fair do's, he don't do it like Norman but he did do it very well indeed. Lovely old ? stackknob Jazz, sounding perfect through a big Ashdown rig.
    Great weekend, really enjoyed it. Sadly, I had an unscheduled nap on Saturday night and missed loads of great bands including From the Jam.
    Gutted about that. too much pizza 'n' beer !

    Another Promethean Clone?

    I own the Harley Benton BA500h and have been very happy with it. Done loads of gigs, even ran it pretty much flat out in a very big open barn into my Barefaced Midget with no complaints from amp or cab.
    Would really like to A/B it with the Promethean head to see how similar they are. I'm in North Wales if any Promethean owners (or micro heads of any make) would like to do some testing, send us a pm.

    Paul.
