You will love it .. and for a great tip really get to know the EQ
You can get so many tones out of it
My top tip is pull down the 340hz slider as that improves the tone massively and up the main mids control instead
I don’t use the Shape Out feature as it’s too boomy live but again if you wish to use Shape Out ( on ) then boost 340hz and you get a fab tone
I’m definitely coming round to this way too
As a guitarist you can benefit from so many pedal variations depending on the music but as a bass player I’m enjoying the simple good amp and cab sound and EQ to suit the room and band
Last night I was using my Orange Little Bass Thing via my Ampeg SCR-DI and TC Spectracomp pedals
Nice sound
At break I pulled the cable out and went direct into the amp without pedals and set my EQ and bang .. what a better sound, the weight and tone of the amp were just better and had more heft behind the notes
Needless to say I’m ditching the SCR and TC and be happy with this great sounding amp and my ABM600
Dual lock is very strong ( in fact hard to remove items if you get 400 variant )
I did use it on small mini pedals once and it’s perfect but I’m back to trusty Velcro for ease of moving pedals etc.
Mine stay put nicely but are always on so only get an occasional stomp !
Having never used pedals before with bass I’m now sporting a tuner , Compressor and then Pre amp into a flat sounding amp
Mine are on the floor as I can step on the preamp drive pedal if and when required, same for tuner
Going to use the Orange Little Bass Thing for now as it sounds good with the pre amp pedal
My sale of the ABM600 is put on hold as I still really like that amp and it’s still virtually new !
Tried it today, you have to have an input connected too or the amp auto mutes. Using the Line In didn’t seem that loud compared to the normal input.
My Orange Little Bass Thing head works really well with the Ampeg SCR-DI so that got me thinking of an amp in a similar neutral style
