maybe. all the orange and blackstar stuff is built by another company so maybe they'll do that. a blackstar artisan 100 cast £33 to be completely wired up incl components.

i emailed mark saying i was confused as to where the BTA will be made this was his reply which i find interesting [b]us series is made in both countries, but bta 90 percent UK built US series has US speakers and sound[/b]

buy [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=59272"]another amp[/url] and then buy say a [url="http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/aby-selector-box/11289"]morley a/b/y[/url].

[quote name='phatbass787' post='615536' date='Oct 3 2009, 10:20 AM']Anyon spot this one aswell? Looks interesting. My credit card just twitched [/quote] fair play that does look sweet. 320watts?

i saw the ashton all valve head in a shop and it looked terrible.

£330 everywhere. by the time i go to buy one in a few months i reckon they'll be sub 300

it'll have huge trannies. i wonder if they'll release the all valve pre on it's own

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='614300' date='Oct 1 2009, 09:27 PM']"People want to be able to say they have a valve rig, but they actually want tone controls that work in they way their solid state amps ones do."[/quote] Good answer. i want to hear the proper valve front end.

[quote]Hand-built at the Ashdown factory in Kentucky, USA, the US Series cabinets combine massive performance with exceptional value for money, while BTA 400 head (Big Tube Amp) partners a feature-laden ABM EVO III preamp with a sledgehammer 400W power section comprising of 8 KT88 tubes and massive output transformers. Alongside great tone and flexibility, what makes the BTA 400 really special is its reliability. With a chassis suspended on car engine mountings and a circuit design that will even survive running with no speakers connected, this is a tube bass amp head you can depend on.[/quote] i'm not sure if it's just the cabs made in the USA?

Mark says the BTA is 100% UK made. why is it in a series called the US series?

Ashdown's reply to my question - why didn't you guys opt for an all valve preamp? [b]Dear Steve, Simple really the biggest selling valve amps in the world have a hybrid front end and we want to take some of their market. What is critical here is the HUGE size and power of the Valve back end and the tone and punch you get from this, whilst still retaining a pre amp that ALL of our Artists know very well and like, which also has great tone and flexibility. However of course we do have ongoing projects and a very simple old school tube front end is also available next year with the same back end, you will have to wait and see/ hear them both in the near future. I cannot be more exact, the BTA400s start shipping next week and then you will see and hear about the rest of the lines to come on Valve amps which Mr Green and myself have been working on for a year or so. Also please note, these are UK built 100% there is NOT a major bass amp made in the USA or UK at anywhere near the prices the BTA 400 is being sold, yes its very expensive, but when you see HOW its built and it DOES put out over 400w rms I think it may be a nice surprise. There are amps claiming to be 200w and ‘made in the uk’ however if you measure them you will see they put out 140 to 150w and other US amps put out nowhere near the power there names suggest , hence we have taken a little too long to get the power and reliability correct along with longevity of the valves and transport issues such heavy monsters give. Sadly they are VERY heavy and VERY Big. Hope this helps, watch this space over the next 3 months in the lead up to the launches due for 2010.. Best rgds Mark[/b]

what module should i be looking at if i want to add a taurus emulator but still has good patches?

yea i knew about the rat. i spoke to my guitarist who has the m13. so i'll probs just use the M9 unless i just get an m13 with a midi controller. hopefully the update for it will have the ebs octave emulator

so far there's nothing on the line 6 site. but there are 2 M9's on ebay. one for 330 and the other at 380 both bin.

Get a shuker that looks like a geddy but with the delano pickups

some of the tone will be tape distortion. just like Cursed

i was only really messing around since that rocktron costs about 700 quid. i will no doubt get the m9. i think it would be cool if they did an M9B

go to a shop with your jazz and try some amps

i emailed ashdown today asking why they put and EVO III pre in it. as far as valve amps for me, my guitarist is going to build me one. based on a 70's SVT with KT88's and 2 channels (dirt/dirtier) with their own EQ's, midi switching for channels and fx loop.

nothing?

email jon

yea i think each 2x10 is isolated on the 8x10 the 6 and 4 are both ported

i know but the rocktron looks cooler and you can pull up different sequences on the same scene with a controller.

racked m13 and this on the floor
